If you have a tooth that aches, or one that is injured, then you could benefit from restorative dentistry. With our custom and lifelike restorations, we can repair teeth and offer results that look natural. In today’s blog, your Richardson, TX, dentist talks about how we repair your smile!
When To See Our Team
When should you see our team for restorative dentistry? If you have pain in a tooth that doesn’t subside after a day or two, this could indicate the potential presence of decay or even an infection. If a tooth is damaged, then you should contact our team right away, as you may need a dental emergency visit and we could repair the tooth. We want to stop discomfort and ensure your smile remains whole and healthy, with results that look natural and blend with your smile.
Dental Fillings
If you have a cavity, then we could offer relief from a toothache and prevent infection with a filling. Instead of metal, we will craft them from composite resin, a metal-free and biocompatible material that bonds with the tooth. We can shade this to blend with the smile too! Placement only takes one visit, too. The same material can be used on a cosmetic bonding procedure to mask common esthetic imperfections too.
Custom Crowns
If you have a more substantial case of tooth decay, or a tooth that is broken or fractured, then we could help with a crown. The restoration covers the visible portion of your tooth, and when possible, we opt for materials that can blend with the smile, such as all-porcelain, zirconia, or porcelain-fused-to-metal. Again, the restoration will be custom-made to ensure a proper fit and an attractive appearance too.
Root Canal Therapy
If a tooth is infected, then you need treatment to not only stop discomfort, but to also prevent your tooth from being lost and infection from spreading to other parts of your smile. With a root canal, we have a safe and gentle method for removing the infected tissues from within the tooth and replacing them with a special filling material. We then cap your tooth with a custom crown, so you can enjoy relief and lifelike results.
Dental Bridges
If you have lost a tooth, then we could discuss replacement with a custom and natural-looking dental bridge, one that can address a single lost tooth or as many as three in a row!
