Tooth-Colored Fillings
It’s hard to feel confident and happy with yourself when your teeth aren’t in good condition. But there’s really no reason to live with a smile that makes you feel self-conscious about your appearance.
No matter how well you take care of your teeth, cavities and tooth decay can develop over time for various reasons. Damaged teeth and untreated decay can affect your overall oral health, making early treatment essential to protect your natural teeth. In fact, one of the most common restorative services we perform at our Columbia, MD dental office is fillings.
Inlays and Onlays
An inlay or onlay is a partial crown dental restoration that can be placed when there is not sufficient tooth structure to support a filling but enough tooth structure left that a full crown is not needed. Inlays/onlays are made of porcelain or gold, and they aesthetically and functionally replace the missing tooth structure, designed to feel natural and restore proper chewing function.
Dental Crowns
We have plenty of ways to enhance and restore your smile, no matter what dental problem you’re facing. If a tooth is too severely damaged or decayed to treat with a dental filling – including broken teeth – we may recommend that a porcelain crown be placed to protect and preserve the tooth. Dental crowns help restore both the appearance and chewing function of healthy teeth and can also protect other teeth from the impact of a damaged or weakened tooth.
Dental Bridges
A bridge can replace missing or damaged teeth without the use of a denture or dental implant. A bridge is composed of two crowns and a replacement tooth or teeth. Crowns are typically placed on the adjacent teeth on either side of the space, with the fabricated tooth or teeth attached in between. Tooth loss can impact your ability to chew and affect your overall oral health, and a bridge offers a reliable restorative care solution.
For multiple missing teeth, an implant may be used to anchor the bridge.
Dental Implant Restorations
Lifestyle changes and advances in medicine now allow patients to live longer than ever, and dental advances help many of us keep our natural teeth and smiles for a lifetime. However, in some cases, our teeth just can't hold up to decades of tooth damage from wear and tear. Dental implants in are the best solution when it comes to keeping your smile intact for life.
Dentures
A denture is a replacement for multiple missing teeth within the same (upper or lower) arch. A denture differs from a crown or bridge in that it does not rely on an existing tooth structure, and it completely replaces the missing teeth.
There are several different types of dentures:
- Full and Partial Dentures
- Removable or Fixed
- Traditional or Implant-Supported
