Restorative Dentistry

In Fitchburg

Suffering from tooth decay or cavities? Dental fillings are the perfect solution. These restorative treatments are designed to repair the damage caused by tooth decay and restore the function and appearance of your teeth. Dental fillings are a common dental procedure that involves removing the decayed tooth material, cleaning the affected area, and then filling the cleaned-out cavity with a filling material.

Dental crowns are a common treatment option for people who are looking to restore the shape, size, and strength of their teeth. These tooth-shaped caps are placed over the tooth, covering it entirely to improve its appearance and functionality. Dental crowns are made from various materials, including porcelain, resin, or metal, and are customized to match the color and shape of your natural teeth.

Toothaches can be a sign of a serious infection and cause significant discomfort. Fortunately, root canal therapy offers a solution to provide the relief you need and restore the health of your tooth. During a root canal procedure, the infected pulp of the tooth is removed, and the area is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. Once the tooth has been properly treated, it can be restored with a filling or a dental crown to help maintain its structure. Not only can root canal therapy alleviate the pain caused by the infection, but it can also prevent the need for a tooth extraction. By saving your natural tooth, you can smile with confidence and avoid more extensive and costly dental work down the line.

Extractions are always our last option — saving your smile is our number one priority. However, a problematic tooth is sometimes more trouble than it's worth. Your doctor may recommend an extraction as the best way to get your oral health back on the right path. With gentle techniques, and local anesthesia or sedation, decaying teeth can be removed to alleviate your discomfort or to make room for dental implants, a bridge, or another type of tooth replacement.

Dental implants are a revolutionary treatment in the field of dentistry, providing a permanent solution for missing teeth. Unlike dentures, which are removable and can often be uncomfortable, dental implants are surgically inserted into the jawbone, acting as a sturdy and reliable replacement for natural teeth.

There's no need to keep covering up your mouth if a missing tooth is leaving a gap in your smile. With a dental bridge, the space left behind by one, or several, missing teeth can be permanently covered. The bridge is attached to your teeth on either side of the gap, so it won't slide around when you eat or speak. Your bridge also won't stand out from the rest of your smile — it can be color-matched to blend with your other teeth. Keep your teeth from shifting and reduce the risk of bone loss and problems with your bite by asking your dentist about a bridge. Schedule a consultation today to see if a dental bridge can help you complete your smile!

Dentures are a removable, affordable solution that can complete your smile after missing one or all of your natural teeth. To ensure a natural look and feel, most dentures are made of a combination of acrylic and metal and are custom-crafted for a comfortable fit. Looking to see if dentures are right for you? Schedule a consultation to find out if a set of full or partial dentures can restore your bite. It's about time you got back to living your life with a smile.
