Restorative Dentistry Services at Elevated Dental
We offer restorative dentistry services for the benefit of our patients and their families. The following are some of the services we focus on and how they help.
Dental Fillings
When teeth succumb to decay that creates a hole in the tooth, a dental filling will be used to fill in the hole once the decay is cleaned away. Decay can result in cavities or other forms of damage to the teeth, including a tooth root. Having regular dental checkups can catch decay early before it spreads. Today’s dental fillings are made of composite and other natural materials to match your natural tooth, so you are the only one who knows it’s there.
Inlays and Onlays
When decay takes over a tooth, the damage may cover too large an area for a dental filling. In this case, an inlay or onlay may be used to repair the structure of your tooth. An inlay may be created using either composite or porcelain, and moulded to fit into the chewing surface of a damaged tooth to strengthen it. Onlays are similar, but cover more area and may fit into the cusps of a tooth as well as the chewing surface. These solutions are often used to save a tooth and the root while strengthening it at the same time.
Dental Crowns
Sometimes teeth may become damaged to the point that fillings, inlays, and onlays are not enough to restore it. But a dental crown can be created to match the shape and colour of your natural tooth, and placed over what it left to protect it.
When damage and decay find their way deep into a tooth, it can affect the root as well as damage a large portion of the tooth. In this case, a root canal may be done to clean out the infection and then a crown will be placed over the tooth, which protects the root and saves the tooth at the same time. This is a preferred solution over pulling the tooth, because saving the tooth saves your jawbone from deteriorating.
Dental Bridge
When one or more teeth are missing, a dental bridge may be the right solution to replace them. Dental bridges are a series of crowns used to replace the missing tooth or teeth, and then crowns at each end to anchor the prosthetic. They are a long-term solution to fix missing teeth and are more cost-effective than dental implants.
