Esthetic Dental Restorations
Esthetic Dental Restorations FAQ
-
Esthetic dental restoration focuses on repairing and restoring teeth affected by decay or damage using materials that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Procedures like tooth-colored fillings and crowns are designed to match the color, shape, and size of your existing teeth, providing both functionality and a pleasing appearance.
Tooth-Colored Fillings: Ideal for treating cavities, these fillings match the natural color of your teeth, making them virtually invisible.
Crowns: These caps cover damaged or decayed teeth entirely, offering strength and a natural look.
Bridges: Custom-made prosthetics that fill gaps left by missing teeth, restoring the appearance and function of your smile.
-
The process begins with a comprehensive examination by Dr. Martinez, who will assess your oral health and discuss your goals. A personalized treatment plan is then created, which may involve multiple procedures such as veneers, crowns, or bonding.
Preparation: The affected teeth are prepared by removing decay or damage. The teeth are then shaped to accommodate the restorations, and impressions are taken to ensure a perfect fit.
Fabrication: Custom restorations are created in a dental lab based on the impressions taken.
Placement: Once the restorations are ready, they are bonded to your teeth using dental adhesive. Adjustments are made to ensure a comfortable and natural fit.
The goal is to achieve a beautiful, natural-looking smile that enhances your confidence and quality of life.
-
Esthetic restoration is suitable for individuals of all ages who have experienced tooth decay or damage. Treatments available at Dr. Martinez’s office include:
Tooth-Colored Fillings: Perfect for small cavities, these fillings seal off the tooth and prevent further decay.
Crowns: Ideal for severely decayed teeth, crowns provide strength and prevent the tooth from deteriorating further.
Bridges: Available in various styles, bridges replace missing teeth and maintain the position of remaining natural teeth.
-
The primary focus of esthetic restoration is to improve oral function, alleviate pain, and enhance the appearance of your smile. Dr. Martinez starts with an oral exam, including digital X-rays and impressions, to plan your treatment.
Quick Treatments: Some services, like tooth-colored fillings, can be completed in a single visit.
Custom Prosthetics: Procedures involving crowns or bridges may require multiple visits. Custom dental prosthetics are fabricated in a lab and fitted in subsequent appointments.
Routine care for esthetic restorations includes regular brushing and flossing. These restorations do not typically require special maintenance.
If your smile has been compromised by damage or decay, esthetic restoration can help. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Martinez online or by phone to explore your options for a healthier, more beautiful smile.
