If you have decayed, damaged, or missing teeth, you have come to the right place. Sandia Heights Dental Care is pleased to offer esthetic tooth-colored restorations, including composite resin fillings, porcelain crowns, and dental bridges.
Tooth-Colored Fillings - An Overview
Tooth-colored fillings are made from a composite resin material that closely matches your natural tooth enamel. In the past, they were only suited for restoring small to mid-sized cavities in the front teeth. However, advances in dental technology and the material’s composition make today's modern tooth-colored restorations ideal for repairing any decayed teeth, even the molars that withstand considerable chewing forces.
Tooth-colored fillings are strong, durable, and bio-compatible. Unlike traditional amalgam fillings, composites bond to your natural tooth structure, fortifying it and minimizing future decay. Moreover, they do not contain metal and do not react to temperature changes as with silver fillings, protecting your teeth and lowering the risk of allergies or tooth sensitivity. Once in place, a tooth-colored filling is almost impossible to tell apart from your natural tooth enamel.
Dental Crowns - An Overview
Dental crowns or "caps" are custom, tooth-shaped restorations that cover weak or damaged teeth, restoring their health, form, and function. At Sandia Heights Dental Care, we offer crowns made of porcelain because of the material's superior strength, durability, and incredibly natural-looking and feeling results.
We may recommend a dental crown to repair a tooth with extensive decay and not enough healthy structure remaining to support a large filling. Other uses of dental crowns include strengthening a tooth after root canal therapy, holding together the pieces of a cracked or fractured tooth, or restoring one or more missing teeth by covering dental implants or supporting dental bridges. Porcelain crowns can also improve the color, shape, size, length, and overall appearance of "not-so-perfect" teeth, delivering beautiful smiles.
Dental Bridges - An Overview
Dental bridges are fixed restorations used to replace one or more adjacent teeth. They are secured to crowns placed on existing teeth on either side of the gap. At Sandia Heights Dental Care, we offer bridges in the same esthetic and durable material as our dental crowns for superior results.
Dental bridges preserve the space left by one or more missing teeth. That helps prevent the surrounding teeth from shifting out of alignment, which could otherwise lead to crooked teeth and problems with the bite. Moreover, leaving a gap in your smile can create an imbalance that causes stress on your jaw joints and increases the risk of periodontal disease. Replacing one or more missing teeth with a dental bridge will enhance your oral health and allow you to speak clearly, enjoy your favorite foods, and smile with confidence once again!
