When you have teeth in need of repair, we can offer help with restorative dentistry. From fillings to dentures, we can take on serious issues with restoration made from lifelike materials. In today’s blog, Dr. Hansen and Dr. Hemming at Central Park Dentistry in Charles City, IA, can repair teeth with restorative dentistry!
When Teeth Need Repair
Repairing your teeth with restorative dentistry allows our team to take on serious issues and protect your smile from complications, including the potential loss of a tooth. You should see us when a tooth hurts and the pain lasts for more than a day, as this could indicate decay or even infection. If a tooth is damaged, then let us know right away, as even minor injuries could allow cavities or even infection to form.
Tooth Fillings
If you have a cavity, we can repair your tooth with a procedure known as a filling. In one visit, we can clean the tooth, remove decay, and apply a metal-free filling material known as composite resin. We also use this in bonding procedures to repair damage and mask cosmetic imperfections. This is shaded to blend with your tooth and look natural.
Dental Crowns
If you need more substantial repair, we can offer this with restorative dentistry. With a crown, we can cap the tooth and address more severe concerns, the kind too advanced to be addressed with a filling alone. The crown fits over the tooth and is made from lifelike and durable materials, blending with your smile seamlessly and handling daily bite forces and pressures with erase.
Root Canal Therapy
Our team could also repair infected teeth using restorative dentistry. With a root canal, we can gently remove the infected tissues from within the tooth, replacing it with a special filling. We then cap the tooth with a dental crown, one that looks natural and also provides durable protection for the remaining natural structure as well. A root canal can help you avoid the risk of tooth loss.
Bridges and Dentures
What about tooth replacement? If you have minor tooth loss, such as one slot tooth or up to three in a row, then we could help with a dental bridge. The prosthetic will be made from ceramic and shade to blend with your smile, containing new teeth with crowns on each end. We attach the crowns to abutment teeth on each side of the gap, securing your new ones for up to 15 years on average. If you have more severe tooth loss, we could offer dentures!
