A number of patients have broken teeth or they broke a tooth unexpectedly on a weekend, weekday, and what have you. So, there’s a number of different approaches depending on the situation. Everyone in every case is unique. Sometimes just simple bonding will fix a tooth. We’ll add it back and we will customize the shade of the bonding to make sure we match closely to the rest of the tooth that’s still intact. So, it hopefully looks like you don’t have anything missing at all. Then other times, you know, if it’s really fractured to a point where we can’t do bonding, it’s not going to be strong enough, then we talk about a crown. Sometimes there’s even talk of, or need to talk about, taking a tooth out and replacing it with an implant or a bridge. There’s a number of different options and it is all heavily dependent on what’s missing and how the other teeth are on the sides of it or the adjacent spaces of the missing tooth.
Reclaim Your Beautiful Smile With Restorative Solutions
Whether you have a cavity, an infected tooth, a broken tooth, or a missing tooth, our doctor can restore your smile’s appearance and function. Our services include:
- Tooth Fillings – We offer tooth-colored composite fillings to repair teeth damaged from decay or injury. They’ll blend in naturally with your smile.
- Dental Veneers – A custom-made porcelain or zirconia veneer can mend chips or minor cracks. Veneers can also cover worn-down teeth.
- Dental Crowns – Broken teeth, cracked teeth, and severely decayed teeth can all be repaired with dental crowns.
- Dental Bridges – You can replace a single tooth or several missing teeth with a dental bridge. It anchors to nearby teeth or to implants.
- Dentures – To replace an entire arch of teeth, we’ll create customized dentures. We offer partial dentures, too.
- Dental Implants – Dr. Parker will refer you to a trusted specialist who will place your dental implants. Then, you’ll return here to have your new teeth attached to the implants. Because implants stimulate your jaw much like natural tooth roots, your bone will remain strong.
Because some restorative dentistry procedures can take longer than other dental treatments, our caring staff can offer you a pillow and blanket to keep you comfortable in our chair. If you’re nervous, laughing gas (nitrous oxide) will relax you. Plus, you can be assured that we will always treat you with respect and listen to all your concerns and questions.
