Broken, chipped, decayed, or missing teeth damage self-confidence, but did you know that more serious overall health concerns may be involved? Restorative dentistry is the process of repairing or replacing teeth with modern dental materials. Dr. Head has over 25 years of experience in aesthetic smile restorations.
Recent studies show that tooth decay severely impairs overall health. A cavity left untreated will eventually destroy an entire tooth and spread to the gums and surrounding teeth. Dr. Head can prevent decay from ravaging your mouth with durable and attractive restorations like tooth-colored fillings and porcelain crowns.
If a missing tooth isn’t replaced, it can cause significant damage as well. In addition to lowering self-esteem, a missing tooth increases the workload of remaining teeth. Patients with who lose a tooth are likely to lose 20% more teeth over the next 8 to 10 years. With bridges, dentures, and dental implants, Dr. Head can restore your strong, complete smile.
