Restorative Dental Treatments

Restorative dentistry involves treatments that aim to repair, restore, and correct your natural oral function and dental aesthetics. You might need restorative work following damage, disease, or tooth loss. Dr. Butts provides restorative treatments that include dental crowns, cosmetics, veneers, repairs, replacements, and other treatments.

Dental Fillings

At Avent Ferry Family Dentistry, we provide mercury-free dental fillings. Amalgam/silver fillings contain mercury and emit tiny amounts of mercury vapor. If you have several old fillings, grind your teeth, or chew your gums, the mercury vapor can emit in increasing amounts that risk harming your health. Our practice believes in putting our patient’s health and safety first.

Dental Bridges

Regarding your dental health and stability, each of your 28 teeth plays an essential role in enabling your natural oral functions, like chewing, speaking, and breathing. If you lose even a single tooth, it compromises the structural stability of your jaw and face.

A dental bridge is a removable or permanent prosthetic replacement for two to five missing teeth in a row. A fixed dental bridge is attached directly to the abutment teeth on either side of the gap or to artificial dental crowns bonded to the abutment teeth.

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are artificial tooth replacements that look, feel, and function just like the visible crown of your natural teeth. The crown replaces the functionality of your tooth, restoring your ability to chew, and supporting the structural integrity of your healthy teeth and facial bones.

Non-Surgical Root Canal

A root canal can make the difference between losing or keeping your natural teeth. Non-surgical root canal therapy is like a filling, but it extends down to the roots of your teeth. A non-surgical root canal involves drilling through your tooth to access the nerves and remove the diseased roots. Then, the hollow is filled to keep the infection from progressing. Before the procedure, Dr. Butts will administer local anesthesia by injection to the treatment area, numbing any pain or physical sensation. If you want a deeper level of sedation, discuss your preferences with Dr. Butts during your consultation. You may need to see a specialist.

Dentures

If you have damaged or lost most or all of the teeth on your top or bottom jaws, dentures can replace your teeth. A complete denture is a dental prosthetic that patients wear in the mouth. The prosthetic replaces the visible crowns of teeth and supports the facial structure. The denture’s frame is acrylic, and the teeth are a combination of porcelain and plastic.

Traditional dentures are removable, whereas permanent dentures are a full-mouth teeth replacement alternative that restores your natural oral function. Permanent dentures support healthy jawbone growth by attaching to dental implants in the top and bottom jaw. Permanent dentures offer more longevity and durability than traditional dentures and can last a lifetime with proper care.
