When we see people who have cracked or chipped teeth, or who are suffering from tooth decay or infection, we want to help. With restorative dentistry, our team can repair teeth and offer results that look natural and last for years to come. In today’s blog, your Ankeny, IA, dentist talks about our approach to lifelike dental restorations.
When a Smile Needs Repair
When should you see our team for custom dental restorations? We could recommend one should a tooth be injured and develop a chip or crack, or even more severe breakage. If you have a tooth that aches, this could mean the potential presence of a cavity or infection, and again with dental restorations we can repair the tooth and prevent worsening complications. Restorative dentistry can restore teeth to optimal function, health, and beauty, sometimes in as little as one visit. Don’t risk infection or tooth loss, talk to our team!
Planning Your Treatment
We will begin the process by carefully examining your smile with digital x-rays and intraoral cameras, so we can assess the cause and extent of your restorative concerns. With this information, we can plan treatment. We will craft our crowns and fillings based on detailed digital images and impressions we take of your smile, ensuring a comfortable fit and a balanced bite.
Our Custom Restorations
If you have a cavity, we could use composite resin to offer a metal-free dental filling that we can shade to blend with your smile. Placement takes one visit, and you avoid the risk of an infected tooth. If you have cosmetic issues, such as teeth stains, minor damage, or misshapen teeth, we could use composite resin in a bonding procedure to repair the tooth, again in one sitting. If you have a more severe injury or case of tooth decay, then our team could create a custom dental crown. The crown will fit over the tooth and be able to handle daily bite forces and pressures. We use materials that can be shaded to blend with your smile too. If the tooth is infected, we can conduct a root canal and then complete it with our custom dental restorations.
If you have any questions about how we correct smiles with a custom and lifelike dental restoration, or if you have a damaged tooth that needs attention, then reach out to our team today. We want to help you smile with confidence again!
