Our Restorative Dentistry Services
1. Dental Fillings
When decay affects a tooth, we use modern filling materials to restore its structure and function. We prioritize patient health and aesthetics, carefully selecting durable and visually appealing materials.
2. Dental Crowns
For teeth that are severely damaged or decayed, we offer dental crowns. These custom-made caps cover the entire visible portion of the tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance.
3. Dental Bridges
To replace one or more missing teeth, we provide dental bridges. These prosthetic devices are anchored to adjacent teeth, effectively “bridging” the gap left by missing teeth.
4. Dental Implants
We offer dental implant services as a long-term solution for missing teeth. These artificial tooth roots provide a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth that are made to match your natural teeth.
5. Non-Surgical Root Canal
All of our dentists are specially trained in providing non-surgical root canal treatment. This treatment is designed to save a severely decayed or infected tooth by removing the damaged pulp, cleaning the inside of the tooth, and sealing it to prevent further infection. Without a root canal, an infected tooth would likely need to be extracted.
6. Dentures
We provide custom-fitted dentures for patients missing multiple teeth or full arches. These removable appliances can significantly improve their ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
