Teeth can really take a beating in everyday life. Everything from injuries because of sports and other traumatic incidents, to something as simple as a tiny cavity, can lead to major damage and decay in your mouth. Even what you eat and drink can affect the health of your teeth! Some of our patients who take really good care of their teeth are surprised to find that they have developed a cavity or that they grind their teeth in their sleep.
Whatever the cause of the damage, here at the office of Joseph Bolil, DDS, we take the health of our patient's teeth very seriously. That's why we encourage our patients not to wait until damage is extensive or for the teeth break or hurt. When caught and repaired early, more natural tooth structure is preserved, and future root canal therapy, extraction, surgery and false teeth are all avoided. Once teeth break, repair is much more complicated and extensive.
What Makes Our Restorative Dentistry Special
One of the primary things that sets our dentistry apart is the gentle and compassionate way we treat our patients and the effort we put into keeping them comfortable.
But even more unique is the fact that we never use metal to repair teeth. Metal restorations can look unnatural and unattractive and, as time passes, even damage your teeth. Metal fillings expand and contract with temperature changes causing cracking or allowing bacteria to affect further decay. Our crowns and porcelain inlays and onlays are not only much healthier, they are artfully created for a life-like appearance and long lasting attractiveness unsurpassed by amalgam fillings or metal lined crowns.
Replacing Missing Teeth
If you are missing a tooth or teeth, it is very important to replace it as soon as possible. When a tooth is lost, it changes the bite, causing excess stress to be placed on the remaining healthy teeth. This stress causes those teeth to wear unevenly and can even cause jaw-related pain. Missing teeth can also change your facial appearance, resulting in a loss of confidence and embarrassment. Worst of all, missing teeth can lead to bone loss in the jaw. To help you get back to smiling and feeling confident again, we will replace the tooth with one of our cosmetically designed bridges, dentures or even a dental implant. Our replacement teeth will improve the health and comfort of your smile and help you look great!
