To help repair teeth that are cracked or chipped, or to treat tooth decay or infection, we can help with restorative dentistry. We can even take on tooth loss! In today’s blog, Dental Impressions in Ankeny, IA, talks about helping smiles with restorative dentistry.
The Warning Signs of Danger
When should you contact our team for restorative dentistry? If you have aches in your teeth, or sensitivity when you eat or drink, then you should let us know. This could indicate a decayed or possibly infected tooth, and restorative dentistry can help repair the tooth. If a tooth is lost, then we can replace it and protect the overall stability, health, and beauty of your smile. We will examine your smile with digital x-rays and intraoral cameras to assess the cause and severity of your concern, so we can treat the issue with a custom solution, one that is made from durable, biocompatible, and lifelike materials!
Dental Fillings
If you have a cavity, we can stop the decay and treat it in only one visit. With a filling, we apply a meta-free composite resin that we shade to blend with the tooth. The same material can be used in a dental bonding procedure to repair minor damage and mask cosmetic imperfections, all in a single visit!
Custom Dental Crowns
If you have more severe damage to a tooth, or issues with bite balance and chewing function, we can help with a crown. The restoration caps the tooth and offers a lifelike appearance, covering the structure above the gum line. We use durable material that we can shade to blend with your smile, such as ceramic. This can help take on injuries, cavities, and even infection by completing a root canal procedure.
Dental Bridges
If you have lost a tooth, or as many as three in a row, then we could help with a dental bridge. The prosthetic will contain new teeth with crowns on each end. We attach the crowns to the abutment teeth on each side of the gap in your smile, which secures your new teeth firmly in place for 10 to 15 years on average. The bridge can look natural and restore function to your smile again!
Dentures
If you have more severe tooth loss, we could target a full or partial denture to address the issue. These are biocompatible and can last for 5 to 10 years on average!
Dental Implants
For new teeth that look and function like natural teeth, we could offer dental implants!
