Dental damage can be demoralizing, but it doesn’t have to be a death sentence for your smile. Our Elmhurst dentists offer a range of restorative treatments to help patients smile confidently after dental trauma. All restorative cases are unique, so it’s crucial that you find a treatment plan that meets your specific needs. Keep reading to get more information about some of the restorative solutions we provide…
Root canal therapy: if you have a severely damaged tooth, our team may perform root canal therapy in order to clear away the compromised dental materials in the core of the tooth. Root canal treatment can literally save teeth that would otherwise fall out or need to be pulled.
Dental bonding: this is one of the quickest restorative treatments out there. Our dental team uses custom-shaded composite resin to rebuild teeth and fill in cracks and chips. Once the resin has hardened and cured to the tooth, it is visually indistinguishable from natural enamel.
Custom crowns: personalized tooth-colored crowns look natural and help preserve the health and functionality of the patient’s smile.
Veneers: these thin porcelain restorations are bonded to the patient’s existing tooth structure in order to transform the visible tooth. Veneers can cover dental damage and irregularly shaped and shaded enamel. We also use veneers to close gaps between teeth and make a patient’s smile appear straighter and more seamless.
Dental implants: these replacement teeth are actually grounded—via a titanium root—into the patient’s jawbone. Dental implants deliver permanent results, and are customized to look natural, and to preserve healthy bite function and dental alignment for the patient. Our team also uses strategically-placed implant roots to secure larger dental prostheses, like dentures.
As you can see, you have a number of effective and patient-friendly treatment options when it comes time to address dental damage. Our Elmhurst restorative dentists are here to give you any additional information that you may need, and to help you choose the perfect solution for your smile.
