Restoring a Healthy Smile
Benefits of Restorations
Missing and damaged teeth not only affect the appearance of your smile, but your functionality in everyday life, too. It’s important to address gaps from missing teeth and cracks or other damage to prevent them from causing further problems later on. Dr. Salvatore is skilled at providing beautiful, strong restorations for a return to a healthy, natural-looking smile.
Bridging the Gap
If you’ve lost one or more teeth and have a gap, a bridge may be the best solution for you. We secure the bridge on either side using crowns attached to the remaining teeth. Our bridges are made with high-quality materials for security and appearance, so the bridge blends well with your other teeth. You can be confident in your full smile!
A Crown Protects a Damaged Tooth
Individual crowns are sometimes necessary to save a broken or worn-down tooth when a simple filling will not restore it to full functionality. By surrounding and supporting the healthy tooth structure, a crown will save and even add strength to the damaged tooth. We use the most advanced materials to make your crown. It will look so natural, you won’t be able to distinguish it from a real tooth.
Restoring your Smile with a Full Mouth Rehabilitation
Oral health can have a big impact on someone’s life beyond what regular cleanings and the occasional filling can address. Many patients who have lived with injury, illness, bite problems, and simple wear and tear can have chronic problems that they don’t even realize originated in the mouth. Bruxism (tooth grinding), TMJ, periodontitis, crooked or misshapen teeth, and missing teeth can combine to create headaches and migraines, toothaches, chronic bad breath, and an unattractive smile. But you don’t have to live like that anymore.
Dr. Salvatore will discuss your concerns, symptoms, and goals. After taking digital X-rays, photos, and imprints of your mouth, we will present options for a treatment plan to address these issues and achieve a healthy, pain-free, beautiful smile. We can also talk about phased treatment and financial planning that will help put your dream smile within reach.
