Restorative Dentistry
While it’s true there are fewer cases of tooth decay, thanks to the use of fluorides and improved patient awareness, teeth are still susceptible to decay, infection, and other problems. In these situations, teeth need to be nursed back to health. At Westdale Dental in Cedar Rapids, we provide a variety of restorative dentistry options to help restore teeth to their normal shape, appearance, and function.
If a need arises and you require a restorative dentistry treatment, you’ll find comfort in knowing we explain all available options and recommend what we believe to be the best treatment for your condition.
Reasons for restorative dentistry:
- Repair damaged and decayed teeth
- Relieve dental pain
- Restore normal eating and chewing
- Prevent the loss of a tooth
- Replace old, unattractive dental restorations
- Improve or correct an improper bite
- Enhance your smile
- Replace missing teeth
- Fill in unattractive spaces between teeth
Crowns (Caps)
Using crowns or caps will help restore broken or fractured teeth. It usually takes two appointments to ensure the crown is in the right shape and fit.
Implants
A more permanent solution to a missing tooth is a dental implant. Artificial roots are placed within the jawbone, providing a long-lasting solution.
Bridges
A dental bridge is the most popular solution for replacing missing teeth. We will assess your needs and determine the best option for you.
Dentures
We custom make dentures to enhance your smile. Whether you need a partial set or a full set, stop in for a consultation.
