Restorative Dentistry
Teeth not only reveal our inner beauty through beaming smiles, but they work hard every day to serve us as tools for eating and speaking. Everyone experiences wear, decay, or damage to teeth at some point in life. Dr. Spector and our team can restore your hardworking teeth to full function and beauty with these services:
- Composite Fillings
Tooth-colored fillings, or composite fillings, are made of a durable resin that stands up well to moderate chewing pressure. Unlike other types of fillings, composites blend in with the natural color of your teeth, so they’re virtually unnoticeable.
- Crowns
A crown is a common type of dental restoration that caps or encases an existing tooth. Crowns repair, strengthen, and improve the appearance of damaged teeth.
- Bridges
Sometimes called fixed partial dentures, bridges are artificial teeth that fill in the spaces left behind by missing teeth. Permanent bridges bond directly to the surrounding teeth and can be removed only by a dentist.
- Partials
Removable partial dentures are replacement teeth attached to a gum-colored base. Clasps or attachments fasten onto natural teeth to secure the partial.
- Dentures
Many patients who have lost most or all of their natural teeth can restore their smiles with full dentures. Dentures boost confidence,, reduce the risk of bone loss, improve function, and give patients their smiles back..
- Dental Implant Restorations
A dental implant is an artificial tooth surgically anchored to the jawbone. Once your prosthetic tooth root bonds naturally with bone tissue to create a solid foundation, Dr. Spector can attach an artificial tooth to the implanted post. Dental implants are the tooth replacements that most closely imitate nature.
