Whether you're facing cavities, broken teeth, or tooth loss, our experienced team is here to provide the care you need to restore your smile and maintain a healthy mouth.
Restorative dentistry focuses on diagnosing and treating oral health problems that affect the structure and function of your teeth. The primary goal of restorative dentistry is to restore the health, integrity, and functionality of your teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Common restorative procedures include fillings, crowns, bridges, and dental implants.
Tooth decay can create holes in your teeth, known as cavities, which can worsen if left untreated.
Teeth that are cracked, chipped, or broken need to be repaired to restore their function and prevent further damage.
Gaps from missing teeth can affect your ability to chew and speak properly, as well as impact the alignment of your remaining teeth.
At Bryon Haley, DDS PA, we offer a variety of restorative dental treatments to meet your individual needs:
Used to treat cavities, fillings restore the structure of your tooth after decay has been removed. We use tooth-colored composite materials that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a discreet and durable restoration.
A dental crown, or cap, is used to restore a tooth that is severely damaged or decayed. Crowns cover the entire tooth, providing strength and protection while also improving its appearance.
For cavities that are too large for a filling but not extensive enough for a crown, inlays and onlays are a perfect solution. These custom-made restorations fit into your tooth like puzzle pieces, restoring its structure and function.
When decay or injury affects the inner pulp of a tooth, a root canal may be necessary to remove the infection and save the tooth. After cleaning out the infected tissue, the tooth is sealed and often covered with a crown for added protection.
Dental bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth. They consist of artificial teeth anchored to adjacent natural teeth, filling the gap and restoring your smile and chewing ability.
Dental implants are a long-lasting solution for missing teeth. An implant acts as an artificial tooth root, onto which a crown, bridge, or denture can be attached. Implants are considered the gold standard for tooth replacement due to their durability and natural appearance.
For patients who are missing several or all of their teeth, dentures provide an effective replacement option. We offer both full and partial dentures, as well as implant-supported dentures for added stability and comfort.
Restorative dentistry is crucial for maintaining long-term oral health. By addressing issues like decay, damage, and tooth loss, we can help you avoid more severe dental problems down the line. Restorative treatments not only improve the function of your teeth but also enhance the appearance of your smile, boosting your overall confidence.
Restorative dentistry offers numerous benefits, including:
The process for restorative dentistry will vary depending on the specific treatment you need. For most procedures, we begin with a thorough examination and diagnostic imaging, such as X-rays, to assess the condition of your teeth. From there, we’ll discuss your treatment options and create a personalized plan to restore your oral health.
Recovery times and post-treatment care will also depend on the type of procedure. For example, simple fillings may allow you to resume normal activities immediately, while more extensive treatments like dental implants may require a short recovery period.
If you’re experiencing dental issues or have missing teeth, don’t wait to seek treatment. Restorative dentistry at Bryon Haley, DDS PA can help you regain your smile’s health, function, and appearance.
