Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing and restoring damaged or missing teeth and their functionality. It encompasses a range of procedures and treatments, including dental fillings, crowns, bridges, and dental implants, each aimed at improving oral health, function, and aesthetics.

Restorative dentistry addresses issues such as cavities, tooth decay, trauma, and tooth loss, helping patients regain their smiles, bite function, and overall dental well-being. Visit Pro-Dental Care, for the best care possible.

Veneers 

A veneer is a thin layer of porcelain placed over the front of a tooth to improve its appearance. Dental veneers are custom-made for each patient and are bonded to the tooth’s front surface using special cement. They are used to correct cosmetic issues such as chipped or cracked teeth, gaps between teeth, stained teeth, and misaligned teeth.

Dental Crowns

A dental crown is a cap that fits over a damaged tooth to restore its shape, size, and strength, as well as improve its appearance. Crowns are made of various materials, including metal, ceramic, resin, or porcelain-fused-to-metal. 

When a crown is needed, our dentist in Cave Creek, AZ, will first prepare the tooth by removing any decay and shaping it to fit inside the crown. Then, they will take an impression of the tooth and send it to a lab where the crown will be made. Once it is ready, they will fit the crown over the tooth and bond it in place.

Fillings

A filling is a restorative treatment that is used to repair a tooth that has been damaged by decay or trauma. The dentist will remove the decayed portion of the tooth and then fill the hole with a material such as silver amalgam, composite resin, porcelain, gold alloy, or glass ionomer. Fillings are a standard procedure that dentists perform regularly.

Dental Bridges

A dental bridge in Cave Creek, AZ, is a fixed dental restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by bridging the gap between adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. The bridge consists of artificial teeth, known as pontics, anchored in place by dental crowns attached to the healthy teeth on either side of the gap or by dental implants.

Dental bridges are custom-made to match the natural color and contour of the patient's teeth, restoring their ability to chew and speak properly while maintaining the surrounding teeth' alignment. By filling the space left by missing teeth, dental bridges help improve both the function and appearance of the patient's smile, enhancing their overall oral health and confidence.
