Restorations

Composite Filling to Repair a Tooth

Composite filling restoration method is used to repair a tooth that is affected by decay, crack, or a fracture. The decayed portion of the tooth is removed, and it is then filled with tooth-colored composite filling. You may need a composite filling for:

• Chipped teeth
• Closing the gap between 2 teeth
• Broken or cracked teeth
• Decayed teeth
• Worn out teeth

Composite fillings can be done in one appointment. The dentist will remove the decayed tooth and thoroughly clean and prepare the space before placing the composite filling. 

Dental Crown to Cover a Damaged Tooth

When a tooth is decayed or broken, you will need a crown or a cap to cover the entire tooth and restore it. Zirconia crowns are the most popular type of crowns. These are durable and strengthen tooth structure. You will need crowns in case you have:

• Fractured or broken teeth
• Decayed teeth
• Fractured or large fillings
• Cosmetic enhancements
• Had a root canal done to your tooth

Precision Dental Implants

This type of dental restoration process is mostly required in case of a missing tooth. Usually made from titanium, the artificial roots and teeth (dental implants) are surgically placed on the jaw bone.

Though dental implants are strong and durable, they need to be re-tightened and replaced from time to time. Contact our dentists to learn more about the dental implant procedure.

Complete and Partial Dentures

A denture is a removable dental fixture that replaces missing teeth and resembles your natural teeth. Depending on how many missing teeth you have, you can either get a partial or a complete set of dentures.

If you don't want to go without teeth, you can choose immediate dentures, which are made in advance and placed immediately after the teeth are removed. Once the tissue is healed, the denture will have to be adjusted for comfort.

A conventional type of denture is made after the teeth are removed and the tissue is healed. This takes about 4 to 6 weeks. An important point to note is that you will have to go without teeth for these 4 to 6 weeks!

Fixed Bridge Dental Restoration Procedure

Visit Fergus Spades Dental Care to learn more about fixed dental bridges. This procedure is used to replace missing teeth. Talk to our dentists about the various types of fixed bridges available. Traditionally, fixed bridges are made from zirconia.

Two crowns sit over two anchoring teeth and are attached to artificial teeth, thus filling the gap created by one or more missing teeth. Dental bridges are durable and effective. Talk to our dentists to schedule your dental appointment.

Dental Root Canal Therapy

When the nerve of a tooth is decayed or affected by an infection, you'll need root canal treatment to save the tooth and the tissue. The treatment starts with a thorough cleaning of the affected tooth, which goes deep down to the root of the tooth.

Root canal treatment requires 1 or more appointments for cleaning and filling the gap with special dental materials. The tooth is then sealed with a cap or crown. For more detailed information about root canal treatment, call us at (870) 910-0000.
