Charlotte Restorative Dentistry

Restorative dentistry refers to the restoration of natural teeth that have been damaged, decayed or missing.  Restorative dentistry includes the use of crowns and bridges. A bridge may replace one or more teeth. A crown helps restore a damaged, chipped, broken or decayed tooth to give it back its original form and strength.

Crowns and bridges are unlike dentures that can be removed from your mouth. A crown is fabricated by taking an impression and then is fixed or cemented to your tooth.  A bridge is similar in that it is a prosthesis that will span the area of missing teeth. The bridge is also fabricated from molds put in your mouth.

Some of restorative dentistry can be done in one visit to your Charlotte cosmetic dentist.

Contact Ballantyne Center for Dentistry, your Charlotte cosmetic dentist, to discuss reconstructive and restorative dentistry. Don’t worry if you don’t know the difference between a crown, veneer and a bridge- that doesn’t matter. Your Charlotte cosmetic dentist will diagnosis your issues and provide options for a treatment plan to get you the smile you want.
