GENERAL AND RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY

At ADDC Dental our general and restorative dentistry program aims at giving you a smile that is not only beautiful, but functional as well. If you have damaged or missing teeth (due to trauma, decay, illness, fracture or deterioration of a previous restoration), you don’t have to live with the embarrassment. In fact, not replacing missing teeth can lead to bone degeneration that can compromise your jaw and adjacent teeth.

Please note: Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.

Extractions

Routine extractions may be needed for resolving various dental problems that require one or more teeth to be extracted as a part of the treatment. Teeth may need to be extracted when it becomes difficult to restore or maintain them in the mouth.

Fillings

If you have never had a cavity, congratulations! If you have had one, you are not alone. Statistics states that 3 in 10 adults ages 25-44 had untreated tooth decay and 1 in 2 12 year old children experienced tooth decay in their permanent teeth. Fortunately there’s a time-tested treatment for cavities: the dental filling.

Crown and Bridges

Dentistry is an art as well as a science; dental crowns offer a perfect example of this. A dental crown or “cap” is a covering that fits over a damaged, decayed or unattractive tooth. It can even replace a tooth entirely as part of dental bridgework.

Inlays and Onlays

There are times when a tooth suffers damage (from decay, for example) that is too extensive to be treated with a simple filling — but not extensive enough to need a full-coverage crown. In these cases, the best option for restoring the tooth may be an inlay or onlay.

Root Canal Treatment

The dental pulp is the soft tissue inside the canal or channel that runs through the root of your tooth. The dental pulp consists mainly of blood vessels, tissue fibers and some nerve fibers. The main function of the dental pulp is to regulate the growth and development of the tooth during childhood. Once the tooth is fully formed, nutrition for the tooth comes from the tissues surrounding the root.

Dentures

Dentures are replacements for missing teeth that can be taken out and put back into your mouth. While dentures take some getting used to, and will never feel exactly the same as one’s natural teeth, today’s dentures are natural looking and more comfortable than ever.
