Restorative Dentistry Q&A

What is restorative dentistry?

Restorative dentistry repairs and replaces damaged or lost teeth to restore your smile. Shabani Dental has state-of-the-art technologies like 3D scanners and employs cutting-edge techniques to perform restorative procedures.

The team uses their expertise in restorative dentistry to ensure your smile looks natural and you have fully functioning teeth.

What problems can restorative dentistry fix?

You could suffer various problems with your teeth, including periodontal (gum) disease, tooth decay that causes cavities, and trauma.

In some cases, it’s possible to rebuild the tooth, but if there isn’t any healthy tooth to save or you lose teeth, you might need to replace the entire tooth.

Whatever problems you experience, Shabani Dental offers first-class specialized evaluations, treatments, and aftercare.

What restorative dentistry procedures are available?

Restorative dentistry procedures available at Shabani Dental include:

 

Customized dental crowns

Dental crowns are caps that go over a tooth and cover all of its sides. Traditional crowns take time to make, but now your dentist can make and fit a crown on the same day. The Shabani Dental team uses zirconia, Emax (lithium disilicate), and porcelain crowns — the most advanced, reliable materials available.

 

Onlays

Onlays cover the surface of teeth damaged by cavities. They match your natural tooth color, are less expensive than crowns, and won’t involve removing the tooth’s interior.

 

Inlays

Inlays restore decayed areas in a tooth’s cusps or fissures (the biting surface). They create an attractive tooth while providing a robust surface for chewing.

 

Veneers

Veneers are thin restorations that attach to the tooth’s front surface. They correct tooth shape, size, and color, covering teeth toward the front of your mouth that are misshapen or too short.

 

Dental bridges

Bridges hold a crown in place between your remaining teeth. They’re caps that fit onto the healthy teeth, securing the crown on either side of a gap. Some dental bridges can hold multiple crowns in place.

 

Fillings

Fillings use color-matching composite resins to fill holes in your teeth.

 

Dentures

Dentures are complete or partial replacements for lost teeth. They’re made from plastic resin, which your dentist designs to match your natural teeth.

 

Dental implants

Dental implants are permanent replacement roots that screw into your jawbone. Crowns fixed on posts above the gumline look and perform like natural teeth, offering the most long-lasting, secure solution to missing teeth.
