Restorations
A dental restoration (also known as a filling) is a dental procedure used to restore the form and function of the tooth’s structure. Dental restoration can also refer to the replacement of the missing structures of a tooth supported by dental implants.
In addition to restoring the form and function of a tooth, restorations can - and do - frequently save teeth that would otherwise need to be extracted.
We provide both amalgam and tooth colored (composite) tooth restorations.
Our Restorative Dentistry services include:
Composite Fillings: Composite fillings (a combination of glass or quartz filler mixed in a resin medium) produces a tooth-colored filling. Composite fillings are a good choice for small-to-mid size restorations that need to withstand only moderate chewing pressure. Composite fillings also typically require a smaller filling than traditional amalgam fillings.
In general, the process of placing a composite filling is longer than an amalgam filling and may cost more. At Vienna Family Dentist, we will work closely with you to ensure you are provided with the right procedure to meet your needs and budget.
Crowns (Caps): Composite fillings (a combination of glass or quartz filler mixed in a resin medium) produces a tooth-colored filling. Composite fillings are a good choice for small-to-mid size restorations that need to withstand only moderate chewing pressure. Composite fillings also typically require a smaller filling than traditional amalgam fillings.
While porcelain crowns have their benefits, other crown options may still be a better alternative in some areas of the mouth. In particular, the molars - which do all the heavy chewing and therefore need a more substantial and durable material - are ideal candidates for a non-porcelain crown. At Vienna Family Dentist, we will make recommendations on crown types based on your needs and desires.
Implant Crowns: Implants offer a permanent solution to tooth loss. Additionally, implants may be used with other restorative procedures for maximum effectiveness. For example, a single implant can serve to support a crown replacing a single missing tooth. Implants can also be used to support a dental bridge for the replacement of multiple missing teeth and can be used with dentures to increase stability and reduce gum tissue irritation.
Implants are an increasingly popular alternative to dentures and bridges. Implants provide the most advanced solution for missing teeth, allowing you to talk, eat and smile with confidence. They have many advantages, including their natural appearance, improved comfort and unequaled convenience. If you are considering implants, we can discuss the considerations and help you make the decision that is right
