Restorative Dentistry
Portland, OR
Composite Fillings: keep your teeth looking beautiful and healthy with white, tooth colored restorations that match your natural tooth structure.
Amalgam Fillings: our office is mercury free. Amalgam fillings may be placed in special circumstances or upon specific request.
Dental Crowns: restore broken or decayed teeth. A dental crown (or cap) is a covering that encases the entire tooth surface, restoring its original shape and size.
Dental Bridges: a fixed (non-removable) appliance that restores one or more missing teeth. A bridge involves two crowns on adjacent teeth connected by a pontic that replaces the missing tooth.
Implant Crowns: a titanium post is surgically inserted into the bone and connects to a crown to replace one or more missing teeth. Dental implants allow for replacement of missing teeth without harming natural adjacent teeth.
Removable Partial Dentures: a removable appliance consisting of metal and plastic that replaces several missing teeth.
Complete Dentures: a plastic set of false teeth that replaces the missing dentition. Dentures may be strengthened and supported by dental implants.
Root Canal Therapy: trauma, cavities, or infection may require removal of the nerve from within a tooth and replacement with an antibacterial synthetic material.
Apicoectomy and Root Filling: when conventional root canal therapy fails, the tooth may require a root end filling be placed surgically form outside the tooth.
Extractions: a tooth may need to be removed if it cannot be saved with a filling, crown, or root canal therapy.
Wisdom teeth, or 3rd molars, are the last teeth to enter the mouth and are often removed due to discomfort, lack of space, poor positioning, cavities, or tooth crowding.
Dental bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure that is performed right in the office and is typically completed in one visit. The bonding is a resin material that mimics the color of your surrounding teeth. It helps to improve the appearance of teeth that have become stained, chipped or excessively decayed. |
