Restorative Dentistry

---

 Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing or replacing damaged or missing teeth to restore function, appearance, and overall oral health. Our goal is to help you maintain a healthy, confident smile. 

 Bridges close the gaps left by missing teeth, preventing your remaining teeth from shifting and maintaining proper jaw alignment. A dental bridge uses false teeth (pontics) supported by natural teeth on either side, blending seamlessly with your smile. Bridges are typically made of porcelain or other materials that match your natural teeth. 

 Crowns protect and restore damaged teeth, allowing them to function normally. After cleaning a damaged tooth, a crown—made of ceramic, porcelain, or e-max—is placed over it. Crowns look and work just like your natural teeth. 

 Dental implants replace missing teeth, filling the gaps to prevent surrounding teeth from shifting out of alignment. They restore normal chewing function, supporting proper digestion, and act just like natural teeth in both appearance and function. 

 Dentures replace missing teeth to help you regain confidence and functionality. Partial dentures replace some teeth, while complete dentures replace all teeth. They are designed for comfort, fit, and a natural appearance. 

 Sometimes teeth cannot be saved due to severe damage, crowding, or impaction. We do everything possible to preserve teeth, but when extraction is necessary, it is done safely and comfortably. Simple extractions remove a single front or side tooth, while complex extractions handle broken or impacted teeth. Advanced technology makes extractions easier than ever, providing relief and starting your path to a restored smile. 

 Root canals save teeth when infection reaches the soft inner areas (nerves, pulp, and connective tissue). By removing diseased tissue, we can preserve your natural tooth and prevent the need for extraction. 

 Many people experience dental anxiety, which can prevent them from receiving care. We offer sedation options—including oral, nitrous oxide, and local anesthesia—to help you feel relaxed and comfortable during your visit. 

 Dental emergencies—like knocked-out teeth or sudden pain—require prompt attention. If life-threatening, call 911. For urgent dental care, contact us immediately at (360) 877-5151. We provide fast, expert care to protect your smile. We will get you our schedule either same or next day!
