Restorative Dental Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a popular, long-lasting way to replace missing teeth. They involve placing a titanium post into the jawbone, which acts like a root for a new tooth. Dr. Flax offers options like “Teeth in a Day,” a solution that allows patients to get a new smile in a single visit.
Implants feel natural, look real, and let you chew and speak with ease. To learn more about our dental implant services, see Dental implants.
Dentures and partials
Dentures and partials are removable replacements for missing teeth. There are two main types we offer:
- Partial dentures are for when you’re missing a few teeth.
- Complete dentures are for when all teeth are missing.
Dentures bring back both the look and function of your smile, giving you comfort and ease.
Dental Fillings
Dental fillings are a common treatment for fixing cavities or minor tooth damage. Dr. Flax uses tooth-colored fillings, which blend in with your teeth, creating a natural look without silver or gold. This option helps keep your teeth healthy and maintains the look of your smile.
Root Canal Therapy
A root canal can save a tooth that’s deeply infected or decayed. In this process, the dentist removes the damaged pulp inside the tooth, cleans it out, and then seals it to prevent future infections. Root canals keep the tooth intact, sparing you from extraction and keeping your smile complete.
Bite Relaxation Therapy
Sometimes, a misaligned bite can cause discomfort and wear on your teeth. Bite relaxation therapy, also called occlusal adjustment, focuses on balancing how your teeth fit together. Dr. Flax examines your bite, then adjusts your teeth slightly to reduce any stress on them and relieve pressure on your jaw. This can ease tension and discomfort, making your mouth feel more comfortable.
Full Mouth Reconstruction
For those needing a full makeover, a full mouth reconstruction is a comprehensive treatment that addresses multiple dental issues. Dr. Flax may use a mix of treatments—like dental crowns, implants, bridges, or veneers—to repair or replace all teeth in the upper and lower jaws. This approach is ideal for people with many damaged or missing teeth. Full mouth reconstruction restores your oral health and gives you a strong, lasting smile.
Dental Crown
Dental crowns are covers placed over damaged teeth to restore their shape, size, and strength. Crowns protect the tooth from further damage while also improving its look. This makes them a great choice for broken or decayed teeth, helping them blend seamlessly with the rest of your smile.
Dental Bridge
Dental bridges A dental bridge fills the gap left by a missing tooth. It connects an artificial tooth to the natural teeth next to it, allowing you to chew and speak without issues. Bridges also keep your face’s natural shape, preventing shifting of nearby teeth.
TMJ Treatment
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) issues can cause pain in the jaw and limit jaw movement. Our TMJ treatment options can reduce pain and bring back normal jaw function. Treatments may include bite guards, therapy, or medication to ease discomfort and restore comfort.
Gum Disease Treatment
Gum disease can lead to tooth loss if untreated. Our gum disease treatments focus on removing the infection and restoring healthy gums. We may use deep cleanings, medication, or surgery to treat your gums, helping you maintain good oral health and prevent further issues.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Restorative Dentistry Painful?
Most restorative dental treatments are done with local anesthesia, so you shouldn’t feel any pain during the procedure. Some mild discomfort or sensitivity afterward is normal but usually fades quickly. Your dentist will give you tips on managing any soreness, which might include pain relievers and an aftercare plan.
Are Dental Restorations Noticeable?
No, modern restorations are designed to blend right in with your natural teeth. Crowns, bridges, and implants are customized to match the color, shape, and size of your teeth, so they look very natural.
How Much Does Restorative Dentistry Cost?
The cost of restorative dentistry depends on a few factors, including:
- Where the restoration is in your mouth
- Your dental insurance coverage
- Any extra treatments needed
- The number of restorations required
- Financing options offered by your dentist
Your dentist can give you an estimate based on your specific needs.
Is Restorative Dentistry Permanent?
Restorations like implants, crowns, bridges, and dentures are made to be strong and last a long time, but they may not be as permanent as your natural teeth. How long they last depends on how well you care for your teeth, keep up with check-ups, and manage your overall oral health.
