Treat Cavities
Tooth-colored fillings are one of the most common ways to treat tooth decay. We use a composite resin material and match it to the color of your tooth so that the filling blends in seamlessly with your other teeth. Once we remove the decay, the filling will go in its place to prevent future infections.
Crown Your Smile
Dental crowns are caps that cover an entire tooth. They are a diverse treatment that can be used for both cosmetic and restorative purposes. From covering chips, cracks, and tooth discoloration to protecting a weak tooth to supporting a tooth with a large filling, crowns can just about do it all!
Bridge the gap
Dental bridges are a custom prosthesis used to replace one or multiple missing teeth in a row. A bridge has dental crowns on each end that attach to existing teeth on either side of the gap for support. Once in place, the natural-looking replacement teeth in the middle of the prosthesis will fill in the space.
Enjoy a Full Smile
Dentures can be used to replace both a full or partial arch of teeth. They have a gum-colored base with artificial (yet realistic-looking) teeth attached. Dentures do more than just give you a complete smile, they also fill out your cheeks and lips and restore your smile’s functionality.
Preserve Your Natural Teeth
Root canal therapy is used to save natural teeth. When a tooth is severely damaged or decayed, root canal treatment may be the only way to restore the tooth back to health. We use a small entry point at the top of the tooth to access damaged pulp and disinfect the inside of the tooth. Once the tooth is cleaned out, we seal it off to prevent future infections.
Get a Gentle Extraction
Tooth extractions are only performed after all other treatment options have been exhausted. If an extraction is necessary, we thoroughly numb the area beforehand and use forceps to gently remove the problematic tooth.
How long do dental crowns last?
When properly maintained, a dental crown can be expected to last at least 15 years. Some patients have seen them last twice as long with proper care. Keeping up good oral habits at home and visiting your dentist for your bi-annual check-ups is the best way to ensure the longevity of your dental crowns.
How long do dental fillings last?
The type of filling you have affects the expected longevity of your restorative work. The most common amalgam fillings typically last around 15 years with proper care. Another popular option is gold, which often lasts around 20 years but is also more expensive. If you’re curious about other filling types and lifespans, please call our office for more information.
What is the difference between a crown and a filling?
Crowns fit over the tooth like a snug mask and cover the tooth right up to the gumline. Dental fillings are used to fill in holes created by decay or damage. Dental crowns are usually used in the presence of severe damage or decay.
Do dental implants look natural?
Yes! Modern dental techniques have made crowns look more natural than ever before. Dental implants are a great tooth replacement option as they look, feel, and operate essentially just like your natural teeth, including preserving the integrity of your jawbone.
How do dental implants prevent bone loss?
The titanium post that is inserted into the jawbone mimics the roots of your natural teeth. This stimulates the jawbone, discouraging the resorption of bone that occurs when a tooth is pulled and not replaced with an implant. Replacing the tooth’s root with an implant also encourages osseointegration, which promotes the regrowth of the jawbone around the implant site.
What restorative treatments are covered by insurance?
Most restorative treatments are covered in part by insurance. The best way to know what you can expect for specific restorative services is by checking your insurance’s summary of benefits. If you have further questions, we invite you to call our office.
How can I get a treatment plan?
You can receive a treatment plan by coming in for a comprehensive exam and cleaning. We’ll take a thorough look at your teeth, gums, and the soft tissues of your mouth to check for any signs of worry. Then, the doctor will give you a personalized treatment plan to address any problem areas.
