Using these options, we can return your smile to full function, health, and beauty, with long-lasting and lifelike results.
The Benefits of Metal-Free Holistic Restorations
Our team wants to offer dental care that is safe and effective for all ages, from kids to adults. Which means we want to use materials that are holistic and metal-free, which allows them to better bond with the teeth and provide more durable restoration, while also offering a more lifelike appearance. Whether you need a dental filling to treat a cavity, or even a replacement tooth with a bridge, we can help using advanced and metal-free materials.
Dental Fillings
If you have a cavity, we can help with a filling. This is helpful for kids of all ages, preventing cavities from becoming infection that could cause premature tooth loss and increase the risk of misalignment, Likewise, this can stop pain in adult smiles while preventing infection and tooth loss. We do not use a metal material at all, instead we opt for a composite resin that blends glass-like and acrylic particles, which can be shaded to blend with the tooth. Since this is biocompatible, it bonds with the tooth and lasts for years to come. Placement only takes one visit, and helps treat cavities to bring relief and ensure you continue to smile with confidence!
In fact, the same material can also be used in dental bonding to mask cosmetic imperfections like teeth stains, and even repair minor damage, such as chips.
Same-Day CEREC Crowns
Our team also offers dental crowns. If you have tooth decay too severe for a filling, or an infection or damage tooth, we can help with a crown. The restoration caps the tooth and can help improve bite balance and chewing function too. They can even secure bridges in place or restore dental implants to address missing teeth.
Our team crafts them from ceramic using the CEREC CAD/CAM system. With this option, our team can design, create, and place a new and lifelike crown in only one visit, one shaded to blend with your smile seamlessly. No need for multiple visits, just a custom and lifelike crown in only one sitting.
Lifelike Bridges and Dentures
If you have lost a tooth, or possibly as many as three in a row, then we can help with a dental bridge. The prosthetic is made from ceramic and shaded to blend with your smile, consisting of new teeth with crowns attached to each end. We secure the crown portions to the abutment teeth on each side of the gap in your smile. This supports your new teeth and keeps them firmly in place for years to come, as long as 15 in some cases.
We also employ lifelike and metal-free materials to create a set of removable dentures. We have full dentures for people with total or near-total tooth loss. Our team can also create a partial set that addresses multiple gaps spread out across your smile. Both are created based on detailed digital images and impressions we take of your bite, and created using ceramic for the teeth and acrylic for the base, which looks like gum tissue.
These can stay in place for years to come, and we can discuss how to soak and clean them to keep them pliable and fitting well for years. With metal-free advanced dentistry, we can treat your oral health concerns and improve the beauty and function of your bite.
