Restorative Dentistry

Restorative dentistry aims to improve the function and appearance of a patient's mouth after damage, such as tooth decay or trauma, has negatively affected the structures of the mouth. Our dentist in Walnut uses treatment options that replace missing teeth, save damaged teeth from extraction and improve a patient's smile.

Dentures
Dentures replace missing teeth and gum tissue to avoid problems that occur from tooth loss, like shifting teeth and the inability to speak and eat properly. There are two types of dentures: complete and partial. Patient's that have no teeth remaining in their upper or lower arches can use complete dentures to regain more functionality to the mouth. After evaluating the patient's mouth, our Walnut dentist will create complete dentures precisely fitted to the patient's mouth. Partial dentures replace one or more missing teeth by attaching to the patient's natural teeth, with a metal frame, on either side of the missing teeth. The replacement teeth are attached to the metal frame. Partial dentures may be removable or fixed, depending on the patient's needs.

Do you have a damaged tooth? Have you lost one? You don’t need to worry about what comes next. Our Walnut restorative dentist can repair the damage and even replace the missing tooth.

Dental Implants
Dental implants are natural looking prosthetic teeth that are permanently placed in the mouth. Implants are the longest lasting and most functional prosthetic used by our restorative dentist in Walnut to replace missing teeth. The implant is placed in the jaw bone and allowed to heal for at least six months. Implants can replace one or more missing teeth in the form of a single implant, a bridge or dentures that support implants. Ideal candidates for implants maintain good oral hygiene, are free of gum disease and have suffered little to no bone loss.

Dental Crowns
Dental crowns protect a damaged tooth from future trauma and improve the appearance of teeth that are stained, crooked or misshapen. Our Walnut restorative dentist ensures that the shape and color of the crown mimics the patient's natural teeth. The crown is permanently placed in a position that covers the damaged tooth for an instant aesthetic improvement.

Dental Veneers
Veneers are thin porcelain sheets that are bonded to the surface of a tooth that is broken, cracked or damaged. Veneers help restore a tooth's strength and appearance. Candidates for dental veneers should be free of cavities and gum disease.

Technological advances in dentistry have improved the ways to strengthen the teeth and their structure. Contact our restorative dentist in Walnut to find out about the options that are suitable for you.
