Welcome to Irving Park Family & Cosmetic Dentistry’s comprehensive guide to our restorative dentistry services. We focus on bringing back the health and beauty of your smile. Restorative dentistry is all about repairing and replacing damaged or missing teeth. Whether you have a cavity, a cracked tooth, or need a full set of new teeth, restorative dentistry can help. Our goal is to ensure that your teeth look great and work properly so you can smile with confidence.
Our Restorative Dentistry Services
At our Greensboro, NC, dental practice, we offer a wide range of dental services to meet your needs. Our experienced team is dedicated to providing personalized care to help you achieve a healthy and beautiful smile. Here are some of the services we offer:
Dental Bridge
A dental bridge is a great solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. It literally “bridges” the gap created by missing teeth. A bridge is made up of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap and a false tooth or teeth in between.
These false teeth can be made from gold, alloys, porcelain, or a combination of these materials. Dental bridges help restore your smile, improve your ability to chew and speak, and maintain the shape of your face.
Dental Crown
A dental crown is like a cap that is placed over a damaged tooth. It is used to restore the tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are often needed when a large cavity threatens the health of a tooth.
They can also be used to protect a weak tooth from breaking or to hold together parts of a cracked tooth. Crowns are made from various materials, including metal, porcelain, and ceramic, and are designed to look just like your natural teeth.
Dentures & Partials
Dentures are removable appliances that can replace missing teeth and help restore your smile. If you’ve lost all of your natural teeth, whether from gum disease, tooth decay, or injury, replacing missing teeth will benefit your appearance and your health. Dentures make it easier to eat and speak better than you could without teeth.
There are two main types of dentures: full and partial. Full dentures are used when all the teeth are missing, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a popular and effective way to replace missing teeth. They are designed to blend in with your other teeth and are an excellent long-term option for restoring your smile. The implants are made of titanium and other materials that are compatible with the human body.
They are surgically placed in the upper or lower jaw, where they function as a sturdy anchor for replacement teeth. Dental implants can help prevent bone loss, maintain facial structure, and provide a natural-looking smile.
TMJ Treatment
TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders can cause pain and discomfort in the jaw joint and muscles that control jaw movement. Our TMJ treatment focuses on relieving pain and improving the function of the jaw. Treatment options may include medication, physical therapy, or a custom-made splint or mouthguard.
In some cases, surgery may be necessary. Our team will work with you to determine the best treatment plan for your specific needs.
Periodontal Disease Treatment
Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is an infection of the tissues that hold your teeth in place. It is often caused by poor brushing and flossing habits that allow plaque to build up on the teeth and harden. In advanced stages, periodontal disease can lead to sore, bleeding gums, painful chewing problems, and even tooth loss. Our periodontal disease treatment includes deep cleaning, medication, and sometimes surgery to restore the health of your gums and teeth.
