Restorative

After years of decay, grinding, injury, aging restorations and poor care, your beloved, brilliant smile begins to fade.  Bring it back with restorative dentistry!  Welch Dental Group changes lives every day with restorative techniques.   

Crown

Are you self-conscious about your smile due to cracked, broken, decayed or worn teeth? Porcelain crowns erase years of damage from your smile.  Sometimes called “caps,” porcelain crowns are a durable, strong, long-lasting enhancement to the look and functionality of your teeth.  With all the materials and techniques modern dentistry has to offer, crowns can be completely natural looking. Additional benefits of crowns are correcting bite problems, closing spaces between teeth, changing the angulations of teeth, and they can be used to replace missing teeth permanently as part of a bridge or over an implant.

Bridge

Forgetting routine dental appointments and ignoring proper cleaning tactics can result in gum disease, tooth decay and ultimately tooth loss. Injury and years of wear can also cause tooth loss.  When teeth are missing, your mouth must compensate for the lack of chewing power in that area in order to function normally, which ultimately causes unwanted spaces and changes in your smile. A bridge can correct your missing tooth or teeth and keep your smile aligned and your bite working correctly. Your bridge is secured to existing teeth or crowns on either side of the missing tooth. The restoration looks like real teeth in shape and in color. Bridges are semi-permanent, meaning they can only be affixed or removed by a dentist, and are a long-term restorative solution to your damaged smile.

Implants

A dental implant is one of the most permanent forms of restorative dentistry and can be used to restore a single tooth or several teeth. Dental implants involve the placement of a surgical grade titanium post directly into your jawbone by one of the doctor’s trusted specialists. As the bone bonds to the post, it forms a secure foundation for the attachment of a crown or a prosthetic tooth that is custom created for you. Implants are sometimes used instead of bridges to maintain the integrity of the teeth on either side of the gap.  Your result is a healthy, gorgeous smile!
