When a smile needs repair, we can help. With restorative dentistry, our team can repair cavities, address damage, and even take on tooth loss. In today’s blog, your team at Cedar West Dental talks about helping patients in Richfield, MN, with custom dental restorations.
The Signs You Need Restorative Dentistry
When do you need to see our team for restorative dentistry? We may recommend treatment when you have injured a tooth, as even a minor chip or crack could risk the onset of tooth decay or infection. Likewise, if your tooth begins to hurt and the pain and sensitivity persists for a day or two, then you should see us. This persistent pain could indicate the presence of a cavity or possibly infection, and care is needed to prevent tooth loss. Speaking of, when you lose a tooth, whether due to injury or poor oral health, we can tackle the issue with restorative dentistry! Contact our team and we will examine your smile to see which solution is right for you.
Dental Fillings
If you have a cavity, we can help with restorative dentistry in only one visit. With a filling, we will remove decay and apply a special composite resin to the tooth in several layers. We will sculpt and mold the tooth to ensure proper bite balance and appearance. The material is also shaded to blend with the tooth! The last step is to polish the tooth for a bright appearance.
Custom Crowns
Our team can also help smiles with a custom crown. Using restorative dentistry, we can design and craft a custom crown that caps a tooth, taking on decay too severe for a filling, and also offering repair for chipped or cracked teeth. Crowns can also help boost bite balance and chewing function too. We use lifelike materials, such as porcelain, zirconia, and porcelain-fused-to-metal so you can feel proud to show off your newly restored smile!
Dental Bridges
If you have missing teeth, such as one lost tooth or even up to three in a row, we could help with a dental bridge. The prosthetic contains new teeth with crowns on each end, all made from durable and lifelike ceramic. We then attach the crowns to the teeth on each side of the gap, supporting your new teeth firmly in place for years to come!
Full and Partial Dentures
If you have more severe tooth loss, then we can help with dentures. For complicated cases in which you have several gaps across your smile, we can create and secure a partial denture. For total tooth loss, we can offer a lifelike full denture!
