Dental Restorations
Is a broken or damaged tooth affecting your smile and everyday activities, like eating? Restorative dentistry services can help bring your tooth back to its usual ability to function, easing discomfort and enhancing its appearance. At Jason C. Croft, D.M.D., we offer dental restorations in Gainesville, GA, to help treat tooth problems, from missing teeth to tooth infections.
What Do Dental Restorations Help With?
These types of dental treatments restore a tooth’s function and appearance, correcting problems such as:
- Tooth infections
- Tooth decay
- Broken or cracked teeth
- Worn or eroded teeth
- Missing teeth
What Can Restorative Dentistry Do for You?
Do you have ongoing tooth pain? Or is a tooth’s damaged appearance making you self-conscious? Dental restorations can relieve pain and make your teeth look whole and natural again for an improved smile. Other reasons to consider these services include the following:
- Lower the risk of tooth loss
- Replace older restorations or treatments
- Restore chewing and speaking abilities
- Reduce the risk of infections and advanced decay
Root Canal Therapy
Is an infection affecting the pulp inside your tooth? This can cause severe pain and lead to more serious issues. Root canal therapy involves entering the pulp, removing infected tissue, cleaning out the area, and filling it. We also usually place a crown on the tooth to guard against damage and infections.
Composite Fillings
Do you have a tooth with fractures or decay? A composite filling helps restore it after we remove the decayed tissue. This material is designed to resemble your natural tooth, allowing it to blend in with it for a natural look. This is ideal when the affected tooth is in a visible area rather than in the back of your mouth.
Dental Crowns
These are among the more common types of dental restorations our patients get. Crowns are caps that we place on teeth to help them function normally and restore their appearance. You might need a crown after a root canal or when you have a tooth that’s decayed or damaged. This simple process involves preparing your tooth, removing damaged parts, and placing the crown on it.
Full and Partial Dentures
Are several teeth missing? Wearing partial or full dentures helps you get a new set of teeth again. These artificial teeth can replace an entire upper or lower arch or a few teeth. Both types of dentures can be removed so you can clean them. Dentures help restore your facial appearance, too, if it has a sunken look from missing teeth.
Dental Bridges
Exploring ways to replace a tooth? Dental bridges are structures made for this purpose. Bridges can attach to crowns on either side of an artificial tooth or just one tooth as needed. This restoration helps prevent adjacent teeth from moving out of position to fill in a gap and allows you to chew and talk more easily.
How to Know Which Restoration You Need?
The type that works best for you is going to depend on a few factors, like your tooth’s condition or the number of teeth that are affected. Our dentist can determine the right treatment approach to restore your teeth.
