Restorative Dentistry

When teeth have been damaged, whether through decay or trauma, they will need some form of restorative dentistry in order to be restored. Missing teeth will also require a dental device to replace them.

Our dentist in Manhattan Beach has a number of ways to help you restore and replace your teeth. For a tooth that has suffered severe damage and may even have required root canal therapy, a crown is the best option for restoring its strength so that it will once again function as a normal tooth. A porcelain crown is a protective cover for a damaged tooth that will preserve it and prevent further damage from occurring to it. Crowns are strong and last many years, though they may need replacing in time from normal wear.

Missing teeth can be replaced with dental implants and bridges. A dental implant is the device that is most often used for one missing tooth. An implant will anchor into the bone and have a crown attached to it, thus replacing both the tooth and the root.

If you have missing teeth, our restorative dentist in Manhattan Beach can replace them with a single dental implant, full or partial dentures, depending on the number of the teeth you are missing.

When several teeth are missing, our Manhattan Beach dentist will often use a bridge to fill in the gap left by the missing teeth. The teeth on both sides of the gap will have crowns affixed to them, and these crowns, in turn, act as the anchor for the partial bridge. The bridge will contain prosthetic teeth that will effectively replace the missing teeth.

When all or almost all of the teeth are gone, our restorative dentist in Manhattan Beach will expertly fit a set of dentures into the mouth that will replace all missing teeth. A mold will be taken of your mouth and your dentures will then be created. Within a short period of time, you will have your dentures, and you will once again have a full set of teeth and be able to eat, speak and smile in comfort and confidence.

Our Manhattan Beach restorative dentist wants you to have the restorative procedures that you need in order to restore or replace any broken or missing teeth you may have.
