Restorative Dentistry

There are situations that can arise where some form of restorative dentistry may be needed to restore and/or replace damaged or missing teeth. If you suffer any type of trauma to a tooth, it can cause an injury that may actually cost you the loss of the tooth. If trauma to a tooth should happen to you, and our dentist in Santa Monica can save the tooth through root canal therapy, a porcelain crown will then be custom made to fit over your tooth and completely restore it. A crown is strong and will act as a protective cover for the tooth to prevent further damage from occurring to it.

But should you experience an injury to a tooth where it cannot be saved, there are restorative procedures that our Santa Monica dentist can use to replace your missing tooth and give you the ability to function just as though the tooth were still there. A dental implant is a replacement tooth that will fit securely in the bone within the gum, ensuring that the implant will not come loose. The implant will look the same as a natural tooth.

If you have damaged or missing teeth, you probably experience difficulty when talking or eating and are self-conscious when smiling. Our Santa Monica restorative dentist can treat your teeth and solve your problems.

Santa Monica Restorative Dentist

When more than one tooth is missing, our restorative dentist in Santa Monica will use a dental device such as a partial fixed bridge to fill in the gaps left by the missing teeth. With a bridge, the teeth on either side of the missing teeth will receive crowns, and those crowns act as anchors for the bridge. Replacement teeth on the partial bridge will fill in the gaps where the missing teeth once were, and you will have full functioning of all of your teeth once again.

There are situations where all or almost all of the teeth will be gone, either through a car accident, disease or some other incident. Our Santa Monica restorative dentist can expertly fit you with a full set of dentures that will replace all of the teeth in your mouth. With different options open to you in restorative dentistry, you have the assurance of knowing that teeth can be capably restored and/or replaced.

If you have damaged or missing teeth due to an accident or disease, it’s time to contact out restorative dentist in Santa Monica to receive proper treatment and prevent other problems from developing.
