Welcome to Warren Dentistry! We’re here to help fix smiles and make mouths healthy for people of all ages. Our dental services are all about fixing different dental problems, like missing teeth or gum issues. Our goal is to give you a strong and happy smile. With restorative dentistry, we can improve your smile as well as your overall health.
Your smile is not just a set of teeth. It is a window to your entire body. This means that if you have an issue with your mouth, it can eventually affect your health. At Warren Dentistry, we want to treat our Boone patients as a whole person rather than just a mouth.
What is Restorative Dentistry?
Restorative dentistry is all about fixing and making better the way your teeth and gums work and look. If you have things like cavities, missing teeth, gum problems, or issues with your jaw, restorative treatments can help make your smile healthy again. These treatments can also make your life better overall.
Available Treatment Options in Boone, NC
Dr. Warren and our experienced dental team can create a treatment plan to restore your smile completely.
-
Dental Bridges: Dental bridges replace one or more missing teeth. These prosthetic devices consist of artificial teeth (pontics) anchored to neighboring teeth or dental implants. Bridges restore your ability to chew and speak while filling the gaps in your smile.
-
Dental Crowns: Dental crowns, also known as caps, are custom-made restorations that cover a damaged or weakened tooth. They strengthen the tooth and improve its appearance. Furthermore, it can protect it from further damage. We often use crowns to restore broken or severely decayed teeth after root canal treatment.
-
Dental Implants: Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. These small titanium posts are surgically placed into the jawbone. Here, they serve as sturdy anchors for dental crowns, bridges, or dentures. Implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth. Also, they provide a long-lasting solution for tooth loss.
-
Dentures: Dentures are removable appliances used to replace multiple missing teeth. They come in two types: full dentures for patients missing all their teeth and partial dentures for those missing some teeth. Dentures restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile confidently.
-
TMJ Treatment: Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders can cause jaw pain, headaches, and difficulty chewing. Our TMJ treatment options aim to alleviate pain and improve jaw function. This may include custom mouthguards, physical therapy, medication, or, in severe cases, surgery.
- Gum Disease Treatment: Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a common condition that affects the gums and supporting tissues of the teeth. Our gum disease treatments focus on deep cleaning (scaling and root planing), antibiotic therapy, and gum surgery to restore gum health and prevent tooth loss.
Benefits of Restorative Dentistry for Your Health
Restorative dentistry offers numerous benefits beyond a beautiful smile. In fact, it can benefit several aspects of your overall health and wellness.
Improved Oral Health: Restoring damaged teeth and treating gum disease helps prevent further decay and infection. This leads to a healthier mouth. The goal is to reduce your risk of tooth loss and the need for extensive dental work in the future.
Better Nutrition: Missing or damaged teeth can make it difficult to chew properly, leading to dietary limitations. Restorative treatments help restore your ability to eat a balanced diet. As a result, this improves your overall nutrition and well-being.
Better Speech: Missing teeth can affect your speech and pronunciation. Dental bridges, implants, and dentures help restore proper speech patterns, allowing you to communicate clearly and confidently.
Get Rid of Pain: Tooth decay, gum disease, and TMJ disorders can cause significant pain and discomfort. Restorative treatments not only address the underlying issues but also provide relief from pain, headaches, and jaw tension.
Boosted Confidence: A healthy smile can have a positive impact on your self-esteem and confidence. Restoring your teeth with bridges, crowns, or implants can give you the confidence to smile, speak, and socialize without hesitation.
