Jesal Patel and Shawn Dornhecker of Patel and Dornhecker Dental Wellness Center in Fairfield Township, Ohio, provide a wide range of restorative dentistry services to help patients restore their smiles. Below are a couple of commonly asked questions about the treatments we offer new and existing patients at our office:
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are restorations our team uses to replace one or more teeth. Teeth that are loose due to trauma and need to be removed can be extracted and replaced with a titanium or ceramic post that serves as a tooth root and supports a crown, bridge, or even a full denture. Implant-retained dentures are the most stable and fully functioning type of denture that is used to restore one’s ability to eat and speak with ease.
How do bridges work to replace missing teeth?
Dental bridges are another option for patients looking to restore their smile with restorative dentistry. These restorations are made in many different ways to replace one or several teeth in a row. They are bonded only to the surrounding teeth for support and require specific attention when it comes to brushing and flossing around them. Many of our patients prefer dental bridges over partial dentures because they are cemented into place, often lasting many years before needing to be replaced. Additionally, patients with dental insurance may find this restoration more affordable after applying their insurance benefits and paying any remaining out-of-pocket costs.
What is composite resin bonding?
Composite resin is a pliable plastic that is color-matched to teeth. It is combined with powdered glass for the same luminous quality as tooth enamel. The material is bonded to a prepared tooth and molded into shape. The resin is hardened with a safe, ultraviolet light. Then the dentist trims and further sculpts the material. With a final polish, the restoration is virtually undetectable in your smile.
What are some of the benefits of composite bonding?
Modern composite resin dental materials are strong enough for fillings in any area of the mouth, including molars. In addition, our doctors use it for aesthetic improvements:
- Replace dark amalgam fillings.
- Disguise chips and cracks in tooth enamel.
- Cover deep discoloration that does not respond to professional whitening treatments.
- Close gaps between teeth.
- Improve the size or shape of a tooth.
