Restorative Dentistry at Concord Dental

Fillings are a common restorative procedure used to treat cavities and repair minor tooth damage. At Concord Dental, we use both composite (tooth-colored) and amalgam (silver) fillings, depending on your specific needs and preferences. Composite fillings are particularly popular for their ability to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing an aesthetically pleasing result.

The procedure for getting a filling involves removing the decayed portion of the tooth, cleaning the affected area, and then filling the cavity with the chosen material. This not only restores the tooth’s functionality but also prevents further decay. Our dentists ensure that the fillings are precisely shaped and polished for a comfortable bite and natural appearance.

Crowns and bridges are restorative solutions designed to replace missing or damaged teeth, restoring both function and appearance. A crown, also known as a cap, is a custom-made covering that fits over a damaged tooth, protecting it and improving its appearance. Crowns are often used after root canal therapy, to restore a broken tooth, or to cover a dental implant.

Bridges, on the other hand, are used to replace one or more missing teeth. A bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth anchored by crowns on adjacent natural teeth or implants. At Concord Dental, we use high-quality materials such as porcelain and ceramic to create crowns and bridges that match the color and translucency of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless and durable restoration.

The process of getting veneers involves removing a small amount of enamel from the affected teeth, taking impressions, and then bonding the custom-made veneers to your teeth. The result is a durable, natural-looking smile that can last for many years with proper care. Veneers are an excellent option for achieving a dramatic transformation with minimal dental work.

Root canal therapy is a crucial procedure for saving teeth that are severely infected or decayed. During this treatment, the infected pulp inside the tooth is removed, and the interior of the tooth is cleaned and sealed. This prevents the spread of infection and restores the tooth’s health and function.

The procedure involves several steps: accessing the infected pulp, removing the damaged tissue, cleaning and disinfecting the root canals, and then filling and sealing the space. Finally, a crown is usually placed on the tooth to protect it and restore its strength. Root canal therapy can relieve pain, prevent tooth loss, and eliminate the need for more extensive dental work.

Dentures are removable prosthetic devices that replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. At Concord Dental, we offer both full and partial dentures to meet the needs of our patients. Full dentures are used when all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw are missing, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain.

Our dentures are custom-made to ensure a comfortable fit and natural appearance. We use high-quality materials to create durable and aesthetically pleasing dentures that restore your ability to speak and chew properly. Partial dentures also help maintain the alignment of remaining teeth by preventing them from shifting.

Dental implants are a modern and effective solution for replacing missing teeth. An implant consists of a titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as a root for a replacement tooth. Once the implant integrates with the bone, a crown is attached to the post, providing a stable and natural-looking tooth replacement.

Dental implants offer several advantages over other restorative options. They look and function like natural teeth, provide a permanent solution to tooth loss, and help preserve the jawbone by preventing bone resorption. At Concord Dental, our team has extensive experience in implant dentistry, ensuring precise placement and optimal results for our patients.
