When you have a chipped, cracked, or broken tooth, or if you have a painful tooth decay or dental infection, then you need to see our team. With advanced dentistry, we can provide solutions that blend with your smile. In today’s blog, your Lake Orion, MI, dentist talks about how we repair teeth with advanced dentistry.
Your Initial Advanced Consultation
When you have concerns with your teeth, such as painful aches or sensitivity, or if they have become damaged, then we want to see you for treatment using advanced dentistry. Our team will talk to you about the circumstances of your discomfort and your symptoms. We will then examine your smile with digital x-rays and intraoral cameras, gathering detailed and high-definition images that allow us to make a diagnosis with precision and accuracy. From there, the next step is to choose the right treatment option to bring relief!
Dental Fillings
If our examination discovers a cavity, then we can offer treatment with a dental filling. The restoration will be made from lifelike composite resin, which is a metal-free selection great for patients of all ages. This can be shaded to blend with your smile, and is biocompatible, bonding with the tooth. Our team will numb the tooth, remove the decay, and apply the composite resin in several layers. We then sculpt and mold the tooth for a balanced bite, and polish it for a brighter appearance. In one visit, we can tackle tooth decay and offer relief.
Our Custom Crowns
In the event that you need more than a filling or bonding procedure, our team could offer relief with a dental crown. With the CEREC system, we can create and place them in only one visit! The restoration is designed to fit over your tooth, allowing us to address severe cavities and more substantial injuries and fractures in a tooth. In addition, we could complete treatment for an infected tooth! Our team uses all-porcelain for the front facing teeth, as this is the most lifelike option. Since your side and rear teeth need to handle more pressure and harder bite forces, we could use zirconia or porcelain-fused-to-metal, which are stronger but can also be shaded to offer a more lifelike appearance.
Dental Bridges
We can even aid in the treatment of missing teeth with our advanced treatment options! Foer example, we can replace a lost tooth, or as many as three to four in a row, with our dental bridges. This prosthetic contains new teeth with crowns on each end. For more substantial tooth loss, we can offer a full and partial set of custom dentures too. Each option will be custom-made for your smile to ensure a proper fit, a balanced bite, and of course, a lifelike appearance. Don’t let your oral health and quality of life suffer due to missing teeth, talk to our team about possible solutions with our custom dental bridges.
SureSmile Aligners
If you have poor alignment, we can offer a solution with advanced dentistry. Instead of using metal braces to correct crooked, crowded, and overlapping teeth, we can create a series of clear and custom aligners from a BPA-free plastic material. These are made to cover your teeth and help guide them closer and closer to optimal positions and alignment. You wear a set for 20 to 22 hours a day over the course of about two weeks, and then repeat the process with the additional aligner sets as your smile is corrected. Another benefit in addition to their clear appearance is their ability to be removed before you eat or brush and floss. This means no need to change your diet and that you enjoy a reduced risk of cavities and stained teeth during treatment.
If you have any questions about our approach to advanced dentistry, or if you would like to make an appointment to address your aching or injured tooth, then contact our team today to get started. We want to help you smile with confidence and enjoy better oral health, and that starts with an initial consultation.
