Rebuilding Your Smile with Restorative Dentistry
At Patterson & Hughes Family Dentistry, we want to help our patients keep their smiles healthy for a lifetime. We provide a full range of restorative services to bring health and function back to teeth that have been damaged due to trauma, decay or infection.
Restorative Treatments for Function and Appearance
Restorative techniques utilize porcelain ceramics and precious metals to rebuild teeth and return your smile to a disease-free state that is easier to clean and maintain. Restorative dentistry also offers an opportunity to enhance your smile. Restorative treatments can make teeth appear whiter and sometimes make them look straighter or more evenly aligned by combining cosmetic dentistry techniques with the restorative process.
Replacement of Missing Teeth
With the exception of third molars (wisdom teeth), when a permanent tooth is lost, the remaining teeth are affected:
- Teeth will naturally move into the space that is left open, this causes the upper and lower teeth to come together differently when biting or chewing;
- This bite misalignment can lead to tooth sensitivity, cracked teeth, tooth nerve damage and eventual loss of other teeth.
Dr. Patterson and Dr. Hughes recommend replacement of missing permanent teeth with a dental prosthesis, such as a dental implant and crown, bridge or partial denture. The replacement appliance is customized to hold the original tooth position and help maintain balance in your bite.
Restorative dentistry can address a number of smile challenges:
- Broken or decayed teeth
- Missing teeth
- Tooth pain
- Aged / discolored crown & bridge work
- Loose and ill-fitting dentures
- Large, broken-down fillings
- Misaligned bite and related jaw pain
- Collapsed bite
