Read on to learn about the restorative procedures we offer.
- Crowns - Occasionally, a tooth weakened by advanced decay or a significant crack requires a dental crown. The crown covers the damaged tooth to restore form and function. We offer several excellent materials for creating custom-made crowns – ceramic, all porcelain, porcelain fused to metal, and gold. Depending upon the location of the compromised tooth, Dr. Byars will recommend the best option. Read about crowns here.
- Crowns and Bridges - A bridge, which is a row of fused prosthetic teeth, can permanently fill an unsightly gap that destroys your smile's beauty and function. We coordinate with a reputable lab to create bridgework that fits snugly and comfortably and appears indistinguishable from natural teeth. Many smiles have been rehabilitated through time-tested crown and bridge systems; ask us how this procedure can work for you! Click here for more information about bridges.
- Fillings - Tooth decay will spread if not repaired, so Dr. Byars offers tooth-colored fillings made from composite resin, which provide a strong hold and custom color match. Alternatively, we can use traditional amalgam fillings upon request. We will preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible when preparing a tooth for a filling because natural, healthy tissue is a precious commodity. Learn more about fillings here.
- Full Mouth Reconstruction - After a significant tooth loss caused by an accident, disease, or injury, a smile may seem beyond repair. However, with our comprehensive full mouth reconstructions, any mouth can regain a strong, healthy, comfortable smile. We meet the most challenging of restoration cases with enthusiasm and skill and always use the patient's desired results as the goal. Let us give you back the smile you’ve lost. Call or e-mail us now for a full-mouth analysis.
- Implant Restoration - With our meticulous eyes for detail and skillful touch, we can restore damaged implants to their original splendor or place new restorations on your implant posts. For a seamless smile that you can depend on for years, call us to schedule an implant restoration consultation. Read about dental implants in our library.
- Root Canals - Many people hear “root canal” and immediately panic. But if you knew how crucial this procedure is to preserving your tooth’s structure, you may see it in a different light. We use modern, comfortable root canals to treat inflamed nerve tissue within a decaying tooth, relieve your pain, and stop infection from spreading. After we carefully remove the nerve tissue, we fill the interior of the tooth to keep the structure intact. Special patient comfort measures, such as anti-anxiety medications and local anesthesia, make root canals just another dental visit. You can be sure that out gentle and compassionate staff make your experience pleasant and rewarding. Review more information about root canals.
