Restorative Dentistry in Scottsdale, AZ

Restorative dentistry encompasses a variety of treatments, from the straightforward to the intricate. Procedures commonly offered at our Scottsdale facility include:

 

• Dental Fillings: These are some of the most common restorative treatments. A dentist removes the decayed or broken portion of a tooth and "fills" the area where the decayed or broken material was removed with a filling material, such as composite resins or porcelain.

• Dental Crowns: Also known as caps, these are used to entirely cover or "cap" a damaged tooth. Besides strengthening a damaged tooth, a crown can be used to improve its appearance, shape, or alignment.

• Dental Bridges: These are recommended if you're missing one or more teeth. Bridges span the space where the teeth are missing. They are cemented to the natural teeth or implants surrounding the empty space.

• Dental Implants: These are durable, bio-compatible posts surgically positioned into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. Once in place, they are a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth, designed to match your natural teeth.

• Root Canal Therapy: This treatment is done when the nerve or pulp of the tooth becomes infected and swollen or decayed. The pulp chamber and root canal(s) of the tooth are then cleaned and sealed.

• Dentures: These are prosthetic devices replacing lost teeth. There are two types of dentures – complete and partial. Complete dentures are used when all the teeth are missing, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain.

• Gold Restorations: These involve using a durable and biocompatible gold alloy to skillfully repair and protect damaged teeth, offering a long-lasting solution with aesthetic appeal.

 

Each is designed to address specific dental issues, with the ultimate goal of restoring the mouth to its natural function and appearance.
