Versatile bridges and crowns can improve your dental health and total wellness. If you're ready to repair your smile with restorative dentistry, your visit will be relaxed and convenient with extended hours, a caring team, and sedation, if desired.
Fix Dental Problems Before They Worsen
Once the infection gets inside your tooth, you risk losing it. Plus, the infection can spread, causing even more problems. Bacteria can enter your tooth through a crack, break, or damaged enamel due to decay. That's why it's important to repair damaged teeth ASAP. Missing teeth can cause further complications and need to be replaced right away. With our help, you'll enhance your smile's appearance and save teeth you might otherwise lose to tooth decay, infection, and other problems. You have multiple restoration options.
Dental Crowns
Crowns can mend cracks and breaks and protect your tooth by sealing it shut after a root canal. It can also strengthen weak teeth and cover flaws like misshapen or stained teeth.
Dental Bridges
Conventional or implant dental bridges replace missing teeth. Traditional options rely on nearby teeth for support. An implant bridge is anchored to your jaw.
Inlays and Onlays
An inlay covers the entire top surface of your tooth. It is used to fix problems that are not big enough for a crown. An onlay covers more of your tooth, but still less than a crown.
Tooth Fillings
In some cases, we may be able to fix your tooth with a more conservative restoration. We use tooth-colored composite fillings that look natural in your smile.
Implant Restorations
Replace one tooth with a crown attached to an implant to avoid reshaping nearby teeth to support a traditional bridge. Implant bridges can replace several missing teeth.
Lessen Your Chance of Dental Damage With Routine Dental Care
While accidents do happen, you can help prevent dental damage by taking good care of your teeth. We recommend:
- Brushing and flossing daily to help prevent cavities
- Never using teeth as tools to open packaging or perform similar tasks
- Limiting your consumption of sugary and acidic foods
- Seeing us every six months for a dental cleaning and exam
- Wearing a custom-made mouthguard to protect your teeth during athletic activities
- Wearing a mouthguard at night if you grind teeth in your sleep
