Restorative Dentistry

When dealing with a cavity, the last thing you want is to draw attention to it with a noticeable metallic filling on your tooth. Our doctors understand this concern, ensuring that your fillings not only look but also feel natural. Our tooth-colored fillings offer the advantage of preserving more healthy tooth structure and reducing the risk of future infections. These fillings seamlessly blend in with your natural tooth enamel. The biocompatible material can be color-matched to your tooth, ensuring that only you and your doctor will be aware of the previous presence of tooth decay. . 

In certain cases, tooth decay or damage may require more extensive treatment than a tooth-colored filling but may not necessitate a full dental crown. This is where onlays and inlays become relevant. Referred to as "partial crowns," these restorations are bonded to the teeth, enhancing their strength and safeguarding against future decay. While traditionally made of gold or silver, we utilize tooth-colored materials like porcelain, which are both durable and aesthetically pleasing, seamlessly blending with your remaining healthy tooth structure. 

In cases where tooth-colored fillings are insufficient to address extensive

decay or damage, we have the capability to design and place resilient dental crowns. When consecutive teeth are missing and surrounded by healthy teeth, we can install dental bridges, which effectively close the gap in your smile and restore your ability to chew. These restorations have a natural appearance and enable us to reinstate the strength, functionality, and beauty of your teeth, even after experiencing disease or trauma. 

• A root canal is a dental procedure that is performed to treat and save a severely damaged or infected tooth. Inside each tooth, there is a soft tissue called the dental pulp, which contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. When the dental pulp becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures, or trauma to the tooth, a root canal treatment is necessary.
• During a root canal procedure, the doctor removes the infected or damaged dental pulp. The tooth's interior is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to eliminate any remaining bacteria.
• Following a root canal, a dental crown is often recommended to restore the tooth's strength, protect it from further damage, and improve its appearance. The crown covers the treated tooth, providing added support and functionality.
• The goal of a root canal is to alleviate pain, eliminate infection, and save the natural tooth, avoiding the need for extraction. Root canals have a high success rate and can effectively restore the health and function of a severely compromised tooth.

Our doctors always strive to protect and maintain your natural teeth whenever feasible. Nevertheless, there are instances where tooth extraction becomes the sole or most suitable approach for ensuring the overall health of your smile. In such situations, we prioritize your care and comfort above all else. We take measures to ensure your relaxation during the procedure and then guide you through the available options for tooth replacement, if required. 

Throughout numerous years, dentures have remained a favored option for tooth replacement. However, it is important to note that they have not remained stagnant. Progress in technology and materials has resulted in dentures that are now more lifelike and comfortable than ever. Whether you are missing multiple teeth in various areas of your upper or lower jaw, or if you have lost all of your teeth, we offer denture solutions that can assist you in restoring your smile. 

Regarded as the most advanced method for replacing missing teeth, dental implants go beyond merely addressing the visible portion of the tooth. They replicate the natural tooth structure by restoring the root, a crucial aspect for long-term oral health.
