Restorative Care
Rescuing broken, decayed teeth with restorative dentistry
There are many ways a tooth may become damaged. Trauma can fracture or break teeth. Untreated tooth decay may present as cavities or more extensive damage to the innermost pulp tissues. A tooth may not be preserved with root canal therapy or other endodontic procedures. Naturally, with so many threats to the teeth and their supportive tissues, restorative dentistry at Pure Dental Care of New York City takes numerous forms, too.
Options for every smile
Dr. Nazia Ahmed may recommend cavity repair with tooth-colored fillings for less extensive damage. If the cavity is big, dental inlays or onlays (partial crowns) may be in your future. Full crowns are also appropriate for individuals with more decay or damage that weakens the structural integrity of the teeth. Dental crowns also typically follow root canal therapy to protect and sustain the strength of the treated tooth for a lifetime. When crowns and root canal treatment cannot save a badly damaged tooth or is not an appropriate option, Dr. Ahmed performs safe and predictable extractions. She also discusses options to replace essential teeth (those that are not wisdom teeth) with you.
Filling in the gaps
If you have one tooth removed, options to replace it range from conventional fixed dental bridges to removable “partials” and dental implants restored with a dental crown. As a highly regarded Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry, Dr. Ahmed provides credible guidance on the best options to complete and restore your smile. Depending on your needs, she may even perform grafting procedures to build up deteriorated jaw tissue. These steps help prepare the jawbone to “accept” implants and, later, the artificial teeth attached to them. For individuals missing a few or many teeth, bridges, partial dentures, and implant-supported bridges and dentures may be in your future. We can even apply a minimal number of implants to support an entire upper or lower denture.
Don’t “sit” on dental problems
Oral conditions do not go away on their own. They only progress without treatment. By contacting Pure Dental Care right away, we may be able to save your badly damaged tooth. We can also help you to avoid the destructive effects of bone loss, which occurs naturally due to tooth loss.
