Restorative Dentistry
This area of dentistry involves repairing or replacing lost or damaged tooth structure, or replacement of teeth. Examples of these procedures:
Fillings
Generally required if your tooth has a cavity, or is chipped or broken.
Crowns/Veneers
These are procedures often used when a larger portion of tooth requires repair or structural support (or for esthetics, such as a discolored tooth).
The tooth is usually covered by a lab-made material such as porcelain or zirconia, or gold/metal alloy.
Implants
This is a 2 component procedure for replacing teeth. One component is a surgical titanium screw that is placed into the site of a lost tooth; bone
grows around the “threads” of this screw. The second component is a crown is attached to this screw. At our office, we can complete second phase of the implant, and work with a surgeon or specialist for the first phase of this procedure.
