That’s probably one of our biggest areas, is we help patients with missing or damaged teeth. And things have changed over the years. And we, of course, still do fillings, but we don’t do the silver fillings anymore. We do tooth-colored resin fillings to restore damaged teeth. We also focus with porcelain, do crowns or veneers to take care of damaged teeth. As for missing teeth, you know, the treatments of yesteryear of partial dentures and complete dentures have kind of changed. We don’t do a whole lot of those anymore. Everything has kind of turned more implant-based, implant-supported. And so whether it’s one tooth or it’s an entire arch, implant-supported teeth or dentures are kind of the option for today.
Get Your Mouth Back in a Healthy Condition
There’s no need to feel embarrassed about your dental problems. Your dentist is here to help you gain your complete smile again. Our practice offers a patient-first approach to treatment, making sure our entire team understands your concerns before making any recommendations.
Whatever your most pressing need, your dentist will begin with an exam to identify the problem in your smile. He may recommend one of our restorative options, such as:
- Tooth Fillings – Your dentist can repair cavities and areas of damage with fillings. He uses tooth-colored fillings made of composite resin. They will blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
- Dental Crowns – Dental crowns can fix damaged teeth or protect a tooth after a root canal. They will cover the visible portion of your tooth and look like a natural part of your smile.
- Root Canal – Root canals stop an infection and prevent the need for an extraction. If your infection is more serious, your dentist may refer you to an endodontist, who specializes in root canal therapy.
- Dental Bridges – These custom-made restorations can replace one or more missing teeth. Your dentist can anchor them to implants or neighboring teeth, depending on what’s ideal for your smile needs.
You’ll Benefit from Advanced Technology
We care about your comfort during your appointment. That’s why our office has sedation (laughing gas) available, and you can relax with pillows or blankets. Your dentist has also invested in technology that improves the results of your treatment. Your dentist will identify and treat your restorative needs with:
- CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) – This advanced imaging technology provides high-resolution, 3-D images of the teeth, jawbone, and surrounding structures. It allows your dentist to diagnose your dental problems and create a treatment plan to restore your smile.
- iTero Digital Scanner – iTero is a state-of-the-art digital technology that captures impressions of your teeth. It provides a more comfortable and streamlined experience overall.
- Digital X-rays – Digital X-rays capture and store images of your teeth and jaw. They provide high-resolution images that your dentist can use for precise diagnoses and treatment planning.
