Restorative Care
Restorative care is an essential aspect of dentistry focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and repair of dental issues that affect the function and appearance of the teeth. The goal of restorative care is to restore damaged or decayed teeth, preserving their structure and preventing further complications. By addressing issues such as cavities, tooth fractures, and missing teeth, restorative treatments help to maintain both the health and the aesthetics of your smile. These procedures are designed not only to repair the damage but also to restore the natural function of the teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are custom-made caps placed over damaged or decayed teeth to restore their original shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are commonly used when a tooth is severely weakened due to decay, injury, or after a root canal procedure. They are designed to cover the entire visible portion of the tooth, providing protection and preventing further damage. Crowns can be made from a variety of materials, including porcelain, metal, or a combination of both, depending on the location of the tooth and the desired aesthetic outcome. This restorative treatment ensures the tooth functions as it should, while blending seamlessly with the surrounding teeth for a natural look.
Fixed Bridges
Fixed bridges are permanent prosthetics used to replace one or more missing teeth. A bridge works by anchoring to the adjacent teeth on either side of the gap, filling the space where the missing tooth or teeth once were. The bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth, called pontics, which are held in place by dental crowns on the neighboring teeth. This restorative solution helps restore the ability to chew and speak properly while maintaining the alignment of your remaining teeth. Fixed bridges not only improve functionality but also enhance the overall appearance of your smile, providing a natural and long-lasting solution for tooth replacement.
Composite Fillings
Composite fillings are tooth-colored restorations used to repair cavities or minor fractures in teeth. Made from a durable resin material, composite fillings are designed to blend seamlessly with the natural color of the tooth, providing a discreet and aesthetically pleasing solution for tooth repair. This type of filling is ideal for areas that are visible when smiling or speaking. Composite fillings are also used to correct minor chips or fractures in teeth, restoring their shape and strength. The material is applied in layers and then hardened with a special light, ensuring a precise fit that restores the tooth’s original function and appearance.
