From cavity repair to full-mouth rehabilitation, restorative dentistry to the rescue!
It is an exciting time to be a dentist! Forward-thinking practices like Williams Dental Studio have invested in the techniques, technologies, materials, and products to rebuild teeth and tissues to optimally replicate the structure, appearance, and function of a natural tooth and its “supports.” When Dr. Jessica Williams cannot preserve a portion or even all of a natural tooth, she can rebuild that tooth with restorative dentistry.
Rehabilitation for every smile
Our practice in Stockbridge, Georgia, takes great pride in treating patients of all ages, needs, backgrounds, and walks of life. We take the time to really get to know each individual’s personal preferences and goals. All of this information is then accounted for when developing a treatment plan that gets desirable results. The appropriate treatment to restore the health and aesthetics of your smile depends on considering several factors, including the following:
- Presence of existing teeth
- Health or condition of remaining teeth
- Total number of healthy teeth
- Density and condition of the jawbone
- Appearance and health of the gums and other supportive tissues
- Biocompatibility, or history of adverse reactions and sensitivities to certain dental materials
- Location and function of damaged teeth
- Habits and behaviors; for instance, chronic teeth grinding
More conservative restorative care may be in order, depending on what Dr. Williams finds during her exam and as a result of a consultation with you. Notably, dental fillings are appropriate for cavities or holes that form in the teeth as the result of the progressive decay process. For larger cavities, dental inlays, onlays, or even crowns may provide the structural support that is needed to strengthen weaker teeth. Our crowns may be made from various high-performance materials, such as zirconia ceramic, luminous and highly stain-resistant porcelain, and uber-strong gold. In fact, crowns may be the only way to preserve a severely damaged tooth. They restore the strength of a tooth that is treated with root canal therapy. This approach is an attractive alternative to extracting or removing a tooth with deep decay or damage to its innermost structure.
When teeth cannot be saved through other means, Dr. Williams will discuss options for prompt replacement of missing or failing teeth. Today’s modern options range from precision-fit partials and complete dentures to fixed dental bridges and crowns, bridges, and dentures supported by dental implants. Each precisely positioned implant functions as a tooth root to hold the restoration in place. This option is the closest thing that dentists have to replicating or mimicking the design of natural and healthy teeth.
This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to options available at Williams Dental Studio to renew your smile and restore your confidence, chewing comfort, and other essential aspects of your life.
