Our Digital Impression Technology
We are proud to use state-of-the-art digital impression technology, which allows us to take highly accurate 3D images of your teeth without the need for messy, uncomfortable molds. Digital impressions offer several advantages over traditional methods:
- Precision: Digital impressions provide highly accurate models, leading to better-fitting restorations.
- Comfort: No more uncomfortable, gag-inducing impression trays—just quick, easy scanning.
- Faster turnaround: Digital technology speeds up the entire process, allowing you to receive your restorations sooner.
The Goals & Benefits Of Restorative Dentistry
Restorative dentistry goes beyond just fixing your teeth—it’s about giving you a smile that functions as well as it looks. Here are the key goals and benefits of restorative treatments:
- Restored functionality: Treatments help you chew, speak, and enjoy your favorite foods without discomfort.
- Improved aesthetics: Restorations are designed to blend with your natural teeth, enhancing your overall appearance.
- Prevention of further damage: By addressing decay and damage early, you prevent more serious issues like tooth loss or infection.
- Boosted confidence: A healthy, restored smile can greatly improve your self-esteem and quality of life.
Fillings
Dental fillings are used to repair cavities and restore the tooth’s natural structure. We use tooth-colored composite fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution. The benefits of composite fillings include:
- Natural appearance: Composite material matches the color of your teeth for a virtually invisible restoration.
- Durability: These fillings are strong and built to last, protecting your teeth from further decay.
- Conservative treatment: Only minimal tooth structure is removed, preserving more of your natural tooth.
Crowns
A crown is a custom-made restoration that covers a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its size, shape, and function. Whether you need a crown for a cracked tooth or after a root canal, we ensure that your crown fits perfectly and matches the color of your natural teeth. Benefits of crowns include:
- Protection: Crowns safeguard your tooth from further damage or decay.
- Restored strength: They reinforce weakened teeth, allowing you to chew and bite comfortably.
- Aesthetic appeal: Crowns are made to look like natural teeth, restoring your smile’s appearance.
Bridges
A dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to surrounding teeth or dental implants. Bridges fill the gaps in your smile and prevent remaining teeth from shifting out of alignment. The benefits of bridges include:
- Restored oral function: You’ll be able to chew, speak, and smile confidently again.
- Prevention of shifting teeth: Bridges keep adjacent teeth in place, maintaining proper alignment.
- Natural-looking solution: Bridges are designed to match your existing teeth for a seamless appearance.
Dentures
Dentures are a full-arch solution for patients who have lost all of their teeth on the upper or lower jaw. These removable prosthetics are custom-made to restore your smile and improve functionality. Dentures provide:
- Improved oral function: Allows you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
- Facial support: Helps maintain facial structure and prevents a sunken appearance.
- Customized fit: Designed for comfort and stability, ensuring a secure fit.
Partials
Partial dentures are ideal for patients who still have some healthy, natural teeth but need to replace several missing teeth. These removable appliances fill in the gaps, restoring both appearance and function. Benefits of partials include:
- Preservation of remaining teeth: Partials prevent your remaining teeth from shifting out of place.
- Natural-looking results: Designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth for a complete smile.
- Removable convenience: Partials are easy to remove for cleaning and maintenance.
Implant Restorations
Dental implants are a permanent solution for replacing missing teeth. After the implant post is surgically placed into your jawbone, we complete the process by attaching a custom crown, bridge, or denture to the implant. Benefits of implant restorations include:
- Long-term durability: Dental implants are a stable, permanent replacement for missing teeth.
- Natural look and feel: Implant restorations are designed to mimic the appearance and function of natural teeth.
- Promotes oral health: Implants help preserve bone structure and prevent further tooth loss.
