Restorations

What are tooth restorations?

Restorations at Tottenville Dental involve treatments that strengthen and restore damaged or decaying teeth to prevent further problems. The skilled providers personalize restoration treatment plans based on the condition of your teeth and your goals. Tooth restorations create teeth that are stronger, more beautiful, and natural-looking.

Which imperfections can tooth restorations address?

Tooth restorations can treat the following:

• Tooth decay
• Chips
• Cracks
• Infections
• Misshapen teeth
• Missing teeth

The Tottenville Dental team can extract severely decaying teeth, perform root canals, whiten your teeth, straighten teeth, and complete smile makeovers. 

Which restorations are available?

Tooth restorations available at Tottenville Dental include:

Crowns

Crowns are dental caps that fit over a natural tooth to strengthen and protect it. Crowns look like natural teeth and are long-lasting when cared for properly.

Tottenville Dental also offers implant-supported crowns that replace missing permanent teeth. 

Inlays and onlays

Inlays and onlays preserve as much of your natural tooth as possible, restoring it using dental materials that cover just a portion of your natural tooth. 

Bridges

Dental bridges replace one or multiple missing teeth using dental implants, two crowns with an artificial tooth in between, or a metal framework. You can choose a bridge if you want to eliminate any gaps caused by permanent tooth loss or extraction. 

Fillings

Dental fillings use natural-looking materials to repair teeth containing minor decay or damage. 

Dental bonding

Dental bonding helps sculpt, strengthen, and reshape damaged teeth. 

Dental implant

Dental implants replace missing or extracted teeth using metal posts inserted into the jawbone — the implants anchor bridges, crowns, or dentures.

Which dental restorations are right for me?

The Tottenville Dental team discusses your symptoms and oral health history, examines your gums and teeth, and analyzes the results of your dental X-rays. They personalize a tooth restoration treatment plan that may include more than one type of restoration. 

See the Tottenville Dental team at least every six months for dental cleanings and exams, and call the office at the first sign of tooth damage or if you experience any pain. 

Schedule an evaluation at Tottenville Dental by phone or request one online today to determine which tooth restorations you may need.
