Restorative Dental Services Provided•Fillings •Crowns •Fixed Bridges •Implant Restoration •Root Canals Fillings are able to keep your teeth healthy and free of decay. When there is a form of decay, such as a cavity, we can fill the tooth with either a tooth-colored filling or a silver amalgam filling after removing the decay. When restoring with a tooth-colored filling, it matches your tooth color almost perfectly, blending effortlessly. Crowns also protect your smile, but in a different way. When a tooth has been severely damaged, a crown protects that tooth from any further harm. Crowns are also known as a dental cap because of the way it covers the tooth. Fixed bridges are different, as they are a row of prosthetic teeth that are attached. Fixed bridges are used to replace missing teeth, and are completely custom made to match the rest of the teeth in your smile. Dental crowns make your fixed bridges permanent, giving you a full, lovely smile. Dental implants are wonderful, and they are the more permanent solution to having missing teeth. We work with a surgeon to embed a titanium screw in your jaw bone, which will fuse with your natural bone over time. A crown is placed on top, giving you a completely new smile! Root canals are performed when there has been severe damage and decay to a tooth. The damaged pulp has the potential to affect the nerves in your mouth, and root canals are able to stop that from happening. Dr. Clarisa will remove the infected pulp, fill it, and put a crown to protect it from further harm. In severe cases, we will happily refer to an Endodontist. No matter which restorative dentistry option you choose, you can be sure that everyone at Peregrine Family Dentistry promises to make your experience the best and most comfortable. |
