We want to offer treatment for serious concerns, such as damaged or decayed teeth, or even lost teeth, which can ensure results that look natural. We incorporate lifelike materials that are also biocompatible and safe for your smile! In today’s blog, your team at Celina Family Dentistry talks about our approach to restorative dentistry for patients in Celina, TX.
Placing A Filling
Restorative dentistry allows our team to treat tooth decay in only one visit, offering relief from toothaches and preventing the issue from becoming an infection that could threaten the stability of your smile. A filling is made from a metal-free composite resin, which we also shade to lend with your tooth. Once secured, this can match your tooth and stay in place for years to come. The filling is safe for kids and adults alike, and we can use the same material in a dental bonding procedure to mask common cosmetic complaints, such as chipped teeth, open gaps between teeth, and even severe teeth stains.
Securing a Dental Crown
What if you have an issue too severe to be addressed with a filling or bonding procedure? In a case like this, our team could help with a custom dental crown. Restorative dentistry means talking on minor and severe injuries, as well as decay or even issues with bite balance. With a crown, we can place a full restoration that covers the entire physical structure. Usually made from lifelike materials like porcelain, zirconia, or porcelain-fused-to-metal, these can blend with your smile and stay secure for years to come!
Bridges
What if you have lost a tooth? With restorative dentistry, we can help secure a complete smile again. If you have minor tooth loss, such as a single missing tooth or as many as three in a row, we could create and place a dental bridge. The dental prosthetic is made from all-porcelain and can be shaded to blend with your smile, and will contain one to three new teeth with crowns attached to each end. We then attach the crown portions to the abutment teeth on each side of the gap, which supports your new teeth with precision, ensuring a durable and long-lasting way to tackle minor tooth loss.
Root Canal Therapy
When a tooth is infected, care is crucial. Otherwise, you risk losing the tooth and allowing infection to move into other teeth or into the jawbone itself. But with root canal therapy, we can use restorative dentistry to stop an infection, bring relief from painful symptoms, and keep the tooth intact. The procedure involves essentially opening the tooth to remove the interior tissues and replace them with a special filling. We then cap the tooth with a crown to protect the remaining structure and prevent further decay or infection. This can stop pain and save your smile!
Dentures
What if you have tooth loss too severe for a bridge to handle alone? In a case like this, restorative dentistry could provide a complete smile with a set of dentures. For multiple gaps spread out across the arch, we could create a prosthetic that contains new teeth set in an acrylic base, and which is held in place with metal clasps that connect to natural teeth. The partial replaces all your lost teeth at once.
If you have lost most or all of your teeth, we could create a full that replaces every tooth on one or both arches, held in place with suction or adhesives. Both options can last about 5 to 10 years, and need to be soaked and cleaned regularly.
Dental Implants
For tooth replacement that looks and functions like natural teeth, we could offer dental implants. These are actually inserted into the jawbone and act like end tooth roots. Which means they can stay secure for much longer, decades or even a lifetime. We can address one missing tooth or use several of these to support a bridge or a denture. If you have any questions about how we take on serious concerns and ensure lifelike results, then reach out today to learn more about restorative dentistry. We want to help you smile with confidence this summer, and avoid complications down the road, so start care today.
