Dental Restoration in San Antonio

Tooth enamel is the hardest substance in the body-even harder than bone. You might think that should make it almost indestructible, but if it were, there wouldn’t be any need for dentists.

While proper brushing, flossing and periodic cleanings and exams in our office contribute to a healthy smile, sometimes, even with the best dental care, you can experience tooth decay, cracked and chipped teeth or even missing teeth that affect the way you look and feel about yourself. That’s where restorative dentistry comes in.

What Is It?

Restorative dentistry provides the perfect “fix” for those missing, decayed and damaged teeth and prevents them from becoming or affecting adjacent teeth. Common restorative treatments include the following:

Veneers – very thin covers that are placed on the fronts of teeth to cover and correct gaps, stains or chips.

A dental implant – used to replace a missing tooth. The implant consists of a titanium screw that attaches itself to the jawbone and a crown that is secured to the post of the implant.

Inlays and Onlays – can correct teeth that are too damaged for a filling and not damaged enough to require a crown. An inlay is placed between the cusps (points) on the top of a tooth; an onlay is placed over one or more cusps.

Crowns – a “cap” that fits over existing teeth to replace missing or damaged tooth structures. They are commonly used after root canal therapy to strengthen a tooth and with an implant to replace a missing tooth.

A dental bridge – made up of two crowns on either side of the missing tooth connected to an artificial tooth, called a pontic, in the middle.

Partial dentures – replace several missing teeth and full dentures that replace all your teeth; dentures are removable and look and feel natural.

Root Canal Therapy - removes infected tissue from the roots of a tooth below the gum line. If you haven’t had one lately, you’re not aware that there’s far less pain associated with this procedure today.
