Modern dentistry has evolved into a number of specialized fields that can address almost any dental health problem and help patients keep their natural teeth in good health for a lifetime!
Restorative dental procedures can repair and strengthen a damaged tooth, avoiding the need for a tooth extraction. It is always in the best interest of a patient to keep their natural teeth as this also supports a healthy bite: losing a tooth can lead to bone loss in the jaw and shifting of other teeth which can disrupt the natural function of the bite.
At Coastal Cosmetic Dentistry in Virginia Beach, Dr. Cappy Sinclair, DDS offers restorative dentistry and specializes in treating complex dental problems, offering advanced dentistry techniques and dental technology. In many cases, restorations can be completed in a single visit with CAD/CAM technology E4D.
Restorative dentistry can also replace a tooth that is missing or too damaged to repair. Virginia Beach restorative dentist Dr. Sinclair offers dental implants and dental bridges for patients who have lost a tooth. Dental implants offer the most comfortable, natural looking and functioning results and can also help to stabilize bone loss because of the implanted post that fuses with the bone and becomes a natural part of a patient’s occlusal system.
Restorative Procedures:
Dental veneers: also used for cosmetic changes, veneers can also be used to repair minor tooth damage and maintain the integrity of a natural tooth.
Dental bridges: bridges can be used as a conservative method to replace a missing tooth, or teeth, using neighboring teeth as support for a custom fit prosthetic tooth.
Dental implants: often considered the best long term option for replacing missing teeth, implants function much like a natural tooth.
Dental crowns: a dental crown is often used to repair a damaged or decayed tooth, providing a “cap” that will strengthen and secure the tooth.
Restorative dentistry can help you have a lifetime of healthy smiles!
