Dental Bridges:

Dental Bridges: A dental bridge is a fixed restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. Specifically, it consists of artificial teeth held in place by dental crowns on the adjacent natural teeth. The benefit is that this treatment not only restores your ability to chew and speak but also prevents your remaining teeth from shifting. This preserves your natural facial structure.

Dental Crowns:

A dental crown is a cap-like restoration that covers and protects a damaged tooth. We use crowns to restore the strength, shape, and appearance of teeth that are broken, severely decayed, or have large fillings. Crowns are also the final step in a root canal therapy procedure. In addition, they are used to support a dental bridge.

Dental Fillings:

For teeth affected by minor to moderate decay, dental fillings are a common and effective solution. We use tooth-colored composite resin fillings that seamlessly blend with your natural teeth. As a result, this restores the tooth’s structure and prevents further decay while maintaining a beautiful aesthetic.

Dental Implant Restorations:

A dental implant is the most durable and natural-feeling solution for replacing missing teeth. Dr. Zuckerman, an experienced implant dentist, provides the final step of the implant process. She does this with custom-made dental implant restorations (crowns, bridges, or dentures) that are secured to the implant post. This restores full function and aesthetics, mimicking a natural tooth root and crown.

Dental Inlays & Onlays:

For teeth that have too much decay for a regular filling but not enough to require a full crown, inlays and onlays are an excellent restorative option. These custom restorations are fabricated in a lab and then bonded to the tooth. Ultimately, they provide a stronger and more durable solution than a traditional filling.

Dentures:

When multiple teeth are missing, dentures offer a reliable solution for restoring your smile’s function and appearance. We provide custom-designed full and partial dentures that fit comfortably and look natural. We also specialize in implant-supported dentures for enhanced stability and comfort.

Root Canal Therapy:

When a tooth’s pulp (the soft tissue inside) becomes infected or inflamed, root canal therapy can save the tooth from extraction. This procedure involves carefully removing the infected pulp, cleaning the root canal, and sealing it to prevent future infection. In short, it’s an effective way to relieve pain and preserve the tooth’s structure for years to come.
