Cavities are the most common issue treated by restorative dentistry, and at Alliance Family Dentistry, we offer composite fillings to treat cavities and restore your teeth. Composite fillings are tooth-colored, making them a great choice when considering the aesthetics of the teeth. They are a strong and durable option that can keep your smile healthy and beautiful for years to come. Contact us now to schedule your appointment with a Colorado Springs dentist, and get the help you need for cavities.
First, your dentist will take impressions, scans, and photos of your teeth, which will be sent to a dental lab where your crowns will be manufactured by experienced technicians. Once your crowns are ready, they're sent back to your dentist for the final fitting and placement. Your dental crowns will look and feel natural, and last several years.
Dental bridges attach to two of your healthy teeth using dental crowns. Between them, one or more false teeth or “pontics” will be suspended to cover up gaps in your smile. Bridges are usually used to restore 1-3 adjacent missing teeth. They are a great alternative to other treatments like dental implants and partial dentures.
Full dentures consist of an acrylic base with a full set of upper or lower false teeth. They fit directly over your gums to restore your smile and your bite, allowing you to smile, eat, speak, and live a normal day-to-day life after tooth loss.
Full dentures are usually only recommended if you have already lost most or all of your teeth due to serious dental trauma or a chronic oral health issue like uncontrolled tooth decay or gum disease. This is because all of your teeth must be pulled in order to get full dentures.
Partial dentures consist of one or more false teeth in a plastic and metal framework. They usually clip onto your remaining healthy teeth, which locks them into place and keeps your false teeth from moving.
If you are missing a few teeth but are not interested in dental implants or bridges, partial dentures are a good option for restoring your smile on a budget.
Root canal therapy is used to treat infected teeth. In this procedure, a small hole is made in the tooth, then your dentist will remove the infected material from the inside, fill up the tooth, and cover it with a filling or a crown. This restores the tooth’s function and preserves it for years to come.
We offer both nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and pill-based oral conscious sedation at Alliance Family Dentistry.
