What is Restorative Dentistry?
Restorative dentistry focuses on restoring the function and appearance of your teeth. This includes treating issues such as cavities, damaged teeth, and tooth loss. Our goal is to help you eat, speak, and smile comfortably by providing effective solutions tailored to your needs.
Benefits of Restorative Dentistry
Restorative dentistry offers numerous benefits that go beyond just fixing your teeth. By addressing dental issues promptly, restorative treatments can prevent further complications and the need for more extensive procedures in the future. Restorative dentistry also improves your ability to chew and speak, which can enhance your overall quality of life. Additionally, restoring your teeth can boost your self-esteem and confidence, allowing you to smile without hesitation. With effective restorative solutions, you can maintain a healthy, functional mouth for years to come.
Our Restorative Services
To meet the needs of our Reno patients, we offer a wide range of restorative procedures. We want to help our patients achieve a strong, healthy smile.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are custom-made caps that fit over damaged or weakened teeth. They restore the tooth’s shape and strength, providing protection from further damage. Crowns can be used after a root canal, to repair broken teeth, or to improve the appearance of discolored teeth. We ensure that our crowns match the color and shape of your natural teeth for a seamless look.
Dental Bridges
If you’re missing one or more teeth, a dental bridge can help fill the gap. Bridges consist of one or more artificial teeth anchored by crowns on the adjacent teeth. This solution not only restores your smile but also improves your ability to chew and speak while preventing the shifting of remaining teeth.
Dental Implants
For a permanent solution to missing teeth, dental implants are an excellent choice. An implant involves placing a small titanium post in the jawbone, which serves as an artificial tooth root. Once healed, a custom-made crown is attached, providing a natural-looking replacement. Implants help maintain jawbone structure and are designed to last a lifetime with proper care.
Dentures
If you have lost several or all of your teeth, we offer custom-made dentures. These can be full (replacing all teeth) or partial (replacing some teeth). Our dentures are designed for comfort and a natural appearance, helping you eat and speak with confidence.
Gum Disease Treatment
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a common condition that can lead to tooth loss if not treated. At Great Basin Dental, we provide effective treatments to manage gum disease. This may include professional cleanings, scaling and root planing, and personalized home care instructions. Our goal is to help you keep your gums healthy and prevent further complications.
TMJ Treatment
TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders can cause pain and discomfort in your jaw and the muscles around it. If you experience jaw pain, headaches, or trouble chewing, we offer treatments to help relieve TMJ symptoms. Our team will work with you to find the best approach for your situation, whether it’s a custom mouthguard, physical therapy, or other therapies.
