Procedures Offered
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are caps placed over damaged or decayed teeth to restore their shape, size, and function. They provide protection and improve the appearance of your smile.
Dental Bridges
Dental bridges fill the gap left by one or more missing teeth. They consist of artificial teeth (pontics) anchored by crowns on adjacent teeth, restoring both function and appearance.
Dental Implant Restorations
Dental implants offer a permanent solution for missing teeth. Our implant restorations involve placing a titanium post in the jawbone, topped with a custom crown that looks and functions like a natural tooth.
Dentures
We offer both traditional and implant-retained dentures to replace multiple missing teeth. Traditional dentures are removable, while implant-retained options provide a more stable and secure fit.
Root Canal
A root canal is a treatment used to save a tooth that is severely infected or decayed. The procedure involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning the inside of the tooth, and sealing it to prevent further infection.
Frequently Asked Questions About Restorative Dentistry
What is the difference between restorative and cosmetic dentistry?
Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing and restoring the function of teeth, while cosmetic dentistry aims to enhance the appearance of your smile. However, many procedures overlap and can achieve both goals.
How long do dental crowns last?
With proper care, dental crowns can last between 10 to 15 years or even longer. Good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups are essential to prolong their lifespan.
Are dental implants painful?
The dental implant procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, so you should not feel pain during the process. Some discomfort is normal after the surgery, but it can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
How do I care for my dentures?
Clean your dentures daily with a soft toothbrush and denture cleaner. Avoid using hot water, which can warp the material. When not wearing your dentures, store them in water to prevent drying out.
Can children receive restorative dentistry treatments?
Yes, children can receive restorative treatments such as fillings, crowns, and root canals. Our team is experienced in providing gentle and effective care for patients of all ages.
What should I do if I have a dental emergency?
If you experience a dental emergency, such as a broken tooth or severe pain, contact our office immediately. We offer same-day appointments for urgent dental issues.
How often should I visit the dentist for check-ups?
It is recommended to visit the dentist every six months for routine check-ups and cleanings. Regular visits help prevent dental issues and ensure any problems are detected early.
Is restorative dentistry covered by insurance?
Many restorative dentistry procedures are covered by dental insurance. Our team can help you understand your coverage and work with your insurance provider to maximize your benefits.
