Dental restorations involve various dental procedures that give your teeth their natural shape, texture, and color. Teeth restoration procedures may be a good option if you have:
Among the teeth restoration procedures Dr. Samad and the experienced dental team at Hertel Family Dentistry off are:
Teeth whitening restores the bright, white color of natural teeth. This procedure gets rid of staining that occurs over time from foods, drinks, or cigarette smoke. Dr. Samad may recommend in-office whitening, at home-treatment, or both depending on how stained your teeth are.
Getting tooth-colored fillings is a standard dental restoration procedure, one that Dr. Samad performs regularly. Porcelain inlays and onlays create fillings that strengthen teeth and make your smile more aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
Another perk of choosing tooth-colored fillings to restore teeth is that the resin used in these fillings contains cavity-fighting fluoride to lessen tooth decay.
Dental bonding helps restore cracked, chipped, or discolored teeth to their natural shape, texture, and color. This procedure involves etching the tooth’s surface, applying a bonding liquid and plastic resin, and sculpting the damaged tooth into a more desirable shape.
Your tooth is then smoothed and polished to perfect its appearance. Bonding may last up to five years, but teeth may require further repair after that time.
If your teeth are loose or missing, Dr. Samad may recommend dental implants. These devices are shaped like screws and surgically placed within your jawbone. After the implants heal, crowns (artificial teeth) are permanently secured to them.
Dental implants also firmly support dental bridges and dentures, which are options if you have more than one missing tooth.
Dr. Samad and the dental team at Hertel Family Dentistry determine if you’re a good candidate for teeth restoration, and which procedure best matches your needs. Dr. Samad:
