What is Restorative Dentistry?

Restorative dentistry involves treatments that repair or replace teeth affected by decay, injury, or loss. Whether you’re dealing with a chipped tooth, a missing tooth, or extensive dental damage, our expert team is here to provide solutions tailored to your unique needs.

Crowns & Bridges: Strengthen and Restore Your Smile

Crowns and bridges are versatile restorative options designed to repair and replace damaged or missing teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics.

Crowns:

A dental crown, or cap, is placed over a damaged tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are an excellent solution for:


  • Protecting a weakened tooth after a root canal or large filling.
  • Restoring a tooth that is cracked, chipped, or severely worn.
  • Covering a discolored or misshapen tooth.

The Process:

  • Preparation:

    The damaged tooth is reshaped to accommodate the crown.

  • Impression:

    A precise mold of your tooth is taken to create a custom crown.

  • Placement:

    Once crafted, the crown is securely bonded to your tooth, blending seamlessly with your natural teeth.

Bridges:

Dental bridges replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth (or teeth) to the adjacent natural teeth or implants.

The Process

  • Start Early:

    The teeth on either side of the gap are prepared for crowns.

  • Custom Fabrication:

    The bridge, consisting of crowns and artificial teeth, is crafted to match your smile.

  • Placement:

    The bridge is securely placed, restoring the appearance and function of your smile.

Benefits of Crowns & Bridges:

  • Restores chewing and speaking ability.
  • Prevents shifting of neighboring teeth.
  • Provides a natural-looking, long-lasting solution.

Dental Implants: A Permanent Solution for Missing Teeth

Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth, offering unmatched durability, functionality, and aesthetics. An implant consists of a titanium post surgically placed in the jawbone, acting as an artificial tooth root. A custom crown, bridge, or denture is then attached to restore your smile.

Why Choose Implants?

  • Look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
  • Prevent bone loss and maintain facial structure.
  • Provide a stable, permanent solution that doesn’t rely on adjacent teeth.

The Implant Process:

  • Consultation:

    We assess your oral health and bone density to determine if implants are right for you.

  • Placement:

    The titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone, where it fuses with the bone over time (osseointegration).

  • Restoration:

    A custom crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the implant, completing your restoration.

Implant Options at The Laser Dental Group:

At The Laser Dental Group, we offer a variety of implant solutions tailored to meet your unique needs. Whether you’re missing a single tooth, multiple teeth, or need full-mouth restoration, our expert team provides personalized care to restore your smile’s functionality and beauty.

  • Single-Tooth Implants:

    When one tooth is missing, a single-tooth implant is the ideal solution.


    How It Works: 

    • A titanium implant post is surgically placed in the jawbone to replace the missing tooth’s root. Once healed, a custom-designed crown is attached to the post, restoring your smile seamlessly.

    Benefits:

    • Looks and feels like a natural tooth.
    • Prevents bone loss in the area of the missing tooth.
    • Does not require alteration of neighboring teeth, unlike traditional bridges.

  • Implant-Supported Bridges:

    For patients missing multiple teeth in a row, implant-supported bridges provide a durable and aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional bridges.


    How It Works: 

    • Instead of relying on adjacent teeth for support, implants are strategically placed to anchor the bridge. This approach eliminates the need to modify healthy teeth while providing a stable foundation.

    Benefits:

    • Replaces multiple missing teeth with fewer implants.
    • Restores proper bite alignment and chewing function.
    • Prevents teeth adjacent to the gap from shifting out of place.

  • Implant-Supported Dentures:

    For patients missing most or all of their teeth, implant-supported dentures offer a secure and comfortable alternative to traditional removable dentures.


    How It Works: 

    • A series of implants are placed in the jawbone to act as stable anchors. The denture snaps or clips onto the implants for a secure fit.

    Options:

    • Fixed (Non-Removable) Implant Dentures: Permanently attached to implants for a natural feel and maximum stability.
    • Removable Implant Dentures: Easily removable for cleaning but still secure during daily use.

    Benefits:

    • Eliminates the slipping or discomfort often associated with traditional dentures.
    • Improves speech and chewing ability.
    • Prevents bone loss and maintains facial structure over time.

  • Full-Arch Restoration with All-on-4® Implants:

    All-on-4® is an innovative solution for patients seeking full-mouth restoration. This technique uses four strategically placed implants per arch to support a complete set of prosthetic teeth.


    How It Works: 

    • Implants are placed in areas of the jaw with the highest bone density, often allowing for immediate placement of a temporary restoration. A permanent prosthesis is placed after the implants integrate with the bone.

    Benefits:

    • Restores a full arch of teeth with fewer implants.
    • Minimally invasive compared to traditional full-arch implants.
    • Provides same-day functionality in many cases, allowing you to leave the office with a new smile.
