Restorative Dentistry

Teeth can be damaged or broken in a number of ways. Tooth decay, an injury to the mouth, or severe periodontal disease can all result in a tooth becoming so badly damaged that some form of restorative dentistry will be required in order to repair it. The loss of teeth can also occur, with restorative dentistry coming to the rescue to replace the missing tooth or teeth.

Our dentist in Encino has a number of options available for repairing and replacing teeth. Upon a visit to the office, a thorough examination will be done to see exactly what type of restorative work will be needed. If damage to a tooth has resulted in damage to the nerve as well, root canal therapy can be performed by our Encino restorative dentist. A cap or crown will then be placed on the tooth that will restore it. Caps and crowns are very strong and durable, functioning in the same way as a natural tooth. When these dental devices are used, teeth are effectively repaired.

Are your teeth damaged or missing? You can get them repaired or replaced in a number of ways offered by our Encino restorative dentist.

Encino Restorative Dentist

Our Encino dentist also has restorative techniques for replacing missing teeth. A single tooth can be replaced with a dental implant that is firmly anchored in the bone within the gum. With dental implants, the smile is completely restored to its natural appearance, and implants are very durable as well. They are the best form of restorative dentistry for those situations when a single tooth is missing.

When multiple teeth are gone, our restorative dentist in Encino will use partial bridges to fill in the gaps. With a partial bridge, the teeth on either side of the missing teeth will be crowned, and the bridge will then be attached to the crowns. The patient will have use of a full set of teeth, with eating, chewing and speaking no longer presenting a problem because of gaps. If the majority of teeth are gone, full dentures will be fitted into the mouth and will function in the same way as natural teeth.

Your Encino dentist has many ways to help you with restorative treatments.
