When you come to us with a damaged or decayed tooth, or if you have a missing one, we want to help. With advanced dentistry, our team can provide custom restorations and prosthetics that are metal-free and lifelike in appearance. In today’s blog, your Lake Orion, MI, dentist talks about improving smiles with advanced dentistry.
Composite Resin Dental Fillings
If you have a cavity, we can offer lifelike treatment with advanced dentistry. Our tooth fillings are not made using metal materials like amalgam. Instead, we use a composite resin that is metal-free and safe for all ages. This holistic material bonds with the tooth and can be shaded to blend with your smile too. Placement only takes one visit, and this treats the decay to protect you from infection and worsening discomfort. Along with treating cavities, the same composite resin can be used in a dental bonding procedure to mask teeth stains and repair teeth, even filling in gaps between teeth, all in a single sitting!
Same-Day Dental Crowns
A dental crown can provide repair for your tooth, address damage, decay, and even infection. Our team can use them to take on imbalance too, and to improve chewing function for kids and adults. Placement even aids in tooth replacement, as they can secure a dental bridge or restore your dental implants.
In addition, we can use the CEREC system to design, craft, and place them all in one visit! No need for multiple appointments, as we can complete the whole process in one sitting with digital technology. Our lifelike ceramic material also ensures the finished product blends with your smile too.
Porcelain Dental Bridges
Advanced dentistry can also take on missing teeth. If you have a lost tooth, or as many as three in a row, then we could create and place a dental bridge. The prosthetic is custom-made to ensure a proper fit, and made from lifelike ceramic to ensure it looks natural too. The bridge contains new teeth with crowns on one or both ends. We attach the crowns to the abutment teeth on either side of the gap in your smile, which secures your bridge for years to come.
Custom Dentures
If you have more advanced cases of tooth loss, then we could offer a holistic solution with our lifelike materials. Advanced dentistry means we can create a full or partial set of removable dentures. These can be held in place with scalpels or suction, and will be custom-made for a proper fit, a balanced bite, and of course, a lifelike appearance. Securing these means you can eat your favorite foods again, speak clearly, and feel more confident. Don’t live with severe tooth loss, see our team to discuss possible replacement options, so you can smile without hesitation again.
SureSmile Aligners
Do you have misalignment? If you have crooked, crowded, or overlapping teeth, we could offer a cosmetic alternative to braces with advanced dentistry. Instead of metal brackets and wires, we will take detailed digital images and measurements of your smile, which experts will use to create a series of acrylic aligners. These will fit comfortably and each set helps shift your teeth, so in as little as a year if you could enjoy an even smile. They remain practically invisible when worn, and are easy to clean and soak. The process is simple. You wear a set for about two weeks, 20 to 23 hours a day. They are removable, so you can take them out before meals, no need to alter your diet. Being removable also helps make brushing and flossing much simpler, and you could take them out for special occasions, like first dates, graduations, or big meetings.
If you have any questions about how we can improve your smile with metal-free dental work, then schedule an appointment to see how advanced dentistry can help you smile with confidence again. Treatment can also help you avoid major discomfort and complications, so you enjoy a full smile and better oral health too. Remember, now is a great time to schedule a visit for your kids before a new school year begins, so they can start classes with a bright and healthy smile!
