Restorative Dentistry in Glendale, CA

Dental fillings are a fundamental restorative treatment for teeth affected by decay or minor fractures. By carefully removing the decayed portion and filling the cavity, we restore the tooth's structure and prevent further decay. Our fillings are crafted from high-quality materials like composite resin, which matches the color of your natural teeth, ensuring a restoration that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

Inlays, onlays, and overlays offer a conservative yet effective solution for repairing decay or damage that cannot be adequately addressed with a simple filling but doesn't require a full crown. These custom-made restorations are bonded to the damaged area of the tooth. Inlays fit within the cusps, or top edges, of a tooth, while onlays and overlays cover one or more cusps.

Dental crowns are custom-fitted over the entire tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and aesthetic appearance after significant damage or decay. Crowns can also be used to complete dental implant procedures, providing a functional and visually appealing replacement for missing teeth. Our crowns are made from materials like porcelain, ceramic, or zirconia, chosen for their durability and their ability to closely mimic the appearance of natural teeth.

Dental bridges are used to bridge the gap created by one or more missing teeth. These tooth replacements can be made from a variety of durable materials, and are anchored on surrounding teeth or implants. Bridges not only restore the aesthetics of your smile but also your ability to chew and speak properly, and prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position.

Dentures are removable appliances that can replace missing teeth and help restore your smile. While full dentures are used when all teeth are missing, partial dentures can be used to replace even a single tooth. Modern dentures are custom-crafted to be comfortable, functional, and closely resemble your natural teeth, helping to fill out the appearance of your face and profile.

Dental implants offer a permanent solution to missing teeth and are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural smile. The process involves implanting a titanium post into the jawbone, which serves as a root for the artificial tooth. Over time, the implant integrates with the bone, providing stable support for a crown, bridge, or denture. Implants are lauded for their natural appearance, comfort, and functionality, significantly improving chewing ability, speech, and self-esteem.

Root canal therapy is a treatment used to repair and save a tooth that is badly decayed or infected. The procedure involves removing the damaged area of the tooth (the pulp), cleaning and disinfecting it, and then filling and sealing it. The common causes of pulp damage include a cracked tooth, a deep cavity, repeated dental treatment to the tooth, or trauma. This treatment alleviates pain and can save the tooth from extraction, preserving your natural smile.

Tooth extraction involves the removal of a tooth from its socket in the bone. It's typically reserved as a last resort when a tooth is beyond repair due to severe decay, infection, or crowding, or in preparation for orthodontic treatment. Our team employs gentle techniques and sedation options to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure, followed by comprehensive aftercare instructions to promote healing.
