Restorative
Dentistry
What is Dental Restoration?
Tooth loss can happen for many reasons – dental decay, gum or bone disease, and even as a result of trauma. An estimated 178 million Americans are missing at least one tooth, and it’s often a delicate subject. Even missing just one tooth can make you feel self-conscious, and disrupt your full bite, which is why we’re committed to helping you get your whole smile back. The goal of restorative dentistry is to regain complete oral function and restore the appearance that may have been lost with the damage or loss of one or more teeth.Â
No matter whether you’re missing one or more teeth, there’s several solutions to choose from – all available at Dental Depot. Whether you know exactly how you’d like to replace a missing tooth or you’d like help deciding which option is best, schedule an appointment and let us help you choose what’s right for you.
Fillings
Fillings are one of the most common forms of restorative dentistry. Even with the best at-home dental care, tooth decay can still occur. When the decayed area is relatively small, a filling can be applied. Fillings treat teeth by removing the decayed matter and refilling the space with one of several options of materials, such as durable glass and plastic to both slow the spread of decay and protect the tooth from further damage.
Crowns and Bridges
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that covers the part of the tooth that's visible above the gum line, to protect it from further damage. Dental Bridges are multiple connected crowns, covering gaps created by missing teeth. Through a process of precision photographic technology, we create patient-specific customized replacements for missing teeth.
Dental Implants
Losing a tooth can throw a wrench into many aspects of both your health and your daily life. Even one lost tooth can lead to ailments such as bone atrophy, altered speech, or simply a drop in self-confidence. Dental Implants are the more robust alternative to dentures or bridges. Often lasting a lifetime, implants anchor themselves below the gum-line, just like your real teeth. This provides support to the rest of your teeth, and fills the gap with a prosthetic that looks and functions just like a real tooth.
Dentures and Partials
Both dentures and partial dentures are common and affordable tooth replacement procedures, especially for patients who are not suitable candidates for dental implants. Whether getting a full set of dentures or partials, Dental Depot customizes dentures to fit your mouth comfortably and seamlessly - restoring both your smile and your lifestyle.
