Devoting enough time to tooth care is difficult and sometimes we don't meet our expected regimen. This can lead to cavities and major tooth damage. Restorative dentistry focuses on restoring your teeth to their working order.
Like preventive dentistry, restorative dentistry is usually covered by insurance. Learn more about our procedures below:
We can restore teeth that have seen significant damage due to decay or trauma using dental crowns. Dental crowns are a permanent cap that is made to look like and function as the new crown of your tooth. Dental crowns, like most dental restorations, can be crafted out of a variety of materials to accomplish a wide range of goals.
Dental implants are replacement tooth roots that are designed to serve as a sturdy foundation for a removable or permanent prosthesis; custom made to perfectly match existing teeth. Dental implants offer a tooth replacement option for patients that restores the patient’s mouth function – including chewing, speaking and eating.
Dentures are a "replacement" option for missing teeth. There are two variations of dentures: partial dentures and full dentures. The difference between the two lies in how many natural teeth remain.
Dental bridges are used to quite literally bridge the gap between existing natural teeth where the patient has experienced tooth loss. They can either be permanent or removable and offer a tooth replacement option that offers an aesthetically pleasing and functional results for the patient.
Whether cavities are something you have to deal with often or not, when they do become an issue we have the ability and experience to bring your teeth back to a pristine condition with dental fillings.
Cavities are usually treated with either amalgam or composite resin fillings. While these fillings are generally successful, cavities in the chewing surfaces of your molars can present unique problems. Nicholas Dose, DMD can treat these cavities with inlays and onlays.
Root canal therapy is a term used to describe the procedure of removing the two inner layers of the tooth. The outermost layer of a tooth is the enamel. Enamel is extremely hard and white in color. It is the first line of protection our teeth have against decay and injury.
Sleep deprivation is a real condition that affects a huge majority of the population. Sometimes it is caused by stress, inconsistent scheduling, or in the case of patients who have "always had trouble sleeping" they may be suffering from an undiagnosed sleep disorder.
