Restorative dentistry is the branch of dentistry that deals with the fabrication of dental restorations. In most cases, such restorations are used to bring the teeth back to their ideal condition in terms of color, size, texture, contour, and structural strength.
Dental filling
The dental filling procedure is usually completed in one dental appointment. The first step of the process is to prepare the tooth for filling by removing any decay. Then, the tooth is cleaned, prepared, and filled with dental filling material. The tooth is then shaped to blend in with the other teeth, and the bite is checked to make sure it feels balanced and comfortable.
Dental crown
For patients with tooth decay or a large cavity, dental crowns may be recommended. Dental crowns are a restorative dental procedure used to strengthen and repair teeth that are damaged or decayed. They are made of porcelain and fit completely over the top of each tooth, providing a natural look and functioning like a normal tooth.
Dental crowns are durable, providing long-lasting protection and strength. They can help patients avoid tooth extractions since a dental crown can repair teeth that might otherwise need to be extracted.
Dental bridge
A dental bridge is a type of fixed dental restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth. A dental bridge is secured by crowns on either side of the gap, and it fills in the gap with a false tooth. A bridge is non-removable.
Dental implant
Dental implants are a permanent option for replacing missing teeth. Patients can brush and floss normally and easily keep their mouths healthy. This means that patients won’t have to worry about cavities developing in their natural teeth, as the implant crown can essentially take the place of your missing tooth. Dental implants can be restored with single crowns, bridges, and dentures.
Dentures
Teeth naturally start to deteriorate in adulthood. At our dental practice, we offer partial and full dentures as restorative dentistry solutions for missing teeth. We understand that tooth loss can lead to embarrassment, but they don’t have to be.
Partial dentures are removable dental appliances that replace multiple missing teeth. They are held in place by clasps that attach to your remaining teeth. We design them to fit your smile perfectly for a natural-looking result.
Full dentures are for people who have lost all of their teeth. They are held in place by suction and denture adhesives. Our dental team helps you determine which type of denture will best meet your restorative dentistry needs.
