The term “restorative dentistry” applies to treatments that repair damaged teeth and restore the mouth to optimal function. These procedures often include the use of customized restorations to replace or support teeth that have suffered damage or decay. At Newport Beach Dental, our experienced dentists utilize the most advanced techniques and technology to craft durable restorations and deliver exceptional care. By recognizing the individual needs of each patient, we are able to consistently provide top-of-the-line results in restorative dentistry.
Dental implants are widely recognized as one of the most reliable and adaptable solutions for replacing missing teeth. Crafted from durable, high-quality titanium, each implant is designed to replicate the look and function of a natural tooth. Beyond restoring your ability to bite and smile with confidence, dental implants can help preserve jawbone density by acting like a natural tooth root, stimulating the bone and supporting long-term oral health.
As the medical term for the treatment and study of dental pulp, the most common example of endodontics is a root canal, which serves to remove infected tissue and alleviate severe pain associated with a tooth infection. Our dentists have each performed a number of root canals throughout their careers and always do their best to create an experience that’s as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
At Newport Beach Dental, we use custom dental crowns to strengthen and protect teeth that are damaged or weakened. Using precise digital impressions, each crown is crafted to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth and fit snugly over the vulnerable tooth. Crowns are often used in combination with other treatments (namely dental implants) to restore both function and aesthetics.
Dental bridges can be a great strategy for replacing one or more missing teeth in a row. These restorations “bridge” the gap by anchoring to the healthy teeth on either side of the space, restoring function and appearance. In addition to completing your smile, bridges can help preserve facial shape, improve your bite, and prevent neighboring teeth from drifting out of alignment.
Cavities are a widespread oral health concern throughout the United States. While metal amalgam fillings were once the standard treatment for cavities, tooth-colored fillings have largely replaced them as the most sought-after filling available. They generally hold several advantages over their metal counterparts, not limited to a more aesthetically pleasing and natural look among surrounding teeth.
We always do everything we can to preserve your natural teeth, but in some cases, removing a severely damaged or infected tooth is the healthiest choice for your smile. If our dentists determine that a tooth extraction is necessary, you can trust that you’ll be in caring, capable hands. We will walk you through every step of the process – from procedure to recovery to potential tooth replacement options. As always, your comfort, safety, and satisfaction are our top priorities.
