Restorative Dentistry at Platinum Smiles Family Dentistry

Our restorative dentistry services at Platinum Smiles Family Dentistry aim to enhance and restore your smile by addressing issues related to broken or missing teeth. Our experienced team provides comprehensive dental care, including dental implants and various types of restorative treatments, to improve the function and health of your teeth. Here’s what we offer:

Dental Fillings (Amalgam, Composite)

Dental fillings are used to repair broken teeth and treat cavities. At our dental practice, we offer both composite (tooth-colored) and amalgam (metal) fillings. Composite fillings blend seamlessly with your natural teeth for a more aesthetically pleasing result, while amalgam fillings are durable and ideal for the back teeth. Our dental restorative treatments ensure that your teeth are well-cared for and function effectively.

Inlays and Onlays

Custom-made restorations, such as crowns, bridges, inlays, and onlays, are used to repair damaged or missing teeth. Inlays and onlays restore teeth by covering damaged areas—onlays covering one or more cusps, while inlays fit inside the tooth’s cusp. These types of restorative dentistry solutions enhance the strength and appearance of your teeth, offering long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing results.

Dental Crowns

A broken or weakened tooth is protected and covered by a dental crown. Crowns restore the tooth’s size, shape, and function while enhancing its appearance. They come in various materials, including porcelain, metal, or a combination of both.

Crowns are frequently used in restorative dentistry to support a dental bridge or as a follow-up to root canal surgery. They play a crucial role in replacing damaged teeth, ensuring that your smile remains healthy and functional.

Dental Bridges

By securing a prosthetic tooth (or teeth) to nearby natural teeth or implants, dental bridges replace one or more lost teeth. Bridges improve the appearance of your smile, make chewing and speaking easier, and prevent the remaining teeth from shifting out of position. This restorative solution ensures your dental health is maintained and your smile stays complete and functional.

Root Canal Therapy

The process of root canal therapy repairs infections or injuries affecting a tooth’s pulp. By extracting the damaged pulp, cleaning the root canals, and sealing the tooth, we preserve and restore the health and function of the affected tooth, ensuring it remains healthy and functional. This procedure helps reduce pain and prevent further problems, allowing you to keep your natural tooth replaced effectively.

Tooth Extractions

An extraction may be necessary if a tooth is beyond repair or poses a risk to your oral health. Our staff performs extractions with great care and precision to ensure the process is as comfortable as possible. To maintain healthy teeth and restore your smile, we provide guidance on replacement options and aftercare.

Wisdom Teeth Removal

If your third molars are causing pain, impaction, or other dental issues, you may need to have your wisdom teeth removed. Our general dentists will assess the position of your wisdom teeth and recommend the best course of action for removal to avoid complications and ensure a swift recovery. This procedure is a common restorative practice and helps prevent potential tooth decay and other dental problems. After removal, we can discuss replacement options, such as partial dentures, to maintain the function and appearance of your smile.
