Besides dental implants, veneers, crowns, and bridges
discussed on this page, other restorative dental treatments include:
Bonding
Bonding is the use of composite resins to "glue" materials to the surface of a tooth for restorative purposes.
- Repair decayed teeth (composite resins are used to fill cavities)
- Repairs chipped or cracked teeth
- Improves the appearance of discolored teeth
- Close spaces between teeth
An enamel-like composite material is adhered to the surface of a tooth and sculpted into shape and polished, making the chip or crack invisible.
Fillings
When small tooth fractures or tooth decay occur, fillings are most often used to repair the surfaces of your teeth. Routine cleanings and dental exams often identify cracks or decay in a tooth that can then be remedied with a filling. Our dentists will remove the decayed portion of your tooth and fill it with another substance.
Prosthodontics
Prosthodontics is the dental specialty of restoring a patient’s oral function and rebuilding a patient’s smile through the use of dental implants, bridgework, dentures, and crowns. Joint problems, implants, and cosmetic dentistry all fall into the field of prosthodontics.
