Below is an overview of the restorative dental services we offer.
OUR RESTORATIVE SERVICES:
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns
are custom-made caps placed over damaged or weakened teeth to restore strength, shape, and appearance. Crowns are often recommended for teeth that are severely decayed, fractured, or treated with root canal therapy.
| • |
Porcelain Crowns
- Highly aesthetic and durable, designed to match your natural teeth.
|
| • |
Crown vs. Inlays & Onlays
- We offer alternative restorations for teeth that don’t require a full crown.
|
| • |
Long-Lasting Protection - Strengthens and preserves teeth that would otherwise need extraction. |
Crowns provide both cosmetic improvement and functional restoration, blending seamlessly with your smile.
Dental Implants
Dental implants
are the gold standard for permanent tooth replacement. These titanium posts are surgically placed in the jawbone and topped with lifelike restorations for unmatched strength and stability.
| • |
Single Tooth Implants - Replace a missing tooth with a natural-looking crown.
|
| • |
Implant-Supported Bridges - Restore multiple missing teeth without relying on adjacent natural teeth.
|
| • |
All-on-4® Implants
- Full arch restoration using only four strategically placed implants.
|
| • |
Implant Restorations
- We restore and maintain existing implants for continued function.
|
| • |
Bone Grafting
- For patients with jawbone loss, we provide grafting to support future implant placement. |
With proper care, implants can last a lifetime, making them one of the most reliable restorative treatments available.
Dentures & Overdentures
For patients missing multiple teeth, dentures
remain an effective and affordable solution. At Dental Works, we customize dentures for comfort, fit, and natural appearance.
| • |
Partial Dentures - Replace several missing teeth while blending with remaining natural teeth.
|
| • |
Full Dentures - Restore a complete arch of teeth with a removable appliance.
|
| • |
Overdentures
- Implant-supported dentures that provide superior stability and comfort.
|
| • |
Denture Care Guidance
- Education and adjustments to keep your dentures in top condition. |
Modern dentures are designed for improved comfort, speech, and function, giving patients renewed confidence in daily life.
Root Canal Therapy
When infection reaches the inner pulp of a tooth, root canal therapy
can save the tooth and prevent extraction. This procedure removes infected tissue, disinfects the canals, and seals the tooth with a durable filling.
Often, a crown is placed after treatment to restore strength and prevent future damage. Root canals relieve pain while preserving your natural teeth.
Wisdom Teeth Removal & Tooth Extractions
Sometimes, a tooth cannot be saved. We provide safe and effective tooth extractions, including the removal of impacted wisdom teeth. Extractions may also be necessary before orthodontic treatment or implant placement.
| • |
Simple Extractions
- Performed for teeth that are visible and accessible.
|
| • |
Surgical Extractions - Required for impacted or severely damaged teeth.
|
| • |
Wisdom Teeth Removal
- Preventing crowding, pain, and infection from late-erupting molars. |
Our team ensures extractions are as comfortable as possible, with sedation dentistry options available when needed.
Full Mouth Reconstruction
For patients with extensive dental damage or multiple missing teeth, full mouth reconstruction
offers a complete solution. This customized treatment plan may combine crowns, implants, bridges, dentures, and cosmetic treatments to rebuild both function and aesthetics.
By addressing bite alignment, oral health, and appearance, full mouth reconstruction can transform your smile and improve your quality of life.
FAQs
What’s the difference between dental crowns and fillings?
Fillings repair small to moderate cavities by sealing the tooth, while crowns are used when a tooth is significantly weakened or damaged. A crown covers the entire tooth, providing long-term strength and protection.
Are dental implants better than dentures?
Dental implants provide permanent, stable replacements that function like natural teeth, while dentures are removable appliances. The right option depends on your oral health, bone density, and personal preference.
How long does a dental crown last?
With proper care, dental crowns typically last 10 to 15 years or more. Regular check-ups and good oral hygiene help extend their lifespan.
What is included in a full mouth reconstruction?
A full mouth reconstruction is a customized treatment plan that may include crowns, bridges, implants, dentures, root canals, and cosmetic treatments. It’s designed to restore both function and aesthetics for patients with complex dental needs.
