When you or your child injures a tooth during the summer, or if one begins to ache due to cavities or infections, then treatment is needed. With restorative dentistry, our team can repair smiles and ensure lifelike results too! In today’s blog, your team at Viva Dental Family Dentistry talks about helping smiles in Dallas, TX, with restorative dentistry.
When You Need a Restoration
When you or a family member injures a tooth, repair is needed, even if the chip appears very minor. Even minor injuries could expose interior structures of the tooth, allowing cavities and infection to take hold. Likewise, if a tooth is aching, this could mean the presence of a cavity or even the early stages of infection, and we can help with a restoration. Our team takes time to ensure the placement process is comfortable, and that you receive a completed restoration that looks natural, fits comfortably, and last for years to come. We want to protect your smile!
Fillings
Tooth decay is a widespread issue that forms in smiles of all ages. Even babies and toddlers could develop cavities! Treatment is needed despite age, because otherwise the decay could turn into an infection, creating severe discomfort and risking the premature loss of a tooth. But with a composite resin dental filling, we have a way to treat the cavity in one visit, and provide results that look natural as well. These results can blend with the rest of the smile and the biocompatible nature of the filling means it is ready to last for years to come.
We also use the same material in our bonding procedures, allowing us to mask cosmetic imperfections and minor injuries in only one sitting.
Crowns
We are also ready to take on more severe damage or decay with a lifelike crown, one crafted from strong and durable materials like porcelain, porcelain-fused-to-metal, and zirconia. We can repair teeth, improve bite balance and chewing function for kids, and even aid in tooth replacement, as these can support bridges or restore single tooth dental implants. If a tooth is infected, we could conduct a root canal and cap the tooth with a crown, so you don’t risk tooth loss.
Dental Prosthetics
What if a tooth is lost, whether due to injury or poor oral health? If this happens, we could discuss prosthetic dentistry to replace the tooth. We could reserve a bridge for minor cases, discuss dentures for more severe cases of tooth loss, and even look at dental implants, which look and function like natural teeth.
