Restorative Dentistry: Transforming Smiles and Lives
Restorative dentistry is a vital branch of dental care that focuses on repairing damaged teeth and replacing missing ones to restore their function and appearance. Whether you’re dealing with cavities, broken teeth, or tooth loss, restorative procedures can transform your oral health and quality of life.
At IKON Dental Group in Plainville, CT, Dr. Khan specializes in providing comprehensive restorative dentistry solutions tailored to each patient’s needs. By combining advanced techniques with personalized care, restorative dentistry not only improves oral health but also boosts confidence and comfort.
Crowns: Strengthening Damaged Teeth
Dental crowns are a versatile solution designed to repair weakened or broken teeth. These custom-made caps fit over the entire tooth, providing protection and restoring its strength and functionality. Crowns are ideal for teeth that have undergone root canal therapy or sustained significant damage from decay or trauma.
In addition to their functional benefits, crowns enhance the appearance of misshapen or discolored teeth by mimicking the natural look of enamel. With proper care, crowns can last for many years while maintaining their durability and aesthetic appeal.
Bridges: Closing Gaps for a Complete Smile
Dental bridges are an effective solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. By anchoring artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth or implants, bridges restore your ability to chew and speak comfortably while preventing neighboring teeth from shifting into empty spaces.
Bridges also play a crucial role in maintaining facial structure by supporting surrounding tissues and preventing jawbone deterioration caused by tooth loss. Whether you choose a traditional or implant-supported bridge, this procedure offers both functional and aesthetic benefits.
Implants: A Fixed Solution for Missing Teeth
Dental implants provide a long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth. These small titanium posts are surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. Once integrated with the bone, implants serve as a stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures.
Implants not only restore the appearance of your smile but also prevent bone loss by stimulating the jawbone like natural tooth roots do. They offer unmatched durability and functionality, allowing you to eat your favorite foods without worry.
Dentures: Flexible Tooth Replacement Options
Dentures provide a removable solution for replacing missing teeth and surrounding tissues. Available as complete dentures (for patients missing all their teeth) or partial dentures (for those with some remaining natural teeth), they restore both function and aesthetics.
Modern dentures are designed for comfort and natural appearance, enabling patients to smile confidently while enjoying improved oral health. Dentures are also an affordable option compared to other restorative treatments like implants or bridges.
Extractions: Prioritizing Oral Health
While preserving natural teeth is always the goal, extractions may be necessary in cases of severe decay or damage that cannot be repaired through other treatments. Removing compromised teeth helps prevent infection and further complications that could affect overall oral health.
At IKON Dental Group in Plainville, CT, Dr. Khan performs gentle extractions with precision to ensure minimal discomfort and optimal healing.
