Restorative Dentistry

Here’s a look at some of the restorative dentistry procedures we offer:

Tooth-colored Fillings:

Tooth-colored dental fillings are made from a composite resin material designed to deliver seamless results. They are used to repair cavities along with chipped or broken teeth. In the past, composite restorations mainly treated moderate-sized cavities in the front teeth. However, advances in dental technology and the material’s composition make it possible to use tooth-colored fillings to treat any decayed teeth, even the molars.

Here are some of the benefits of tooth-colored fillings:

• They need minimal preparation, preserving more of the natural tooth structure.
• They bond to the tooth structure, fortifying it and lowering the risk of future decay.
• They do not react to temperature changes, reducing the risk of fractures or tooth sensitivity.
• Once in place, they are almost impossible to tell apart from natural tooth enamel.
• The composite material is strong, durable, and biocompatible.

Dental Crowns:

Dental crowns, or caps, are tooth-shaped restorations that cover the visible portions of weak or damaged teeth, restoring their health and function. At Greenville Ave. Dental, we offer the highest quality crown materials, including porcelain, zirconia, and E-max, to deliver superior restorations with exceptional strength, function, and durability.

Here are some reasons you may require a dental crown:

• To repair a tooth with a large cavity and not enough healthy tooth structure remaining to support a tooth-colored filling.
• To cover and protect a tooth with severe acid erosion from acid reflux or drinking acidic beverages, such as sodas.
• To hold together the pieces of a cracked or fractured tooth.
• To repair teeth worn due to heavy grinding and clenching, a condition known as bruxism.
• To protect a tooth after root canal therapy, preventing fracture or damage.
• To restore a missing tooth by covering a dental implant or supporting a dental bridge.
• To make cosmetic modifications in the shape, color, size, length, or overall appearance of a tooth.

Dental Bridges:

Dental bridges are fixed replacement teeth used to restore your smile if you are missing one or more neighboring teeth. They are held securely in place by crowns on existing teeth on either side of the gap. At Greenville Ave. Dental, we offer dental bridges in the same premium and aesthetic materials as our dental crowns for exceptional results.

Here are some of the benefits of dental bridges:

• They restore healthy, functional, and incredibly natural-looking smiles.
• They support your facial structure, maintaining a youthful appearance
• They allow you to chew properly and speak clearly.
• They preserve the space left by one or more missing teeth.
• They stop the surrounding teeth from shifting toward the gap, preventing crooked teeth and problems with the bite.
