Elmhurst Dentists Explains How Various Levels Of Dental Damage Are Treated

Written by Dr. Scharfenberg on Apr 3, 2018

Even when we are doing everything that we can to care for our smiles, sometimes dental damage pops up anyway. Our Elmhurst dentists understand this, which is why we work so hard to provide a number of restorative treatments to patients of all ages.

In this short article we’ll be outlining some of the treatments that we regularly employ in order to correct existing dental damage. Let’s get started!

The dental crown is a tried and true restorative option that can help a patient regain a healthy smile after dental damage. Crowns are used to repair teeth after dental infection or considerable dental damage. The crowns that our dental team places are natural looking, white, and metal free restorations. Once your crown is in place it will look great, and help you jump back into your normal daily routine,

Dental bonding is another treatment that we use in order to correct damaged dental enamel. When dental enamel gets cracked or chipped, our dental team can use dental resin to fill in these weak spots, and fortify the tooth. Because dental resin can be shaded to suit the individual patient, the finished aesthetic result is very attractive.

Some patients achieve their desired results by using porcelain veneers to cover damaged teeth. Because veneers are designed to cover the visible surfaces of the patient’s teeth they can completely transform the patient’s smile. Every veneer is shaped and shaded to deliver natural looking results. Once veneers are in place, they are easy to care for, and stay in place 24/7.

These are just some of the treatments that we most commonly use in order to help people reclaim healthy and whole smiles. If you want to learn even more about the restorative treatments that we offer here in our office, please call our Elmhurst dentists to get started!
