Restorative dentistry consists of procedures intended to return your mouth and teeth to full functionality. Restorations can include cosmetic options, such as tooth colored fillings or crowns, and more comprehensive solutions like dental bridges or dentures.
Dental Crowns. When a tooth’s chewing surface is damaged, whether due to decay, a crack or break, a root canal, or an old filling, a porcelain crown can restore the look and functionality of the tooth. Crowns are also used to cover dental implants.
Fixed Bridges. A bridge spans the gap left by missing teeth in your mouth, preventing the rest of the arch from shifting. A bridge can be fixed in the mouth by several different methods, and is topped with natural looking tooth restorations. If you are missing a single tooth or a few teeth in a row, a fixed bridge could be the perfect solution.
Dentures. Dentures can be used to restore your smile when numerous teeth are missing or damaged, or when all teeth have fallen out or been extracted due to decay or gum disease. Partial dentures replace multiple missing teeth with restorations that match your remaining teeth, while full dentures create a brand new, functional smile that is straight, white, and even.
