You don’t have to live with damaged teeth: dental restoration is fast, easy, and can make a big difference in the function and appearance of your teeth. Please contact us today to schedule a restorative dentistry consultation with our skilled and attentive dental care team.
Crowns
Crowns are an excellent dental restoration option for teeth that are decayed, cracked, or broken to the point where a filling is not enough to hold the tooth together and prevent further damage. Crowns can also be used to strengthen a weak tooth, or to enhance a tooth’s appearance.
During the procedure, all of the damaged tooth material is removed, and your custom-made crown is permanently cemented onto the remaining tooth structure. Crowns seal off the damaged area and restore normal function to the tooth, so eating and speaking are not affected. Crowns can be made of metal or tooth-colored material – both types are durable and comfortable.
Bridges
If you have a missing tooth, not only is your appearance affected, your overall dental health may be at risk. This is because your other teeth tend to drift toward the space left by the missing tooth, setting off a chain reaction of alignment, bite, and gapping problems throughout your mouth. One of the best ways to prevent these problems is to replace the missing tooth with a bridge. 
A bridge is a prosthetic, natural-colored tooth that is permanently anchored into place with crowns that are placed onto the adjoining teeth. Bridges are particularly effective because they fill the gap left by the missing tooth, prevent your other teeth from drifting, and maintain the health and beauty of your smile.
Inlays and Onlays
Inlays and onlays are a restoration option when something more than a filling, but less than a full crown, is needed to restore the appearance and function of a tooth. Typically, inlays and onlays are considered in cases of dental decay, or when old fillings have weakened or broken and need to be replaced. These custom-made restorations can be made of metal or tooth-colored material. Inlays fill the space where the decay or the old filling was, while onlays go on the exterior surface to build up the tooth to its normal dimensions. Dr. Sutherland and his team are pleased to offer the new CEREC® technology, our in-office service that custom-makes inlays and onlays so they can be placed on your teeth in just one appointment.
Dentures
Over time, your teeth can wear down, decay, become dull and brittle, and may even require removal. Besides being unattractive, aging teeth can cause problems with eating and speaking. If this is the case for you or a loved one, dentures may be the best solution to restore dental health and satisfaction with your appearance. Dr. Sutherland and his team provide advanced denture solutions that are comfortable, natural-looking, and easy to care for. Whether you require a full set of dentures, or a partial set to replace only a few teeth, we can help your smile stay attractive and functional for many years to come.
Dental Implants
For a permanent, lifelike replacement of a missing tooth, dental implants are the most technologically advanced solution. Dr. Sutherland works with a nearby oral surgeon to offer this excellent restoration service. First, the oral surgeon will place a metal post into the jawbone beneath the missing tooth. The jawbone eventually fuses together with this post, which serves as a new “root” for your tooth. Then, one of our dentists will attach a custom-made prosthetic tooth to the new root. Dental implants are strong, natural-looking, and impervious to stains. With normal brushing and flossing, these durable restorations can last a lifetime. They can be used to replace one missing tooth, or even an entire set of teeth. If you are interested in dental implants or any of our other dental restoration options, please contact us today. We’re ready to help your smile look great again!
