Restorative dentistry solutions to repair the smile
Restorative dentistry is best described as the field of dental work that focuses on repairing the smile when damage has occurred. This may be periodontal disease, tooth decay, or even trauma to the smile. Our doctors at Kennebec Dental Excellence work with patients to provide this and many other services to new and current patients and families in his community.
What restorative dentistry treatments are available with the team at Kennebec Dental Excellence?
Dr. Bue and his team are pleased to offer a wide selection of dental treatments and services to restore the smile. Below are just some of our more commonly requested restorative dentistry treatments available at our facility:
- Dental bonding. Composite resin materials are used when offering dental bonding, as this material looks just like natural tooth enamel and can repair specific areas where imperfections are present. Dental bonding can address gapped, chipped, or misaligned teeth with ease.
- Dental fillings. Dental fillings are used to treat areas of decay. We use composite resin materials as a filling, primarily due to their aesthetic appearance and biocompatibility with the human body.
- Dental implants. Missing teeth are replaceable with dental implants, which are titanium posts designed to act as natural tooth root replacements. A surgical procedure is performed to place the implants into the jawbone to provide a strong foundation for a restoration such as a crown, bridge, or denture.
- Dental bridges. Dental bridges help “bridge the gap” that missing teeth have left behind. Dental bridges are an easy, fixed restoration that can replace one or more teeth in a row using false teeth known as pontics and affixed with dental crowns to adjust teeth.
- Dentures. We are pleased to offer partial dentures, full dentures, and overdentures for patients with tooth loss.
