Restorative Dentistry Services
The condition of your teeth and lifelong dental health rely on a carefully executed daily regimen, regular visits to the dentists, and eating a healthy diet. Some may even call taking care of your teeth a full-time job. Unfortunately, many people are not able to keep up with this practice, or face complicating circumstances that contribute to wear and tear on their teeth.
“Restorative dentistry” refers to any dental procedure which can help a patient regain lost functionality. This includes strengthening teeth, replacing them, and repairing them. At Cornerstone Dental of Lincoln Square, we’re proud to offer our patients a comprehensive suite of restorative options to help them smile their brightest.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns can be utilized in a wide variety of situations. They are tooth-shaped caps that are placed over individual teeth to help improve size, strength, and overall appearance. If you have a weak tooth that is suffering from decay, you may opt for dental crowns in Lincoln Square. They can also be used to cover dental implants, to hold a dental bridge in place, to restore a broken tooth or to improve the appearance of a misshaped tooth.
Dental Bridges
Dental bridges are another way to improve your smile. They are made from two or more crowns to help close larger gaps in your mouth. Depending on the number of teeth that need to be replaced, dental bridges may be made from anchoring teeth, called abutment teeth, and false teeth in-between. Not only can dental bridges improve the appearance of your smile, but they can also restore your ability to chew and speak as well as help maintain your face shape.
Implant-Supported Bridges
Another option to replace missing teeth are implant-supported bridges. In this case, the bridges are supported by dental implants that hold the bridge in place. They are very secure, making them comfortable and very comparable to your natural teeth.
Dental Implants
With a 98 percent success rate, dental implants are a very popular and reliable way to replace missing or damaged teeth. Whether you need one dental implant or a mouthful of them, you’ll restore your smile to its full potential. Not only do dental implants restore your smile, they promote jaw bone growth, as the titanium rod is anchored into your jaw bone and helps preserve a strong jaw.
If you aren’t happy with your smile, there’s no need to panic or become frustrated. Schedule an appointment with Cornerstone Dental of Lincoln Square to receive a dental crown, dental bridge, and more!
