Restorative Dentistry Procedures

Fillings

Modern dentistry offers many healthy treatment options. Mercury-free materials provide natural results that leave you smiling. Cavities, chips, and fractures occur on any tooth surface throughout the mouth. Composite filling material provides a versatile solution to many common problems. Blended into a prepared area, the composite polishes to a smooth, undetectable surface.

Onlays

Teeth rarely fracture or decay in a perfectly predictable way. Sometimes damage is too great for a basic filling, but not big enough for a crown. Porcelain onlays provide an excellent solution for teeth that need extra reinforcement without being covered entirely. Bonded into a place, they provide years of natural feel, function, and esthetics.

Bonding

Your smile projects a powerful message everywhere you go. If small chips and other minor cosmetic damage is affecting the appearance of your smile, dental bonding is a quick and inexpensive way to repair damaged teeth.

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are used to restore badly damaged teeth. Also called dental caps, these restorations are matched for color and resemble your natural teeth.

Root Canals

While many patients are concerned about root canals, modern techniques often make this procedure as quick and simple as any other procedure. Infected teeth in danger of removal can be disinfected and filled with a sealer, leaving a safe solution for problematic situations.

Periodontal Care

Gum disease continues to be the leading cause of tooth loss in adults today. A devastating condition when left untreated, periodontitis doesn’t have to write your story. But a strategic approach with focused treatment and home care is essential to control this chronic bacterial infection. Plus, this disease can aggravate other serious medical conditions that may seem unrelated to your mouth.
