Restorative Dental Services

Our practice provides a wide array of restorative services to meet the individual needs of each patient. Some of our restorative services include:

• Dental Implants: A permanent way to replace a missing tooth or teeth. Implants are rooted into and fuse with the supporting bone, providing a root that preserves the bite structure and prevents bone loss.
• Bridges: Used to replace up to three missing teeth. Bridges are anchored into place on both sides by the neighboring teeth, which are fitted with a crown and act as supports for the bridge.
• Full and Partial Dentures: These can replace everything from a group of teeth to a full arch. Dentures act as natural teeth and restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile naturally. They are held in place by suction or a dental adhesive.
• Implant-Supported Dentures: These dentures are a permanent replacement to a missing arch of teeth. No adhesives or overnight cleaning necessary – implant-supported dentures serve as new real teeth and can be cared for with standard brushing. They also will not slip out of place when eating or speaking.
• Composite Fillings and Bonding: Whether filling in a cavity or making a cracked tooth whole, our practice uses a tooth-colored composite to restore your teeth in appearance as well as health.
• Crowns: A crown is placed over a tooth to protect it when it is weakened by fractures or a large filling, or when a tooth is used to support a bridge.
• Root Canal Therapy: When bacteria infect the inner pulp of a tooth, a root canal is the best option to eliminate the infection and preserve the tooth. Once the tooth is free of infection and protected with a crown, it functions perfectly once more.
• Tooth Extraction: When a tooth is damaged or decayed beyond repair, it may need to be removed. Many people also require one or more of their third molars – known as wisdom teeth – to be removed due to limited space in the jaw. Our office performs gentle and efficient extractions to remove problem teeth while maximizing patient comfort during the procedure.
