Feeling self-conscious about your smile can impact your confidence and daily interactions. Fortunately, modern restorative dentistry offers various techniques to help you achieve a healthy, beautiful smile. At Blaisdell Family Dentistry, we specialize in personalized restorative treatments tailored to your unique needs. Here’s an overview of the most effective restorative dentistry techniques:
- Dental Fillings Dental fillings are used to repair cavities and minor tooth decay. Made from composite resin, porcelain, or amalgam, fillings restore the tooth’s function and appearance. Composite resins are particularly popular for their natural look, blending seamlessly with your teeth.
- Crowns Dental crowns, or caps, cover and protect damaged or weakened teeth. Crafted from porcelain, ceramic, or metal, crowns restore the tooth’s shape, size, and strength. They are ideal for teeth with extensive decay or fractures, ensuring durability and a natural appearance.
- Bridges Dental bridges replace one or more missing teeth. Anchored by crowns on adjacent teeth, bridges fill gaps, preventing shifting and bite problems. Modern bridges use materials like porcelain or ceramics for a realistic look and feel, restoring your smile and dental function.
- Dental Implants Dental implants are a long-term solution for missing teeth. A titanium post is surgically placed in the jawbone, acting as a root for a custom-made crown. Implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth, promoting bone health and providing a permanent solution for tooth loss.
- Inlays and Onlays For teeth with moderate decay or damage that is too extensive for a filling but not severe enough for a crown, inlays and onlays are excellent options. Made from porcelain or composite resin, they fit snugly within or over the tooth, preserving more of the natural tooth structure.
- Dentures Dentures are removable appliances for replacing multiple missing teeth. Partial dentures replace a few teeth, while full dentures replace an entire arch. Advances in denture technology ensure a comfortable fit and a natural appearance, allowing you to smile with confidence.
- Composite Bonding Composite bonding repairs chipped, cracked, or discolored teeth using tooth-colored resin. This quick and cost-effective procedure involves applying and sculpting the resin to match your teeth, instantly enhancing your smile’s appearance.
- Veneers Porcelain veneers are thin shells bonded to the front of your teeth, correcting issues like discoloration, gaps, and misalignment. Veneers provide a dramatic transformation, offering a bright, uniform smile with minimal alteration to your natural teeth.
