Long-Lasting Solutions for Damaged or Lost Teeth
Sooner or later, you will probably need restorative dentistry in one form or another. Perhaps your tooth will develop a cavity that needs to be filled, or perhaps you will suffer an accident that results in serious dental damage. You might even need to have teeth replaced altogether in certain circumstances. No matter what kind of repairs your smile needs, you can call Wright Family Dentistry for a consultation to discuss a long-lasting, image-friendly solution.

Tooth-Colored Fillings
We can remove the bacteria that cause cavities to form, but that doesn’t make up for the enamel that was already lost. The missing parts of the tooth’s structure will need to be replaced. In the past that meant fillings made of metal, but those came with a number of drawbacks. Tooth-colored fillings are made out of a material that can be made to match the exact color of your natural tooth, and they allow us to leave more of the natural enamel intact.
Dental Crowns
Whether it’s to protect a weak tooth from breaking, to restore the shape and strength of a broken- or worn-down tooth, or to cover certain cosmetic flaws, a dental crown can be an excellent way to refresh and restore your smile. When crowns are made out of ceramic materials, they can be shaded and shaped to resemble natural teeth so closely that most people won’t even realize that you’ve had dental work done at all.

Dental Bridges
Missing teeth cause a lot of complications, so it’s in your best interest to fill any gaps as quickly as possible. A dental bridge can be used to replace one or more teeth in a row. It uses abutment teeth (the teeth on either side of the gap left by the missing tooth or teeth) for support, and it’s designed to look as natural as possible. There are different types of dental bridges, but one constant they all share is that they make it easier for you to eat, smile, and generally get the most out of life again.
Fixed Bridges
A fixed bridge is joined onto the neighboring abutment teeth (crowned teeth) and consists of three basic units: the false tooth or teeth (called a pontic) and two abutment crowns. The style of bridge we suggest will depend upon the strength and health of the abutment teeth, as well as the location of the gap in relation to the rest of your dentition. If healthy adjacent abutment teeth aren't available, a surgically implanted metal post, known as a dental implant, may offer a solid alternative. For a bridge that replaces many teeth, we may recommend a removable partial denture or implant-supported prosthesis. With proper care, a fixed bridge may last at least 8 to 10 years.
Dentures
Bridges are used to replace a small number of teeth; dentures, on the other hand, are used when many or all of the teeth in an arch need to be replaced. A full denture will allow you to eat, speak, and perform other daily tasks that would be a lot more challenging with a missing row of teeth. Partial dentures can be used to fill in the gaps if you still have a sufficient number of teeth in the arch that can be salvaged.
Dental Implants
A tooth is composed of a crown and roots; the crown is the part most people see while the roots are hidden under the gums. Bridges and dentures only replace the crown part of the teeth; if you want to replace the roots, you need dental implants. The simple addition of a post for your new teeth to rest on will make your smile much stronger and more reliable, to the point where you might have trouble telling your implants apart from your real teeth.

Full-Mouth Reconstructions
Do all of your teeth need to be restored or replaced? The process of rebuilding the entire smile is known as full-mouth reconstruction. The process is different for every patient; we’ll determine what kind of restorations are best suited for your particular situation, and then we’ll plan your treatment based on your needs. We’ve worked on all kinds of smiles in the past, and we enjoy the chance to help people reclaim their oral health and their happy grins no matter what kind of trauma or disease they’ve previously had to deal with.
