Common Restorative Dentistry Procedures
Dental Fillings: Preserving Tooth Integrity
Dental fillings are a cornerstone of modern dentistry, addressing the common issue of cavities and tooth decay. Our skilled dentists utilize the latest techniques and materials to restore damaged teeth. Amalgam fillings are renowned for their durability and strength, while tooth-colored composite fillings seamlessly blend with your natural teeth, providing both protection and aesthetics.
Dental Crowns and Bridges: Restoring Form and Function
Dental crowns and bridges are versatile solutions to a variety of dental concerns. Dental crowns, also known as “caps,” are custom-made to fit over a damaged tooth, restoring its shape, strength, and appearance. Bridges, on the other hand, fill the gaps left by missing teeth, preventing adjacent teeth from shifting and maintaining your bite’s alignment.
Dental Implants: A Permanent Solution
Dental implants are the gold standard for tooth replacement, offering a durable, natural-looking solution. Our experienced implant specialists ensure a seamless process from consultation to final restoration. The titanium implant acts as an artificial tooth root, providing stability and preventing bone loss. With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, significantly improving both function and aesthetics.
Root Canal Therapy: Saving Infected Teeth
Root canal therapy is a common procedure aimed at saving infected teeth from extraction. Our skilled endodontists use advanced techniques to remove infected pulp, relieving pain and preventing further complications. This procedure not only alleviates discomfort but also allows you to retain your natural tooth, maintaining both appearance and function.
