Your smile plays an important role in your general appearance. That’s why it can be really devastating when something happens to it. Whether it’s an injury, tooth decay, or misalignment, Dr. Gabriel has the perfect solution for you in the form of restorative dentistry. Our practice provides various treatment options to improve the condition of your teeth while improving your self-confidence at the same time.
Experienced dentists everywhere like Dr. Gabriel consider dental implants to be the gold standard in restorative dentistry. Unlike other dental treatments, these restorations are custom designed to stay permanent in your mouth while blending in with the rest of your smile. The way it works is that Dr. Gabriel inserts them directly to your jawbone, providing the implant with a stable foundation while also promoting further bone growth.
No matter if you’ve lost one, several, or all of your teeth — dental implants can help give you a complete, beautiful smile. Learn how Dr. Gabriel and our team can find an implant solution that’ll give you a long-lasting set of pearly whites.
Dr. Gabriel will do everything he can to care for your natural teeth. However, if a tooth is too infected or poses a threat to the rest of your smile, he may recommend a tooth extraction. This type of restorative procedure is only conducted as a last resort when all other treatment options have been exhausted. You’ll be given anesthesia during your tooth extraction to ensure you don’t feel any pain or discomfort during the procedure.
Most patients think that tooth extractions hurt your smile, but it can actually save it. By immediately removing a severely damaged or infected tooth, you’re protecting the rest of your smile. Best of all, we can replace your tooth with a beautiful dental implant.
Tooth loss is a natural part of life for many people. But that doesn’t mean you have to go through your daily routine with an incomplete smile. That’s where dentures come in. Our team can give you a smile that looks completely natural while also improving your oral health. One of the advantages of dentures is that they’re affordable when it comes to replacing multiple or entire arches of missing teeth.
Dr. Gabriel offers a variety of comfortable dentures to address your oral health needs. He even provides implant-supported dentures, which combine the convenience of dentures with the durability of dental implants, preventing common issues like bone disintegration.
These restorations can be used to improve the look of your existing teeth and help replace missing ones as well. Dental crowns are protective caps that are designed to fit over a natural tooth, specifically after it has undergone treatment. Not only that, dental crowns are also used to top off dental implants, creating a stunning restoration that blends with your smile. Along with being completely natural, you won’t even notice you have a dental crown.
Dr. Gabriel also specializes in dental bridges to help replace more than one adjacent missing tooth. A dental bridge can fill the gap by using your replacement teeth to support a dental crown over the missing tooth. That way, you’ll have a complete smile that’s also affordable.
The length of your restorative procedure depends on what type of treatment you’re receiving, as well as the severity of the dental issue being addressed. Minor restorations like dental crowns and bridges can be completed in a few appointments, while complex procedures like dental implants can take several months. Your dentist will provide you with a more accurate treatment timeline during your restorative dentistry consultation.
Yes! A majority of restorative procedures can fix any number of dental issues while enhancing the appearance of your smile in the process. Your dentist may recommend a series of restorative procedures to fix your teeth and keep them beautiful for years to come. Schedule a consultation to get the quality dental care your smile deserves.
A missing tooth can impact much more than just your smile’s appearance and should be replaced as soon as possible. Not only can the jawbone start to degrade, but your surrounding teeth can shift out of place and change the shape of your face. Over time, missing teeth can lead to decay, gum disease, and additional complications that may require more expenses. If you’re suffering from missing teeth, it’s important to receive immediate dental care.
It depends. Most dental insurance plans cover at least a portion of the expenses of restorative dental procedures. While routine restorations like dental bridges are often covered at a higher rate, major restorative work like dental implants may be covered less. It’s recommended that you reach out to your insurance provider to get a more accurate understanding of your benefits.
