If you have pain in a tooth, or have noticeable damage or even missing teeth, we can help. Our approach to restorative dentistry can offer improvement in only one visit sometimes, and help you feel confident! In today’s blog, the team at Celina Family Dentistry talks about improving smiles with restorative dentistry.
Common Reasons for Restorative Dentistry
When do you need to see our team for restorative dentistry? If you have chipped or cracked a tooth, then treatment could be crucial for avoiding major complications down the road, such as tooth decay or infection. Speaking of, our restorations allow our team to treat concerns like cavities and dental infection to stop pain and prevent tooth loss. Should you lose natural teeth, we have durable and lifelike replacement options, even if you have lost most or all of your natural teeth! We can transform your smile with restorative dentistry, and ensure the final results blend with your smile.
Dental Fillings
If you have an aching tooth and we discover a cavity, we can treat it in only one visit with restorative dentistry, so we stop decay and prevent an infected tooth. The material we use to treat the tooth is metal-free and safe for kids and adults alike, and we can take time to shade the material too. The ability to color-match the composite resin material is also why we use this filling material to mask cosmetic imperfections in a bonding procedure! In one visit, we treat the cavity and you enjoy a lifelike appearance afterward.
Dental Crowns
When a tooth sustains a serious injury, such as a chip or fracture, or if you have a cavity too severe for a filling to address, then we can help with a dental crown. The full restoration will cap the tooth and cover the structure above the gum line. Once in place, this custom crown will blend with the rest of your smile, being made from lifelike and durable materials like porcelain, porcelain-fused-to-metal, or even zirconia.
Root Canal Therapy
When a tooth develops an infection, this can cause prolonged pain and sensitivity in your tooth and face, and also impact how you eat. To avoid severe pain and the loss of your tooth, we could treat it with a root canal. After we numb the tooth, we gently remove the infected tissues from within the tooth and replace them with a medicated filling. The final step is to cap the tooth with a crown, which ensures your final results look natural and match the rest of your smile.
Dental Bridges
If you lose a tooth, we can help! With a dental bridge, our team can create a prosthetic that contains one to three replacement teeth, with bridges attached to either end. We then connect the crown portion to the natural teeth on each side of the gap, supporting the new teeth firmly in place. We can address minor tooth loss and restore your smile, and help you avoid complications like misalignment.
Dentures
If you have lost several teeth and have multiple gaps, this could be too severe for a bridge, but we can help with a partial denture. If you have lost most or all of your teeth on each arch, we could create a set of full dentures to replace them and restore function and beauty to your smile again. Each one will be custom-made for your smile from durable and lifelike materials, which ensures a comfortable fit, balanced bite, and a natural appearance. These can be removable, or we could discuss supporting them with dental implants.
Dental Implants
For tooth replacement that truly looks and functions like natural teeth, we could discuss dental implants. These can address individual missing teeth or even support a bridge or denture, providing new teeth that last far longer. This is because the implant portion is inserted into the jaw and acts like a new root, which prevents changes to your jawbone, so your new teeth can remain intact and your natural teeth can also stay stable. We then complete new roots with crowns or prosthetics that look natural and handle daily bite forces too.
