What are the available tooth restoration services?

At Eternity Dental, we offer several restorative procedures to restore appearance and function while maintaining your overall appearance. There are many types of restorations, all of which can be made from different materials. The most commonly placed restorations are listed below.

1. Dental bridges: A dental bridge is a natural-looking teeth replacement option which is bonded to either existing teeth or dental implants. It is used to fill in gaps from one or more missing teeth, help you chew, and support your oral health. Because bridges are custom-made, they blend in well with remaining teeth providing a natural looking smile, and helping to restore the natural contour of teeth and the bite. Bridges are made from porcelain, gold, alloys, or a combination.

2. Dental crowns: A dental crown is a restoration that is placed over a damaged tooth to restore the tooth's function and appearance. Crowns are also known as "caps" can also used to attach dental bridges, cover implants and prevent further damage to a cracked tooth. They can be matched to the color of your existing teeth so that they are not noticeable. They can be made from metals like gold alloys and natural looking materials such as porcelain (or porcelain-fused-to-metal).

3. Dental implants: A dental implant is surgically fused into the jawbone, serving as a long-term replacement for the root portion of a damaged or missing tooth. Implants typically are constructed of titanium metal and placed inside the jawbone. Once securely in place, the implant can then be affixed with an artificial tooth crown or bridge. Dental implants are extremely durable and long-lasting and are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth.

4. Dentures: Also known as false teeth, dentures are a type of removable prosthetic device to replace all or several missing teeth, allowing you to eat, speak and smile with confidence. Depending on the number of missing teeth, dentures can either be partial that are used if you still have healthy teeth or full dentures, which cover the span of your entire arch. You can get customized dentures that will suit your needs.

5. Tooth-colored fillings: Tooth-colored fillings are the most common type of dental restoration for people of all ages. It is used to treat cavities and tooth decay and it can be used on either front or back teeth. Fillings are also used to repair cracked or broken teeth and teeth that have been worn down. They are the right choice for people who prefer that their fillings look more natural. Cavity in your teeth will be filled with gold, silver amalgam, or tooth-colored plastic and glass materials called composite resin fillings.

6. Root canal therapy: RCT is a method in conserving a damaged, decayed and/or infected tooth in order to save it. This treatment involves the removal of the infected nerve and soft tissue area inside the tooth and its roots known as the pulp which contains blood vessels, nerves and connective tissues. Once completed, the entire root system is sealed off. This restorative procedure preserves as much of the damaged tooth as possible and saves it from diseases of salivary glands, oral cavity, and jaws.

7. Inlays & Onlays: Inlays and onlays are tooth-colored porcelain fillings used to restore damaged teeth by reinforcing their structure and providing protection when the damage is too extensive for a regular dental filling. Inlays and onlays can fix molars that are damaged by cracks, fractures, or large cavities. These restorations are custom-made to fit the shape and color of your tooth, allowing for comfortable chewing and providing a natural looking appearance.
