Restorative Dentistry

Restorative dentistry is a field dedicated to restoring the health and function of damaged or missing teeth. Our restorative dentistry options at Avalon Dental Care include the following:

Tooth-Colored Dental Fillings: Our aesthetic fillings are crafted from a tooth-colored composite resin material that provides a seamless solution for cavity repair. In the past, these white fillings were suitable for only small to mid-sized cavities in teeth that showed when you smiled. Today's tooth-colored filling materials are stronger and more durable than ever, providing a discreet and natural solution for repairing any tooth, even the molars that endure significant chewing pressure.

Dental Crowns: Dental crowns are tooth-colored caps that fully encase weak or damaged teeth, restoring their health and function. At Avalon Dental Care, we offer the highest-quality crown materials, including porcelain and zirconia, which are known for their strength, durability, and beautifully natural results. Dental crowns are used to protect weak teeth, repair damaged teeth, fortify teeth after root canal therapy, and replace missing teeth by covering dental implants or supporting dental bridges. They can also make cosmetic modifications, improving the color, size, length, alignment, and overall appearance of teeth.

Dental Bridges: Dental bridges are fixed restorations that can replace one missing tooth or several teeth in a row. They are anchored to dental crowns on natural teeth on either side of the gap, providing a long-term tooth restoration solution. Our dental bridges are created from the same high-quality materials as dental crowns, enhancing the health and function of your smile. Dental bridges not only complete your smile but also prevent your neighboring teeth from shifting out of alignment, improving your oral health.

Complete Dentures: If you are missing all your teeth in one or both arches, we may recommend a complete denture. Immediate dentures are created ahead of time and placed after extracting any remaining failing teeth. However, as the area heals, your mouth will change shape, so your dentures may no longer provide the ideal fit. Conventional dentures, on the other hand, are created from impressions of your mouth after the area heals. Our aesthetic and durable restorations provide a long-term solution for replacing a full arch of missing teeth and enhancing your smile's health and function.

Partial Dentures: If you are missing several teeth, we may recommend a partial denture to fill gaps in your smile. We are pleased to offer conventional partial dentures consisting of metal frameworks that support prosthetic teeth made to match your smile. We also offer flexible partials made from a more lightweight, flexible material.
