Restorative dentistry refers to dental work that reinstates the integrity, functionality, and aesthetic form of a tooth that has been impaired by gum disease, tooth decay, or external trauma. Most importantly, restorative treatments help prevent potential future oral health problems. At Tingey Dental in Twin Falls, Idaho, we provide a comprehensive range of restorative treatments to re-establish your oral functions and smile aesthetics.
Restorative dentistry treatments are intended to restore the appearance and function of your teeth. We aim to preserve as much of your healthy tooth structures as conservative and minimally invasive techniques as possible. The tooth that cannot be salvaged is rebuilt or restored using robust and durable tooth-colored materials. This results in substantial, natural-looking tooth restoration. They can help:
Crowns and Bridges
Crowns and bridges are fixed dental devices permanently bonded to your existing teeth and can only be removed by a dental professional. While a crown acts as a tooth cap that rests directly on your affected tooth, a bridge comprises one or more prosthetic teeth that fill in the void created by missing teeth. They are generally anchored on the neighboring teeth of the gap. In addition to strengthening a weakened tooth, a crown can restore its appearance, shape, or alignment. Crowns and bridges can be color-shaded to blend in with your existing natural teeth.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium studs strategically placed in the missing tooth's socket. The inserted implants fuse with the jawbone to form a root-like structure supporting prosthetic tooth replacement. Dental implants deliver a more permanent solution for replacing the missing tooth. They make an excellent option from a functional or aesthetic standpoint. They closely mimic the feel and look of natural teeth, and it is virtually impossible to differentiate an implant-supported restoration from natural teeth. They also re-establish the original functions of your former teeth, like biting and chewing, so you no longer have to avoid your favorite foods.Â
Root Canal Treatment
If you experience intense toothache caused by trauma, severe tooth decay, gum disease, or a damaged tooth, root canal therapy may be an apt solution. The procedure involves removing the diseased dental pulp and sealing it with a filling of crown restorations.
Dentures
Dentures are removable devices that can help restore the function of missing teeth. They can be constructed to suit the individual mouth, comfort, and visual appeal. As they are removable, they can be cleaned quickly and regularly.Â
