Restore Your Smile’s Function and Aesthetics with Therapeutic Dentistry

Therapeutic or restorative dentistry consists of everything we do to rebuild the health of your teeth. Although your teeth are resilient, they aren’t indestructible. Your teeth can fall victim to accidents, decay, disease, and poor genetic predispositions.

Dr. Andy Stein understands the impact of damaged or missing teeth on your confidence, oral health, and aesthetics. We offer dental fillings, crowns, bridges, implants, and other treatments to rebuild damaged smiles. Whether it’s minor or complex dental issues, we’ll help you achieve a complete set of teeth that enables you to talk, eat, and feel your best.

What therapeutic dental care services do we offer?

Dental issues can affect everyday activities, including speaking, smiling, and eating, ruining overall quality of life. We wouldn’t want your life to be anything but perfect. Refresh, rebuild, and rejuvenate your smile with the following vital services.

  • Dental fillings: In the past, amalgam fillings were the only choice for repairing tooth decay. These fillings work, but they would darken with age, not to mention the concern about mercury. Today, there is a much better way to treat decay. Composite fillings are created from tooth-colored, non-toxic materials to create the ultimate restoration for tooth repair.
  • Dental crowns: These tooth-shaped appliances are needed if you have significant tooth damage or want to replace a missing tooth with an implant or bridge. Our dental crowns are beautifully designed to rebuild your tooth without leaving any signs of dental work.
  • Dental implants: Perhaps you have lost one or all teeth in your mouth and are looking for a permanent solution to restore your smile. Consider dental implants, which are structurally designed to look and function like natural teeth.
  • Root canals: When decay or damage reaches the inner parts of your tooth, the pulp chamber becomes exposed to harmful bacteria. This causes tooth infection, and antibiotics can do little to reverse the infection. Root canals are necessary to remove the diseased tissues and resolve the source of infection. Your tooth is then cleaned, sealed, and restored with a dental crown to restore its function and help it stay healthy for many years.
  • Bridges: A bridge fills the gap where one or more teeth are missing. This restoration is custom-fitted and created from tooth-like prosthetic teeth anchored with natural teeth on either side of the gap. Dental bridges stabilize your remaining teeth and complete your smile with unrivaled aesthetics and function.
  • Dentures are an economical and conservative method of replacing one or more teeth. They consist of tooth-colored artificial teeth mounted on a pink, gum-hued base to mimic your natural dentition. Dentures are popularly known as false or fake teeth, but our dentures are created from high-quality materials to restore your smile without the typical “dentures look.”

A therapeutic dentist rebuilds your teeth to restore your aesthetics, functionality, and confidence. Restorative treatments also prevent further health complications like premature dental wear, bone loss, and TMJ-related pain.
