Your teeth are yours for life and you ask a lot of them. Even with the best dental care and oral hygiene routine your teeth may need to be repaired or even replaced. Not repairing or replacing damaged or missing teeth can lead to significant damage down the road affecting many aspects of your oral health. Restorative dentistry ensures your mouth retains the proper structure, function and appearance.
Tooth-colored or composite fillings repair the damage done to a tooth by a cavity and restore it to its natural look and function. Tooth-colored fillings have largely replaced the amalgam fillings of previous years and they are aesthetically pleasing, durable and require less tooth structure removal. Cosmetically, dental bonding uses tooth-colored filling material to improve the appearance of front teeth.
Ceramic crowns can be used to replace damaged or missing teeth, more specifically, for badly decayed teeth with cavities too large to fill. Ceramic crowns are tooth-colored and fit over an existing tooth or onto an implant, looking and functioning like a natural tooth.
Dental implants are a permanent solution to tooth loss in which small titanium screws are inserted into the jawbone where teeth are missing to serve as artificial tooth roots. A ceramic crown or denture is attached to the implant, restoring function and improving the appearance of your smile.
Sometimes tooth decay or gum disease can become unmanageable, leading to the decision to remove some or all of your remaining teeth. Partial and complete dentures are removable dental prostheses used to replace missing teeth. Full dentures are used when a person is missing all their natural teeth, while partial dentures are used when only a few natural teeth remain. An evaluation with Dr. Campbell or Dr. Sparks can help determine if partial or complete dentures are your best solution.
