We offer composite fillings at our office. Composite fillings are made of dental resin, and are ideal for fillings in front teeth that are highly visible. Because composite fillings match the color of your teeth, you’ll be beaming with natural cosmetic results.
Plus, composite fillings also require the removal of less enamel compared to traditional metal amalgam fillings. This means more of your natural tooth structure will be preserved allowing for a stronger, more durable restoration.
Root canal therapy is the best way to restore a tooth that’s become infected. Tooth infections typically happen when a dental injury or an untreated cavity destroys the outer layers of your tooth structure, exposing the dental pulp. Your pulp is full of nerve and blood vessels, and keeps your tooth alive.
Without proper care, an infected tooth will die and can cause serious complications. Root canal therapy is used to open up the tooth, remove infected material, then sanitize and fill the tooth. After this, Dr. Julia will protect it with a filling or crown. This removes the infection, and restores your tooth.
Dental crowns are ideal for repairing severely damaged teeth. They are made to look just like a natural tooth, and are placed over your existing tooth structure after it’s been trimmed to remove damaged material.
Because crowns cover up and protect your tooth, they help prevent further damage and complications. They’re the preferred method of repairing teeth that have been affected by serious decay, or have been broken by dental trauma. Dental crowns are also often used to protect teeth after root canal therapy.
Partial dentures consist of one or more false teeth that are placed into a metal and plastic framework. They clip onto your remaining healthy teeth, and are a fast, affordable way to restore your smile if you’re missing a few of your teeth.
Full dentures are intended to restore your entire smile, and require the removal of any remaining teeth. They fit over your gums and replace the upper and lower arches of your smile. They may be a great option if you’ve lost most or all of your teeth due to tooth decay, gum disease, or an oral injury.
After you’ve had dental implant surgery, Dr. Julia can work with you to create a comfortable, natural-looking implant restoration such as dental crown, dental bridge, or even a set of full-arch implant-supported dentures. With our years of experience and trusted dental lab partners, you’re sure to get great results.
