Restorative dentistry can repair damaged teeth or provide treatment for common issues like tooth decay and even tooth loss! Our team wants to help take on these issues and return your smile to full function, health, and beauty once again. In today’s blog, your team at Dreem Dentistry talks about the lifelike repair and replacement we offer with restorative dentistry. You can enjoy results that look natural and blend with your smile, while also restoring overall health and function too.
Dental Crowns
If you have a tooth that is cracked or chipped, or even severely broken, then we could often help with restorative dentistry by placing a crown. The restoration caps the tooth and covers it completely, and could also address issues like tooth decay and infection, and could reshape teeth to improve overall bite balance and chewing function. Our team will craft them from durable materials like porcelain, porcelain-fused-to-metal, and zirconia, which can all be shaded to blend with your smile. The material can also handle daily bite forces with ease, and could even support prosthetics like a bridge and restore a single dental implant to address tooth loss.
Our Custom Bridges
Restorative dentistry can also tackle tooth loss! If you have suffered from minor tooth loss, we could restore your smile with a dental bridge. This can handle a single lost tooth or as many as three in a row. Our team will gently remove structure from the natural teeth on each side of the gap, and then take images and measurements of the area. In a dental lab, we will design and craft a bridge from durable and lifelike ceramic. The completed bridge will contain new lifelike teeth with crowns on each end. We attach the crowns to the abutment teeth; the natural ones we remove structure from. This supports your new bridge in place for years to come.
Composite Resin Fillings and Bonding
Our team could use restorative dentistry to offer repair and improvement in only one visit. With composite resin, we can address serious issues with a metal-free material that blends glass-like and acrylic parties. This is then shaded to blend with your tooth and offer a lifelike appearance. For people with tooth decay, we can use this to treat the issue in one sitting, replacing the need for a metal restoration. If you have issues with minor injuries or cosmetic concerns like stains or misshapen teeth, we could use composite resin in a dental bonding procedure to repair the tooth and offer results that blend with the smile, all in only one visit.
Dental Implants
If you have lost natural teeth, we could also replace them with dental implants. This option involves inserting a new root into the jawbone. The implant then stimulates jawbone growth to keep your smile intact so you don’t lose mass and density, which usually occurs following tooth loss. This allows your new root to stay in place of decades to come, possibly a lifetime, with proper care and attention. We then finish your new tooth by attaching an abutment to the post and connecting a crown to it, so you have a new tooth that can handle daily bite forces and one that looks natural too!
Dental Implant Bridges and Dentures
Our team can also tackle more than one lost tooth at a time with dental implant bridges. If you have a gap of two to three missing teeth in a row, then we could insert one to two dental implants into the jaw, where they act as new roots. No need to remove structure from surrounding teeth at all! We then attach the crown portion of your new prosthetic to these posts, which supports your new bridge firmly in place. While traditional bridges last about 10 to 15 years, a dental implant option can last far longer, decades even! We can also secure a full set of dentures with as little as four posts per arch with All-On-X!
