Restorative Dentistry![]() Dental BridgesBridges are used to replace a missing tooth in both a cosmetic and functional fashion. A bridge structure is one or more artificial teeth anchored in place by natural teeth, crowns or implants, on each side of the bridge. Using a bridge to fill the gap from missing teeth helps restore proper bite. It also prevents teeth from shifting to fill the gap (which may lead to additional bite and jaw joint issues). Bridges can be constructed from gold, porcelain and metal, or ceramic. Ceramic bridge color is made to match your natural tooth color. Material choice will depend on structural requirements, wear and aesthetics. Dental CrownsCrowns are used to restore teeth severely damaged by fracture or decay. After the tooth surface is cleaned, rid of decay and old filling material, then prepared, the crown is placed over it. DenturesDentures are a replacement option for missing teeth. A complete denture is a removable prosthesis of white plastic teeth in a pink gum-colored plastic base; the denture rests on the remaining gum ridge once all of the teeth in the arch have been removed. Dental FillingsFillings are used to restore areas of your teeth affected by decay. At Bella Dental Care, both doctors use composite (tooth colored) materials to fill in the surface to match the color of the tooth after all decay has been removed. Dental Implant RestorationsA dental implant restoration is a procedure involving a dental implant that has already been placed.
