Restorative Dentistry at Santa Rosa Dentistry and Implant Center: Reclaim Your Healthy Smile
Dental issues can arise from various factors, including decay, disease, neglect, or genetics. At Santa Rosa Dentistry and Implant Center in Santa Rosa, California, we recognize that your teeth and gums might need repair and reconstruction over time. While preventive care is crucial, we are here to provide expert restorative treatments when your smile requires extensive dental work. Dr. Wayne Sutton and our dedicated team are committed to helping you restore your oral health, function, and aesthetics with high-quality reconstructive dental care.
What is Restorative Dentistry?
Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing and rebuilding damaged or missing teeth to restore oral health and function. It encompasses a range of treatments designed to address issues such as tooth decay, tooth loss, and structural damage. At Santa Rosa Dentistry and Implant Center, we offer a variety of restorative procedures tailored to meet your specific needs and enhance your smile.
What Treatments Are Available for Restorative Dentistry?
- Dental Fillings: Dental fillings are used to treat minor tooth decay and cavities. We use tooth-colored composite fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. This material not only provides effective protection against bacteria but also maintains the aesthetic appearance of your smile by matching the shade of your surrounding teeth.
- Dental Crowns: If a tooth is severely decayed or damaged, it may be at risk of extraction. Dental crowns restore the tooth’s structure and protect it from further harm. Crafted from high-quality materials such as porcelain or zirconia, crowns are designed to enhance both the function and appearance of your tooth.
- Fountain of Youth (FOY) Dentures: For those dealing with tooth loss, FOY dentures offer a revolutionary solution. Unlike traditional dentures, FOY dentures are designed using neuromuscular dentistry principles. This approach ensures a superior fit that stabilizes your face, lips, and cheeks, creating a youthful appearance without the need for invasive surgical facelifts.
- Implant-Based Restorations: Dental implants are deemed the most durable and predictable solution for tooth replacement. An implant consists of a titanium post embedded in the jawbone to replace the natural tooth root. Once the implant integrates with the bone, an abutment and a dental prosthetic (crown or bridge) are attached to restore your smile. Implants provide a natural look and feel, making them ideal for replacing single, multiple, or all missing teeth.
- Dental Bridges: Dental bridges are used to fill gaps created by missing teeth. Traditional bridges are supported by crowns placed on adjacent healthy teeth. However, many patients opt for implant-supported bridges to avoid altering healthy teeth. Our Prettau® Implant Bridges use dental implants to anchor a zirconia bridge, offering exceptional durability and a natural appearance without chipping, staining, or discoloration.
What Can I Expect from Restorative Dentistry?
During your initial consultation, Dr. Sutton will evaluate your oral health and discuss your treatment options. We use advanced technology and medical-grade materials to ensure that your restorative treatments are both effective and aesthetically pleasing. Our goal is to provide you with a functional, beautiful smile that enhances your overall well-being.
