I employ various methods to rebuild a failing smile, depending on the nature of the failure, your goals, and your budget.
Failing can mean any combination of:
- Missing Teeth
- Infected Teeth
- Crumbling and Decayed Teeth
- Short and Worn Teeth
I first assess your smile to learn how restorative dentistry will benefit you and through what avenues.
Restoring a Failing Smile in Edwardsville, IL
After I’ve assessed your smile, I’ll discuss the various methods with you and help you choose restoration options that will work long term.
- Tooth Crowns: Dental crowns in Edwardsville, IL, are tooth-shaped caps that restore damaged teeth after treatment. They are always color-matched to your untreated teeth.
- Dental Veneers: Dental veneers, like tooth crowns, conceal chips, cracks, and general damage. But they also hide gummy smiles.
- Tooth-Colored Fillings: If you have broken silver fillings, we can replace them with my tooth-colored option.
- Dental Bonding: Dental bonding is an inexpensive, fast way to hide flaws and help protect chipped or cracked teeth. It can also help with root pain at the gumline.
Restoring Multiple Missing Teeth
I offer a wide range of tooth replacement options, including CEREC same-day bridges and all-on-X dental implants. All-on-x means using six or fewer implants to attach an entire arch of custom replacement teeth to the jaw.
Full-mouth reconstruction may include tooth replacement and various restorative options. The goal is your smile's future health and beauty.
Potential Pretreatments Before Restorative Dentistry
In some cases, I must treat oral health issues before moving forward with reconstruction or tooth replacement.
Treatments may include dental fillings, root canal therapy, bone grafting, and professional teeth cleaning.
