craft a smile you’re confident in

When you need to restore the integrity of your smile we are here to help. From cavities to full mouth reconstruction, our staff is highly trained to create a custom treatment plan.


 

Restorative dentistry combines various services to repair or replace damaged or missing teeth. The main goal is to restore teeth function and appearance – while making sure you smile with confidence once again.

No matter how complicated your case might seem to be, our team at Oaktown Family Dentistry will find the proper treatment for you. We have vast experience, and our office is equipped with cutting-edge technology to ensure top-quality restorative dental care.

Restorative dentistry includes the following dental treatments:

  • Metal-Free Fillings

  • Crowns & Bridges

  • Dental Implants

  • Inlays & Onlays

  • Dentures

  • TMJ

  • Full Mouth Reconstruction

We can solve anything from minor problems like small cavities to big complications such as multiple teeth loss. However, we always encourage our patients to visit the office at least every six months to catch dental issues on time and solve them with simpler and equally effective procedures.

  • A crown requires a minimally invasive procedure that will quickly address your dental issues. First, we will place a cap over the injured tooth, which helps return its shape, strength, and appearance. After that, digital impressions are made and your crown will be made in house, the same day!

    A bridge is made up of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap (these anchoring teeth are called abutment teeth) and a false tooth or teeth in between. These false teeth are called pontics and can be made from gold, alloys, porcelain, or a combination of these materials. Dental bridges are supported by natural teeth or implants.

  • Metal-free fillings offer the ability to effectively deal with cavities while maintaining the cosmetic appeal of a bright, white smile.

    Benefits of Metal Free Fillings

    Created to match your tooth to ensure a natural look and feel.

    Because metal-free fillings can be created for smaller restorations, less of your tooth structure is lost and less drilling is needed.

    The material is made from acrylic and glass particles, containing no mercury or other metals.

  • Inlays are molded and fitted into the chewing surface of a tooth that has been damaged through decay or injury. An inlay will fit perfectly into the hollow of the tooth, but they do not affect the cusps. When the dentist takes the digital impression, they also attempt to best match the color of the tooth as closely as possible. This way when they are placed in the mouth they are not noticeable.

    Onlays are used for decay and damage to the cusps of a tooth as well as the biting surface. A dentist will choose an onlay when a cavity is too big to fill with standard amalgam fillings, or that the tooth could crack due to weakness. An onlay will shore up the strength of the tooth along with protecting the decaying area. Unlike an inlay, this area can include the cusps as well as the space in between. The dentist prepares the tooth in a similar fashion to a filling, by drilling out the cavity and cleaning up the area after placing a numbing anesthetic in the mouth.

  • Dental implants offer you the possibility to have a permanent tooth replacement that blends seamlessly with your natural smile!

    Dental implants are small titanium posts directly placed into your jawbone to replace a missing tooth root. The post acts as a foundation for common dental restorations, renewing your ability to speak, chew, and smile with full confidence.

    There are multiple ways implants can be used to restore your smile, including:

    •Replacing a single tooth

    •Replacing multiple teeth

    •Supporting and stabilizing dentures

    With dental implants, you can rediscover the benefits of a fully functional and beautiful smile.

  • Are you unhappy with the shape, color, or overall appearance of your teeth? Our skilled team of dentists is ready to sculpt your smile back to beauty with cosmetic bonding.

    This procedure involves the application of a tooth-colored composite resin to fix the flaws and achieve a drastic smile transformation. As bonding requires virtually no teeth preparation, it is considered a more conservative cosmetic approach that produces exceptional results.

    It is a fast, painless, and cost-effective solution that can be completed in just one visit!
