Restorative Dentistry

Fillings are a common solution for treating small holes or cavities in teeth. Among the available types, composite fillings are especially popular due to their ability to effectively address cavities while preserving the natural appearance of your teeth. Made from a mixture of plastic and glass, composite fillings can blend seamlessly with your tooth color, offering a cosmetic advantage that keeps your smile looking bright and natural.

When a cavity is detected, your dentist will first remove the decayed tissue from the tooth. After the area is cleaned, it is then filled with a chosen filling material—often a composite resin for a subtle, tooth-colored finish. Although composite fillings may not be as durable as silver amalgam for large cavities, they’re highly effective for smaller fillings, restoring both the function and appearance of your tooth with ease.

Dental crowns are a versatile restorative treatment designed to strengthen and protect teeth that are damaged or weakened. Crowns cover the entire tooth, providing reinforcement for teeth that may be cracked, worn down, or affected by large cavities. Beyond just protection, crowns also improve the look of a tooth, making them an excellent option for cases where discoloration or damage impacts your smile.

Dental crowns can also serve additional functions, such as providing support for a dental bridge, or covering dental implants to complete your smile. Each crown is carefully crafted and color-matched to blend naturally with your surrounding teeth, so you can smile confidently while enjoying the added durability and protection a crown provides.

Dental bridges are a reliable restorative option for replacing one or more missing teeth, using your natural teeth or implants as support anchors, known as abutments. By filling in the gaps left by missing teeth, bridges not only improve your smile but also restore essential functions like chewing and speaking comfortably. Unlike dentures, bridges are designed to be a permanent solution, securely fixed to the abutment teeth to offer stability and ease.

The replacement teeth, called pontics, are crafted from durable materials like porcelain, ceramic, or metal alloys to closely resemble your natural teeth. Before placing a bridge, your dentist will ensure that the abutment teeth are strong enough to support it, as they’ll be the foundation for your new restoration. This process helps maintain the proper alignment of your teeth, preventing nearby teeth from drifting over time, which can alter your bite and jaw structure.

With a dental bridge, you can enjoy the full benefits of restored function and appearance, making eating and speaking easier and preserving the natural shape of your smile.

Dentures are custom-made, removable dental devices designed to replace missing teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with ease. When many or all of your natural teeth are missing, it can dramatically impact how your mouth functions, making it difficult to enjoy your favorite foods and even affecting the shape and alignment of your jaw. Dentures can help restore the full function of your mouth and give you a natural-looking smile that feels comfortable and secure.

If you’re missing all of your teeth, a full denture is crafted to replace the entire arch, providing essential support for your jaw and restoring the natural shape of your face. For patients with some remaining natural teeth, a partial denture fills in the gaps, improving your bite and stabilizing your dental alignment. Each denture is tailored to fit securely and comfortably, so you can talk and chew without worry. Dentures offer both practical and aesthetic benefits, giving you renewed confidence to eat and smile freely.
