DENTAL FILLINGS

Having a cavity is nothing to be ashamed of. However, timely detection and timely treatment are essential for optimal dental health. Our “soft-touch” approach is designed to restore the area of decay using methods that will help minimize discomfort. We offer traditional amalgam (silver) and composite (tooth–colored) restorations. We will recommend the treatment but allow patient input for the final decision.

FIXED BRIDGEWORK

This process utilizes a dental lab to custom create a porcelain or metal “bridge” to replace one or more missing teeth. This “unit” is designed to fit only your mouth and is not removable. This provides you with normal chewing function and prevents the shifting of adjacent and opposing natural teeth.  It is our goal to have this replace missing teeth so that only you and our team will know it exists.

DENTAL IMPLANTS PROSTHESIS 

Dental implants are rising in popularity as they are a “one for one” replacement for missing teeth. A dental specialist places a titanium “root” in your jaw. After a certain amount of healing time, we will process a single crown or multiple crowns to replace the chewing portion of your teeth. This prosthesis is designed in a lab and is custom-created for your mouth only.

REMOVABLE PARTIALS & DENTURES

Many healthy persons are missing multiple teeth. Your options for replacement can include a removable partial or denture. A partial replaces only a few teeth, whereas a denture replaces an entire arch of teeth. These prostheses are custom-fitted by our team working with a dental laboratory. We have multiple options for replacement teeth in shades, shapes, and sizes. This option provides the replacement of multiple teeth with one prosthetic that will fit and feel as natural as possible. Feel free to contact us for restorative dentistry in Jackson MS.

Our Restorative Dentistry Process

1. Comprehensive Examination

We begin with a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and overall oral health. This may include X-rays and digital imaging to assess any underlying issues that aren’t immediately visible. 

2. Customized Treatment Plan

Based on the findings from your exam, we’ll design a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific dental issues. 

3. Restoration Procedure

Once a plan is in place, we’ll begin the restorative process. Depending on the treatment chosen, this may involve a single visit for procedures like dental bonding or multiple visits for treatments such as crowns or implants.

4. Follow-Up and Maintenance

After your restoration is complete, we’ll provide instructions on how to care for your new smile and schedule any necessary follow-up appointments to ensure your restoration remains in optimal condition. 

Restorative Dentistry for Kids

Restorative dentistry is also available for kids. If you have an elementary-age child or a teenager and they have damaged a tooth or several teeth while playing sports, give us a call.

You have to remember that their permanent teeth are the only teeth that they will ever have. We can restore their teeth and correct the damage quickly so as to reduce the risk of infection.

We typically recommend a bonding procedure because it is non-invasive and quick to perform. It is a procedure wherein a tooth-colored material is applied to the tooth and precisely shaped. A dental light is then used to harden it. The result is a natural-looking restoration done in just one visit.

Restorative Dentistry for Seniors

It is somewhat a widespread notion that when our seniors experience tooth problems, restoration is not always an option. We believe that is a mistake. We also offer restorative dentistry for seniors, not only to save your teeth so that eating and chewing will not be a problem but also to preserve the health and integrity of the jawbone and, ultimately, your appearance.

Family Restorative Dentistry

Restorative dentistry plays a crucial role in the health of your mouth and jaw. Your natural teeth provide adequate stimulation to your jawbone. When we save a damaged or diseased tooth, we help contribute to your overall health and wellness. A good set of teeth enable you to eat and chew adequately and look natural and confident all at the same time.

Immediate Restorations

If you damaged a tooth and you need it to be restored as quickly as possible, an immediate dental restoration is your best option but if you need to have an emergency session please contact us. The fastest procedure we offer is dental bonding, as it can be completed in one visit. This, however, is only a temporary solution until a more permanent restoration can be mapped out and done.

Dental veneers and crowns work to correct a chipped or cracked tooth. A veneer is a thin shell of material that is placed on the surface of your tooth, while a crown surrounds your tooth like a cap. Both are more effective if there is extensive damage or loss of enamel.

Veneers and crowns, however, are a two-step process. The first visit involves preparing your tooth to receive the veneer or crown, making a mold of your tooth, and then sending it to a laboratory to be fabricated. A temporary one is placed on your tooth. You will be cautioned to go on a soft diet during this time so as not to damage the immediate or temporary restoration.

The second visit is when your permanent veneer or crown will be placed. After this visit, you will be able to eat all types of food again without fear of pain or discomfort.
