The Visual Impact
Every restoration we create looks and feels real so that you can smile naturally and confidently. Restorative dentistry can dramatically enhance your appearance by:
- Restoring missing teeth with natural-looking replacements
- Repairing worn, chipped, or fractured teeth
- Filling in gaps to restore balance to your smile
- Enhancing facial structure and jawline alignment
- Ensuring restorations blend naturally with your existing teeth
The Functional Impact
When you restore your smile, you also protect the health and function of your entire mouth for the future. Restorative care also protects your long-term dental health by:
- Stopping additional damage or decay in weakened teeth
- Improving comfort while chewing and speaking
- Promoting proper bite alignment and alleviating jaw tension
- Safeguarding natural teeth with strong crowns or fillings
- Restoring missing teeth to prevent bone loss and tooth movement
Restorative Dentistry Procedures
CEREC Same-Day Crowns: We use CEREC technology to design, mill, and place crowns in a single visit. These natural-looking ceramic restorations strengthen damaged teeth without the wait or discomfort of temporary crowns.
Tooth-Colored Fillings: We restore teeth with composite resin that blends beautifully with your enamel for cavities or small cracks. These fillings are durable, discreet, and built to last.
Bridges and Dental Implants: Missing teeth affect more than your smile—they disrupt your bite and speech. We offer traditional bridges and work with trusted specialists for implant placements, creating lifelike restorations that bring balance back to your smile.
Dentures and Partials: If you’ve lost several teeth, we can design custom full or partial dentures that restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile comfortably. We craft each set to fit securely and look natural.
Inlays and Onlays: For teeth that are too damaged for a filling but don’t require a full crown, we may recommend an inlay or onlay. These restorations fit perfectly to strengthen and protect your tooth structure.
Step-by-Step Process for Restorative Dentistry at Hewitt Ross Dental
We make restoring your smile a seamless and comfortable experience. Here’s a step-by-step look at how we approach restorative dentistry:
1. Schedule Your Consultation
Your journey begins with a consultation, during which we listen closely to your needs and goals. During this visit, we’ll assess your oral health and discuss possible treatment options. We offer flexible financing to make the consultation and recommended procedures more manageable for your budget. Our goal is to help you make an informed decision, so we take the time to explain every step.
2. Comprehensive Evaluation with Advanced Technology
We utilize the latest dental technology to give you an accurate picture of your oral health. Our iTero Digital Scanner and Digital X-rays help us see your teeth and gums in high definition, so we can immediately identify any issues. These technologies allow us to visualize your smile and show you a digital preview of the results before treatment begins.
3. Create a Personalized Treatment Plan
After the evaluation, our team works with you to design a personalized treatment plan. Whether it’s replacing missing teeth, repairing cracks or chips, or improving bite alignment, we take your lifestyle, goals, and oral health into account. We explain all your options, from crowns and fillings to bridges and dentures, so that you can choose the right solution.
4. Comfortable Treatment Experience
Your comfort is our top priority. On the day of your procedure, we’ll ensure you feel relaxed and cared for. You can enjoy cozy blankets, pillows, and TVs in every room. For those feeling anxious, we offer nitrous oxide to help you relax during your visit. We want you to feel at ease from start to finish.
5. Restore Your Smile with Precision
Using state-of-the-art tools like CEREC, we can craft and place restorations such as crowns or bridges in just one visit. If you’re getting a restoration like a crown, the CEREC system allows us to design, mill, and place it all in one appointment, so you leave with a fully restored tooth the same day.
6. Ongoing Care
After your restorative procedure, we provide ongoing care to ensure your new smile stays healthy and functional. Our goal is to help you maintain long-lasting results.
7. Enjoy a Healthier, More Confident Smile
With your smile fully restored, you’ll notice the improvement in both appearance and function. You can chew, speak, and smile confidently knowing your teeth are strong, aligned, and beautiful. Our team is always here to support your oral health and ensure your smile lasts for years.
