Restorative Dentistry
Our Approach to Restorative Dentistry
REVIVE YOUR SMILE, RENEW YOUR CONFIDENCE
Restorative treatments are much more than just repairing damaged teeth. We aim to restore full oral function so our patients can live healthy lives. There are also often cosmetic benefits to the restorative treatments we deliver. Your dentist may recommend treatments from different areas of dentistry (e.g., cosmetic dentistry and orthodontics) in your treatment plan to achieve the best outcome. Whether you need a simple dental crown or multiple dental implants, Dentistry for Children is your trusted team of restorative dentistry specialists.
Periodontal Therapy and Maintenance
STOP GUM DISEASE AND PRESERVE YOUR SMILE
Gum disease is a serious, progressive disease that can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. The two major stages of gum disease are gingivitis and periodontitis. Gingivitis is mild, early-stage gum disease. The buildup of plaque and bacteria along the gumline causes swelling, redness, and sometimes bleeding. It is completely reversible with proper treatment, which includes professional dental cleaning and improved oral hygiene routines.
Periodontitis is more advanced and serious. This condition happens when gum disease impacts the underlying tissues. Symptoms include jawbone loss, receding gums, bad breath, and tooth loss. More intensive treatment is required for periodontitis, including deep cleaning, as well as antibiotics or periodontal surgery depending on how advanced the condition is.
Dentistry for Children offers comprehensive periodontal therapy, no matter how serious your gum disease is. Our experienced team will help you treat your condition, remove any infection, and restore your gums so you can improve your oral health.
Dental Crowns
NATURAL-LOOKING, DURABLE RESTORATIONS
Crowns have the potential to save an extensively damaged tooth and restore stability. Using the latest in digital imaging technology, we capture precise measurements of the contours of your tooth before making your crown. This will ensure your crown fits well and your bite is aligned, which is important for your oral function. Zirconia and ceramic are our materials of choice because of their high quality, aesthetic appeal, and durability. Once your custom crown is in place, it will last for many years with good home care and regular professional cleanings.

Dental Bridges
SAY GOODBYE TO UNWANTED GAPS
Missing teeth can have a big impact on your smile, and not just because of their visibility. Gaps can severely affect oral function, including your ability to chew well and speak clearly. Dental bridges are one way that we can close these gaps. A reliable, natural-looking replacement solution, a dental bridge is a prosthetic tooth fused to crowns on each end to bridge the space left by one or multiple missing teeth.
Dental Implants
REGAIN YOUR CONFIDENCE WITH A NEW, SECURE SMILE
Dental implants are widely regarded as the best solution for missing teeth, whether you need to replace one or many. They look and feel natural because they closely mimic the structure of your natural teeth and are securely anchored into the jawbone. The small titanium screws serve as artificial tooth roots. Dental implants offer unparalleled stability, making them an excellent permanent solution for missing teeth.
Bone grafting may be necessary if you have been missing teeth for an extended period and your jawbone has resorbed some. The bone grafting helps to rebuild and reinforce the jawbone. Bone grafting may be necessary if you have been missing teeth for an extended period and some of your jawbone has reabsorbed.
Implant-Supported Dentures
MODERN & PERMANENT REPLACEMENTS
For many years, removable dentures have been the go-to solution to replace multiple missing teeth. However, traditional dentures are known to sometimes slip out of place, and patients may experience some initial discomfort. Now, have the option of a more modern and comfortable alternative: implant-supported dentures. By anchoring your dentures to strategically placed implants, your smile can be restored and you won’t need any sort of adhesive to keep them in place. Your dentures will be secure and stable, functioning just like your natural teeth. They will also look just like your normal smile, so you can smile confidently again.
