Restorative Procedures

Bridge:

A bridge, also called a fixed partial denture, is a restoration that replaces or spans the space where one or more teeth have been removed or are missing. A bridge helps maintain the shape of your face, as well as alleviate the stress in your bite by replacing the missing teeth.

.

Dentures:

Full or partial dentures allow people who have lost all or some of their teeth the ability to eat, speak and smile. The full denture replaces all of the patient's natural teeth and provides support for the cheeks and lips. Without the support of teeth, facial muscles can begin to sag. The partial denture simply replaces missing teeth so the remaining teeth don't shift and become crooked. Crooked teeth are difficult to clean which results in decay and other dental problems.

Root Canal:

In past years, if a tooth had a diseased nerve, the patient would have lost that tooth. Today, with a special dental procedure, called root canal therapy, the tooth can be saved. Inside each tooth is the nerve, also known as the pulp, which provides nutrients and feeling to the tooth. It runs like a thread down through the root of the tooth. When the nerve is diseased or injured the tissue around the nerve dies. If the dead tissue is not removed the tooth will get infected and would need to be pulled. The dentist will remove the nerve, clean out the root canal and seal off the tooth to protect it. The dentist will then put a crown over the tooth to make it stronger. Typically, a root canal is a simple procedure with little or no discomfort.

Implants:

An alternative to a partial denture or bridge is a dental implant. A dental implant can be used to replace a single tooth or restore an entire smile and provide a more permanent solution. Dental implants are a good alternative for people who have generally good oral health and have lost their teeth due to an accident or have lost a tooth due to periodontal disease.

Veneers:

Our dentist can also fit you with custom veneers. Veneers are a thin tooth-colored porcelain covering placed over the front side of the tooth. They are generally placed on the upper front teeth that are severely discolored, poorly shaped or slightly crooked. Veneers are made by the lab tech in a dental lab, working from a model of the patient's teeth provided by the dentist.

Crowns:

A crown is a restoration that covers a tooth. Crowns are used to:

• Restore teeth
• Attach a bridge
• Protect weak teeth
• Restore fractured teeth
• Cover poorly shaped or colored teeth
• Cover dental implants
