Restorative Dentistry

in Phoenix, AZ

Cavities are one of the most common oral diseases, so it's imperative we tackle them as soon as they begin to compromise the health and wellness of your teeth. When left untreated, they can cause serious discomfort and may require more invasive procedures to alleviate. Thanks to tooth colored fillings, your dentist can halt the progression of tooth decay in a single visit. By stopping by for your regular 6-month cleaning and checkup, you can prevent new cavities from forming in the first place.

When tooth decay is too extensive for a simple filling but doesn't warrant a full crown, inlays and onlays offer an effective solution. We utilize a digital scanner to create precise 3D images of your teeth, enabling us to fabricate custom inlays and onlays in-house using high-strength porcelain glass ceramic. This material not only mimics the natural translucency of tooth enamel but also provides exceptional durability, ensuring long-lasting restorations that can withstand the pressures of daily use. This digital approach enhances the fit and comfort of your restorations, streamlining the process and eliminating the need for traditional molds.

Dental crowns are an excellent solution for restoring cracked or broken teeth, providing both protection and improved function. These custom-made caps safeguard the natural root of your tooth while enhancing your bite. Crowns are also commonly used after root canal therapy or dental implants to strengthen and preserve the tooth. Using CEREC technology, we can create high-quality, same-day crowns right here in our office, saving you time and eliminating the need for multiple visits. With a variety of material options available, crowns offer both restorative and cosmetic benefits, helping you restore your smile with comfort and confidence.

If a missing tooth is affecting your smile, a dental bridge offers a permanent solution to fill the gap. A bridge is securely anchored to the teeth on either side of the space, ensuring it stays in place while you eat, speak, and smile. Custom-designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, your bridge will restore both the appearance and function of your smile. In addition to completing your smile, a dental bridge helps prevent neighboring teeth from shifting and reduces the risk of bone loss and bite problems. Schedule a consultation today to find out how a dental bridge can help you restore both the look and health of your smile.

Toothaches can signal a serious infection and cause significant discomfort. Fortunately, root canal therapy provides a solution to relieve pain and restore your tooth’s health. During the procedure, the infected pulp is carefully removed, and the area is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. Once treated, your tooth can be restored with a filling or dental crown to maintain its strength and structure. Root canal therapy not only alleviates the pain but also helps preserve your natural tooth, preventing the need for extraction and avoiding more extensive dental work in the future. With root canal therapy, you can smile with confidence and maintain your oral health.

While preserving your natural teeth is always our priority, there are times when a problematic tooth can cause more harm than good. In these cases, a tooth extraction may be necessary to restore your oral health. Using gentle techniques and local anesthesia, we can safely remove decayed or damaged teeth to relieve discomfort or create space for dental implants, a bridge, or other tooth replacements. Our goal is to ensure the process is as comfortable and stress-free as possible, helping you achieve a healthier smile.
