Restorative Dentistry in Dallas, TX

Restorative dentistry deals with the reconditioning and replacement of teeth. The goal of restorative dentistry is to reinstate patients’ teeth to their former glory, functionally and, by extension, in appearance. Lakewood Family Dental Care team in Lakewood, Dallas, TX includes bridges, dentures, and implants.

Bridges

Dental bridges are permanent implants that are a solution for missing teeth. There are four different dental bridges, all of which can be fixed by our dentists in Dallas, TX. These include:

• Traditional dental bridges secured in place on either side by false teeth.
• Cantilever bridge that is secured by a dental crown.
• Maryland dental bridge that uses two natural abutment teeth on both sides of the gap.
• Implant support dental bridge.

Dentures

Some patients have missing teeth but are not inclined to get dental bridges. That’s where dentures come in. Dentures are removable replacements of teeth. There are two types of dentures: complete and partial dentures. Complete dentures are used when a set of teeth are missing, say on one row. Partial dentures are used only for a couple of teeth. Talk to us if you require dentures.

Implants

Dental implants are a great option if you have lost one or several of your teeth. When you lose a tooth, you may also lose your confidence and the functionality of your mouth. It may impact your speech, and you might not be able to chew your food as you did before.
