Our Restorative Dentistry Services
Elite Dental of Highland offers a full suite of restorative dentistry procedures to meet your needs. We follow a customized treatment plan to help you meet your smile goals.
Crowns and Bridges
A crown is a tailor-made cap that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its shape, size, and strength. Crowns are perfect for teeth with extensive decay or after root canal therapy. A bridge is used to “bridge the gap” created by one or more missing teeth. It consists of artificial teeth anchored to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants, restoring your bite and smile.
Dental Implants
Restorative dental implants are our go-to for replacing one or more missing teeth. A titanium post is surgically placed in the jawbone, acting as a new root. The post securely holds a custom-made crown, offering a permanent, stable, and natural-looking solution that feels and functions like a real tooth.
Dentures and Partials
When all teeth are missing in an arch, full dentures provide a removable replacement, restoring your ability to eat and speak. If you still have some healthy natural teeth, a partial denture can fill the gaps, prevent other teeth from shifting, and improve the function of your smile.
Fillings and Bonding
Tooth-colored composite fillings repair cavities caused by decay. The natural-looking fillings blend seamlessly with your teeth, providing a durable and aesthetically pleasing restoration. Inlays and onlays are also available for larger areas of decay. Dental bonding is a cosmetic and restorative process that uses composite resin to repair minor chips, cracks, and gaps in teeth.
Root Canal Therapy
When a tooth’s inner pulp becomes infected, root canal therapy can save it from extraction. We remove the infected tissue, clean the inside of the tooth, and seal it to prevent reinfection. The tooth is then typically protected with a crown, restoring its full function.
Advanced Restoration Options
Our office has the latest technology to handle even complex cases. Whether you need a full-mouth reconstruction or a combination of basic restorative dentistry procedures, we have the expertise to rebuild your smile.
The Restorative Dentistry Process
Your journey to a restored smile is a collaborative process tailored to your specific needs. Our restorative dentistry process includes:
- Initial Consultation and Diagnosis: Your first visit involves a thorough examination, including digital X-rays, to assess your oral health.
- Custom Treatment Plan: We will develop a personalized treatment plan outlining the recommended restorative dentistry procedures, timeline, and costs.
- Final Restoration and Follow-Up Care: After your treatment is complete, we provide guidance on how to care for your restored smile and schedule follow-up appointments.
