Different types of restorations will be suitable in different circumstances, so if you have a damaged tooth that needs to be repaired, you should schedule a consultation at our office to learn about your treatment options.
Our practice prides itself on using the most advanced technology and materials available to offer our patients an efficient treatment process that results in a lifelike appearance of the restored tooth or teeth. Call us today to schedule your consultation!
When determining which restorations will best meet your needs, Drs. Kwon and Jabbour will examine the extent and location of the damage to your tooth or teeth. We will then take imaging, photographs and measurements to inform the design of the restoration.
All of our restorations are tailored to match your unique smile for the most natural appearance possible. We want to be sure that the treated tooth looks no different than its natural neighbor.
Not only are restorative dental treatments customized to fit the aesthetic of your smile, many of these treatments can be provided in a single appointment thanks to our practice’s commitment to the advanced technology and tools that make this possible.
Although modern dental technology offers tooth replacement options that are structurally complete -dental implants – even those devices cannot fully replicate a biological tooth. Therefore, if it’s possible to save your biological tooth, we will make every effort to do so.
Therefore, you must seek restorative dentistry treatments promptly after damage occurs or a cavity is identified. Delaying care can give the condition affecting the tooth the opportunity to progress and may increase the risk that you ultimately lose that tooth.
With a long-term success rate consistently hovering near 98%, dental implants are designed to be permanent replacements for your missing teeth. To find out if dental implants are right for you, contact our dental office in Walnut Creek CA today.
Root canal therapy is also considered to be a restorative dentistry intervention. This procedure saves a biological tooth by removing pulp material that is either infected or at risk for infection, cleans out the empty root canal and places an inert substance in it to prevent re-infection.
In some cases, it may not be feasible to save a biological tooth through restorative dentistry despite our best efforts to do so. In these instances, we restore the smile using lifelike prosthetics ranging from fixed dental bridges to dental implants.
Without the technology featured at our practice, Drs. Kwon and Jabbour would not be able to achieve such optimal results in such a short treatment timeframe. Technology touches on every part of the restorative dentistry process, from designing the restoration to creating it and then placing it.
These are just a few of the types of technology that can benefit you if you get restorative dentistry treatments at our office:
When a tooth needs a restoration, we can often use CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing) technology. We use this technology to custom-design and fabricate tooth-colored restorations, crowns, onlays, inlays, or veneers, all in one appointment. CAD/CAM restorations are often the best choice for a healthy, beautiful, and natural looking smile.
The design generated by our innovative computer software is then relayed to our in-office milling unit that will create your new crown, all in a matter of hours.
This tool can be used in digital design or to create surgical guides.
Three-dimensional images of the surgical field make it easier to plan for dental implant placement and make the procedure more predictable.
