When we see patients with tooth decay and/or infected or damaged teeth, we can help. Advanced dentistry allows our team to repair teeth with metal-free and holistic materials. In today’s blog, your team at Lake Orion Family Dentistry talks about repairing smiles in Lake Orion, MI, with advanced dentistry.
Your Consultation for Advanced Dentistry
How do you know if you need to seek dental care? For many, tooth sensitivity or a toothache could be a sign that there is a cavity or even the early stages of infection that need treatment. You could also have a tooth that is worn down, broken, or cracked. We could also offer help for people with uneven teeth or missing ones too! Our team will thoroughly examine your teeth with digital imaging to plan treatment, so we can offer lifelike repair with advanced dentistry.
Lifelike Fillings
Lifelike repair with advanced dentistry includes our dental fillings, which we can use to treat cavities in one visit. We use a holistic and metal-free composite resin, metal-free dental work that is safe for all patients. We will numb the teeth, remove decay, and clean the tooth. We then apply the material, which we shade to blend with your toho, and shape your tooth while the composite resin cures under a light. Finally, we polish the tooth for a more attractive appearance.
Same-Day Dental Crowns
Same-day dental crowns also offer a lifelike repair using advanced dentistry. No need for two to three visits to place a crown, we can take on injuries, imbalance, and decay in one visit with a full dental restoration. Our team will numb the tooth and remove structure to accommodate the restoration. We then take images and impressions of the prepped tooth, which are then used to create a 3D model. We upload this into an onsite CEREC machine, which mills the crown from a solid block of ceramic. The material looks natural and can handle daily bite forces with ease! In the same visit, we attach this with a powerful bonding agent.
SureSmile Aligners
What if we have a lifelike way to repair misalignment using advanced dentistry? With SureSmile aligners, we can provide an alternative to metal braces to correct your uneven smile. Our team will take images and impressions of your bite and then experts will use them in a dental lab to design a series of clear aligners made from a BPA-free plastic material. Treatment involves wearing a set of aligners for about a two-week period, 20 to 23 hours a day, and then repeating this process with each set of aligners in the series until you see optimal results, which could take as little as one year!
Porcelain Bridges
What about lifelike tooth replacement? With advanced dentistry, our team can take on tooth loss. For a single missing tooth or for as many as two to three in a row, we could offer a dental bridge. The prosthetic contains new teeth with crowns on each side, all made from ceramic, which is shaded to blend with the smile. This material can also handle daily bite forces with ease. Once placed, your new bridge could last for 10 to 15 years on average, so you can enjoy tooth replacement that is secure and long-lasting, helping you feel more confident and enjoy your favorite dishes again.
Full and Partial Dentures
What about more severe tooth loss? With dentures, we can take on tooth loss, or even complex cases too severe for a bridge. If you have several gaps spread out across your smile, we could create a partial denture that fills all of these gaps at once, so you have a full smile again. If you have lost most or all of your teeth, we can create a full denture that replaces every tooth on one or both arches. Made from porcelain, these will look natural and offer durable tooth replacement, and can last for years to come with proper care and attention.
