Restorative DentistryThere are a number of restorative techniques we employ to make our patients look good while providing optimal dental care. Some of these include: Amalgam (Mercury) Filling Removal
White/Composite Fillings
OnlaysWhen a restoration is too large to use a composite filling, an onlay may be the solution. It is a custom fabricated onlay to provide support to a tooth as a conservative restoration method. Onlays made outside the mouth and bonded in place, can often be completed in one visit. Veneers
CrownsA crown is a restoration that completely covers the tooth in order to strengthen and restore a tooth to its normal shape and size. A crown usually replaces a large filling when there is little remaining tooth structure. It will serve to protect the tooth from fracturing. Any tooth that has been treated with a root canal will require a crown following treatment to provide strength and support for that tooth. BridgesA fixed bridge is used to replace missing teeth. A bridge helps create a normal bite. It also can be used to prevent the drifting and tilting of adjacent teeth. Bridges are composed of abutments (the support teeth), the pontics (the artificial teeth replacing the missing natural teeth) and the span which is the artificial teeth making up the bridge framework. |
