Dental Restoration
Tooth enamel is the hardest substance in your body. However, that does not make it 100% indestructible. Sometimes, even with the best dental care, individuals can still experience missing teeth, chipped/cracked teeth, or tooth decay. These problems can affect the way you look and feel about yourself. That’s where dental restoration comes in handy to restore your confidence and correct your problem.
Why You Need Dental Restoration?
Dental restoration helps put the sparkle back in your smile by correcting alignments and bridging gaps in your teeth. If you have lost a tooth, the dental structure around the area might grow and deteriorates. Dental restoration is a long-lasting solution. When you want to avoid gum infections and a broken tooth, dental restoration, dental restoration treatments such as bridges and crowns are perfect for the job.
Areas Of Specialty
When it comes to dental restoration, below are some of the areas that Dr. Alex Rubinov specializes in:
-
Dentures
Dentures provide patients with a dependable solution to treat tooth loss. When it comes to using dentures, it does not matter which tooth or teeth are lost. Modern dental labs can create denture sets based on the exact impression of the mouth.
-
Composite Fillings
Composite fillings are used to cover cavities or when one’s front teeth must be bonded. Composite fillings come in the form of a resin which looks and feel like natural teeth. You may be pleased to know that the average composite fillings can last approximately a decade.
-
Dental Crowns
A cavity can grow so large that it threatens tooth structure. After treating the cavities, some patients want to enhance the look of their teeth, and they choose to crown it. Dental crowns are typically placed in the mouth and will completely encapsulate a tooth. The dentist will apply a special cement to attach them to the tooth.
-
Inlay Restorations
If you are looking for a practical and cosmetic solution to teeth that have been damaged or deteriorated, inlay restorations are a viable option. This treatment remains popular because it does not require a large amount of one’s original tooth structure to be sacrificed. What’s more, it can last for many years.
-
Onlay Restorations
Also identified as partial crowns, onlay restorations are a type of customized filling that is cemented into the patient’s mouth. This treatment is ideal for scenarios where the teeth have become severely defective, as a result of an injury or decay. If you want to achieve a more attractive smile and improve the structural integrity of teeth, you may consider onlay restorations.
-
Dental Bridge Restoration
Tooth loss can affect the way you speak and your bite (occlusion). If you lose more than one tooth, the appearance of your mouth will most likely change as well. That’s why dentists have developed dental bridge restoration. Apart from restoring proper functioning to one’s jaws, teeth, and mouth, it lowers your risk of developing periodontal disease as well.
-
Root Canals
Root canal infection causes one’s gums to swell and become very tender. The individual may also experience recurring pimples on the soft tissue in their mouth, i.e. inner cheeks, gums, etc. Some people make the mistake of postponing treatment and that is a huge mistake. By undergoing a root canal procedure early, you will be able to keep the original tooth, without the nerve tissue and the pulp.
