Repairing Smiles with Dental Restorations
Restorative treatments can help repair damage and prevent decay in teeth that have sustained trauma or developed cavities.
Damaged, decayed or missing teeth can have a negative impact on your oral health by contributing to the buildup of plaque and other debris, ultimately leading to additional tooth decay or gum disease.
Did you know that oral health issues can also lead to overall health problems? Poor oral health can leave you with an increased risk of infection which may contribute to issues like heart disease. By restoring your smile, we help prevent serious complications and improve your quality of life.
Dental Crowns
Crowns are porcelain caps that are placed on top of teeth to restore their function and appearance. Crowns are used to attach bridges, cover dental implants or prevent a cracked tooth from worsening. They can also help to restore a discoloured or stained tooth to its natural appearance.
Dental Bridges
Bridges are natural-looking tooth replacements that are bonded to existing teeth or dental implants to replace a section of missing teeth. Because they are custom-made to match your smile, bridges are barely noticeable and can restore the natural contour of teeth and the bite between upper and lower teeth.
Temporomandibular Joint Disorder Treatment
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a hinge that connects your jaw to the temporal bones of your skull. The disorder of this joint can cause a host of painful issues with your jaw and the muscles in your face. If you are experiencing jaw pain, our dentists can test for, diagnose and provide a treatment plan, which can involve realigning your bite to relieve symptoms.
Full & Partial Dentures
Dentures are removable appliances that are constructed to replace one missing tooth or several in a row (partial dentures), or a whole jaw of missing teeth (full dentures). Dentures can help prevent your remaining teeth from shifting out of place, preserve your facial structure, and maintain your ability to speak and chew.
CEREC Same-Day Restorations
Using CEREC technology, your dentist can create and place porcelain crowns, inlays and onlays to help restore your smile in a single dental appointment. No messy impressions or temporary restorations are necessary so you can enjoy a complete, functional smile as quickly and conveniently as possible.
Root Canals
If the inner pulp of a tooth becomes infected, your dentist can perform a root canal to help save it. During this procedure, your dentist removes diseased blood vessels, nerves and tissues from the interior of a tooth. By removing the decay and bacteria, your dentist can help halt the spread of infection and prevent the need for an extraction.
Dental Fillings
When tooth decay has caused a cavity to form or an injury leaves you with imperfections, you may need a filling to restore your tooth. At Ocean Dental, we use composite fillings to repair a cavity or tooth damage, like a crack. A dental filling will blend in with the natural tooth and can withstand regular wear and tear so they can be used on both the front and back teeth.
