5 Restorative Dental Procedures That Can Transform Your Smile

Modern dentistry offers several options for improving your smile’s function and esthetics. Cosmetic and restorative procedures abound to correct problems with broken, stained, crooked, crowded, and even missing teeth. If you’re smiling less due to substandard teeth, your Aldie, Virginia, dental team can help! Dr. William Ossakow and Drs. Mallory Grossman and So Jung Lee from Stone Ridge Family Dentistry can renew your smile with restorative dentistry.

Here are some common restorative dental procedures used by our team to transform smiles: 

1. Dental Implants

Implants are used to replace missing teeth and their roots. Small titanium screws (implants) will be inserted into your jaw surgically to act like artificial tooth roots. There, they’ll integrate with your jawbone to become a secure platform to rebuild your smile. Implants can replace any number of teeth to reconstruct a broken smile. Your new teeth will mimic natural teeth in function, durability, and appearance to restore the full integrity of your smile.

2. Dental Crowns

A fractured or broken tooth can be renewed with a dental crown. Crowns are hollow, tooth-shaped caps that repair, support, and protect vulnerable or damaged teeth. Crowning a damaged tooth relieves painful chewing and restores the shape and structure of your tooth, to keep it from falling apart when you bite or chew. Ceramic, porcelain, and porcelain fused to metal crowns closely resemble the color and sheen of natural teeth, and will restore your smile’s attractive appearance along with its functionality. 

3. White Fillings

Composite white fillings can discreetly resolve decay problems. They blend in with the color of your teeth to retain your smile’s aesthetics, even after cavity treatment. They also reinforce and protect decayed teeth to keep them strong for years.   

4. Root Canal Therapy

Root canals address pulpal tooth infections caused by deep decay or dental trauma. The procedure calls for removing the infected pulp to stop the infection and restore your tooth. Otherwise, it would have to be removed. Root canal teeth are often crowned for extra support, strength, and protection. The crown restores your tooth like new and extends its usefulness for the future. 

5. Dentures and Bridges

Besides implants, dentures and bridges make viable teeth replacement options to restore a smile fragmented by tooth loss. A fixed bridge can replace one or several missing teeth in a row. Your Aldie, VA dentist will permanently anchor the bridge to healthy adjacent teeth using dental crowns. Partial dentures can also be used to replace multiple missing teeth. However, these restorations are removable. Traditional full dentures can restore your entire smile after losing teeth to injury, decay, or gum disease.
