Restorative Dentistry
Crowns: A cap, or strong, long-lasting tooth-shaped covering that fits over an existing tooth to strengthen, restore, or improve the appearance of the tooth.
Why is a crown a good choice?
• Duplicates or improves natural tooth color
• Eliminates chips, cracks, and imperfections
• Enhances your smile
• Covers badly shaped or discolored teeth
• Restores and maintains your natural bite
• Protects a weak tooth from cracking
• Discourages further decay
Bridges: A bridge is a group of connected crowns that can either fixed to natural teeth or implants, or be removed.
Fixed Bridge: Generally made of porcelain and metal, a fixed bridge is used to replace missing teeth. It is a group of connected crowns, some of which are suspended over the area of a missing tooth or teeth, and the others of which are anchored by the neighboring teeth or dental implants for support
Removable Bridge: Recommended in complex dental situations to restore support and function in the case of several missing and/or damaged teeth. Can be more affordable than a fixed bridge.
Why is a bridge a good choice?
• Replaces missing teeth
• Provides for natural tooth color
• Restores and maintains natural bite
• Covers bad or misshaped teeth
• Prevents shifting and tilting of adjacent teeth
Root Canals: We know….we have heard it before: this term SOUNDS “scary!” However, times have changed and a root canal is not to be as fearsome as it once was. This procedure is needed when the center of the tooth dies, or becomes infected. An injury, crack, or decay can cause serious pain, leading to a necessary root canal, which is a procedure we practice almost daily. Most people try to wait out the pain, but early detection and treatment can make everything go much easier.
Dentures/Partials: A full or partial set of dentures, which are a removable version of teeth and gums, brings so many benefits to the patient. Having “teeth” can extend one’s life by improving the “quality of life” they may be living with aging teeth. Dentures allow a person to eat and enjoy the foods they love, have a healthy and beautiful smile, speak confidently, and support facial muscles.
