What Is Restorative Dentistry?
Restorative dentistry is any dental treatment that focuses on repairing and restoring damaged oral structures. Our dental restorations are designed to look, feel, and function like your natural teeth, giving you a smile that’ll last for years to come. Dr. Panneton uses restorative treatments to fix the following oral issues:
- Chipped, cracked, or fractured teeth
- Decayed, damaged, or worn down teeth
- Infected or abscessed teeth
- Missing teeth
Our Restorative Dentistry Services
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is a fixed, non-removable appliance used to bridge the gap between missing teeth. We offer different types of dental bridges based on your individual needs. At your appointment, we’ll walk you through which restoration is most ideal for you. Dental bridges are highly durable and will last for many years with proper care. However, they’ll need to be replaced or re-cemented later on due to normal wear and tear.
Dental Implants
As the number one restorative treatment, dental implants can replace any number of missing teeth for a fully functional smile. Implants are artificial tooth roots (usually made of titanium) that are surgically placed into the upper or lower jawbone. They’re composed of biocompatible materials to promote healthy stimulation of natural bone growth. Dental implants are durable, fully functional, and naturally beautiful to help achieve a smile that’ll last a lifetime.
Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy is necessary when the nerve of a tooth is affected by decay or infection. The pulp (the living tissue inside the tooth), nerves, bacteria, and any decay are removed to save the tooth from extraction. Dr. Pannenton will fill the affected area with special dental materials, restoring the tooth to full function and eliminating any pain.
Dentures
Dentures are an affordable restorative solution for patients looking to replace any number of missing teeth or an entire arch. Each set of dentures is custom-made from acrylic resin to ensure they look just like your natural teeth. The denture process is quick, easy, and minimally invasive—which means no unnecessary surgery or long recovery period.
Frequently Asked Questions
The duration of your dental restoration treatment depends on multiple factors such as your individual needs and the treatment you choose. For example, root canal therapy can be done in just one appointment, while a dental implant will require multiple appointments.
