Restorative Dentistry
Teeth can become damaged from decay, cracks, large existing fillings, wear, or injury. Restorative dentistry focuses on rebuilding damaged teeth and restoring comfortable function.
At JDental of Chalfont, we evaluate each tooth individually and discuss the available options before recommending treatment.
Care includes: Tooth-Colored Fillings · Dental Crowns · Dental Bridges · Implant Restorations · Dentures & Partial Dentures
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Dental fillings are used to repair teeth affected by cavities or minor damage. Tooth-colored filling materials allow us to restore the damaged portion of the tooth while maintaining a natural appearance.
Dental Crowns
A dental crown can help restore and protect a tooth that has been weakened by decay, cracks, a large filling, or significant wear.
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is one option for replacing a missing tooth or multiple missing teeth. A bridge uses neighboring teeth for support and can restore both appearance and function in the area where teeth are missing.
Implant Restorations
Dental implants can provide a stable way to replace missing teeth. Once an implant has integrated with the bone and is ready to be restored, a custom dental restoration can be made to replace the missing tooth.
Dentures & Partial Dentures
Dentures and partial dentures can replace multiple missing teeth and help restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile comfortably.
Replacing Missing Teeth
There is more than one way to replace a missing tooth. Depending on your dental health and goals, options may include an implant restoration, bridge, partial denture, or full denture.
Common questions
How do I know if I need a filling?
A filling may be recommended when decay or damage has affected a portion of the tooth but enough healthy tooth structure remains to support a restoration.
Why might I need a crown?
A crown may be recommended when a tooth has lost enough structure that a filling alone may not provide adequate support. This can occur because of a large filling, decay, cracks, wear, or previous dental treatment.
What is a dental bridge?
A traditional bridge consists of a replacement tooth connected to crowns placed on the neighboring teeth. Together, they fill the space left by a missing tooth.
