Restorative

Our Restorative Dentistry Options

If your smile is suffering from a cavity or trauma, we can offer treatment to keep the infection and damage away. Here are four ways we can restore your smile and the key purposes for each treatment:

Dental Fillings

Dental fillings are a type of restorative dentistry treatment used to repair damaged areas of teeth. They address minor cavities but can also be used to fix worn, broken, or chipped teeth. Fillings essentially plug these openings, preventing food, sugar, and bacteria from accumulating and causing further damage.

Dental Crowns

A dental crown is a custom-made, tooth-shaped cap that fits over a weakened or damaged tooth. It acts like a strong outer shell, restoring the tooth's strength, shape, size, and appearance. Dental crowns are often used for severely cracked, broken, worn down, or root canal-treated teeth.

Root Canals

A root canal can restore a tooth's health if it becomes infected due to a severe cavity or injury. The dentist removes the infected pulp, cleans the inside, and seals the tooth back up, saving it from extraction.

Extractions

A dental extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. This becomes necessary when a tooth is too damaged or infected to be saved through other means. In these scenarios, extracting the tooth can protect your oral health by preventing the infection from spreading to nearby teeth and bone.
