We Can Counteract Dental Damage with Restorative Dentistry
Do you have a broken tooth in need of a crown? Or a cavity in need of a dental filling? Perhaps you’re missing some teeth and need to have them replaced. All of these procedures fall under the category of restorative dentistry, and they play a vital role in helping you achieve the ultimate in healthy smiles. While our focus is on family dentistry for preventing oral health problems, natural wear and tear may still cause decay and damage. When this happens, you can count on restorative care from Mt. Pleasant restorative dentist Dr. Kevin Hogan to get your teeth and gums back into shape.
Two of our most popular restorative dentistry services include composite tooth-colored fillings and porcelain crowns. With both, we can restore your teeth and your smile’s natural appearance. In the case of tooth-colored fillings, we can shade your fillings to exactly match your smile’s natural appearance. But that’s not the only way tooth-colored fillings can benefit your smile. You’ll be happy to know that our tooth-colored fillings are mercury-free, so you won’t have this highly toxic material in your mouth and system. What’s more, tooth-colored fillings will also support your tooth’s remaining structure, letting you keep more of your natural smile intact.
With porcelain crown, meanwhile, we can help patients restore a tooth that’s cracked, broken, decayed, or worn by capping it with a tooth-colored restoration, returning its structure, strength, and function as a result. What’s more, with a porcelain crown, Dr. Hogan can protect a tooth from further damage and preserve the jaw’s correct natural alignment. And like our tooth-colored fillings, our porcelain crowns are shaded to match the appearance of your smile, ensuring that your restoration looks completely natural.
Tooth-colored fillings and porcelain crowns are just two of your Mt. Pleasant restorative dentistry options. Maybe you’ve lost one or more teeth to decay, damage, injury, or trauma. Should you be missing one, two, several, or all of your teeth, our Mt. Pleasant dental office offers other great restorative dentistry procedures, like fixed bridges, dentures and partials, and dental implant restorations. And if your damage has been extensive, we can completely rebuild your mouth with full-mouth reconstruction.
To learn more about how full-mouth reconstruction can help you restore the health, functionality, and appearance of your smile, visit our full-mouth reconstruction page here. We’d also like to invite patients who are considering a restorative service to schedule a consultation visit with us today. Not every restorative option is right for every patient. Determining the service that will work best for you will require a thorough oral exam, accompanied by X-rays and possibly photographs. But once we’ve collected all the information we need, we can beginning putting together a plan that will help you restore your smile.
