Why would you need therapeutic dentistry?
Your teeth are designed to last for life, but that’s usually not the case. Injuries, decay, genetics, neglect, and disease are some factors that can shorten the lifespan of your teeth. The good news is that a restorative dentist can rebuild your smile, regardless of its state.
Wondering whether you need restorative dentistry? Here are some dental issues that indicate you need to see a restorative dentist.
- Tooth decay
- Cracked, fractured, or broken teeth
- A bad bite
- Gum disease
- Jawbone loss
- Misaligned teeth
Restorative dental care aims to restore your smile to its healthy state. This dentistry repairs damaged teeth and replaces missing ones to restore your smile’s function, health, and aesthetics. Restoring your teeth also keeps the remaining teeth in proper alignment to maintain a healthy bite.Â
What restorative services are available in our office?
Our office is well-equipped to handle almost any dental problem, from minor to severe. These are the common restorative treatments at our office.
- Composite fillings: A dental cavity forms when bacteria toxins in your mouth erode your enamel, creating tiny holes. If left untreated, a cavity grows bigger and could cause tooth loss. We treat cavities with composite fillings, allowing us to restore your tooth and prevent the damage from progressing. Composite fillings are colored like natural teeth for life-like results.
- Dental crowns: Do you have significant tooth decay or damage? A dental crown envelopes your entire tooth to enhance its structure and health. Dr. Biggio uses dental crowns to repair damaged teeth, replace missing teeth, and beautify aesthetically unappealing teeth.Â
- Dental inlays and onlays: Also known as indirect fillings, dental onlays and inlays repair tooth damage that is too significant for a filling but too small for a dental crown. Our indirect fillings are created from ceramics, which match your natural teeth for an authentic appearance.Â
- Root canal therapy: We treat infected or damaged teeth with gentle and safe root canals. A root canal treats your tooth by removing the diseased tissues and restoring it with a porcelain dental crown.Â
- Teeth replacements: Are you missing one or more teeth? We offer plenty of teeth replacement options to rebuild your smile after tooth loss. Our options include bridges that span a gap between two healthy teeth or implants. Additionally, we offer partial and complete dentures as a conservative and effective solution for missing teeth. Finally, our dental implants present a permanent solution for missing teeth, whether you have lost one or multiple teeth.Â
TMD treatment: Have you heard enough of TMJ-related headaches, jaw pain, and painful chewing? We offer oral appliance therapy, jaw rehabilitation exercises, and lifestyle counseling to manage TMJ pain.
