Restoring Damaged Teeth
Damage to the teeth can occur during the development of teeth or cause by caries, failing restorations, trauma, teeth grinding, exposure of teeth to acid (diet or disease), or reduction of salivary flow. We provide services such as fillings, veneers, and crowns to address each patient’s concerns. The complexity of every dental condition is variable and could range from minor intervention to comprehensive treatment.
Replacing Missing Teeth
If the gaps left by missing teeth are not filled soon enough, oral health problems may develop.
Some of these problems include:
However, there are treatment options that can restore the form and function of teeth.
TREATMENTS FOR MISSING TEETH
Dental implants are made of titanium posts which are inserted into the gaps left by missing teeth. Posts fuse to the jawbone during a healing period of 3 to 6 months. After this period, an abutment and dental crown are attached to the titanium post. Many patients forget that they have dental implants because they function like natural teeth.
For patients with one or several consecutive missing teeth, dental bridges are a great choice. Dental bridges can be removable or secured with dental implants for long-lasting results. This option also utilizes materials that blend in with existing teeth for a natural look.
Patients who are missing full arches of teeth can restore their smile with dentures. Like dental bridges, dentures can be permanently secured with dental implants. Dentures are created from high-quality materials that renew tooth function.
