Restorative Dentistry

in Jackson, MI

Replacing missing teeth has never looked so natural! Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium that are surgically embedded into your jawbone by our dentists for added stability. After they are inserted and given time to heal, the screw-like post is topped with a dental crown for the final look.

If you are interested in replacing a full upper or lower arch of teeth, but want the promise of extra stability, our dentists offer All-on-X dental implants. You can think of All-on-X implants as part dental implant, part dentures. Depending on your exact needs and preferences, we can surgically place 4, 5, or 6 implants into your jawbone and install a custom-made denture on top to ensure the false teeth do not shift.

Thanks to CEREC technology which includes an in-office milling unit, our dentists are able to create and place dental crowns in the same appointment. That means no more temporary crowns and no waiting a few weeks for your permanent crown to return back from an outside dental lab. With same-day crowns, the process is streamlined.

For times when a tooth is beyond repair, extraction is necessary. The procedure is typically a last resort and one that is taken quite seriously by our dentists. Because the preservation of your natural teeth is always a priority for us, we will only remove a tooth if it is severely decayed, damaged, or otherwise compromising your oral health.

Beyond the early stage of gingivitis, gum disease is no longer reversible and requires regular treatment to manage the condition. Our dentists can help you do just that with a deep cleaning procedure known as scaling and root planing. Though advanced gum disease is long-term, treatment is still necessary and can help prevent tooth loss.

Designed as a way to avoid tooth extraction, root canal therapy consists of our dentists removing infected, damaged, or injured dental pulp from within your tooth. The procedure is straightforward and while it may sound intense, is no more uncomfortable than receiving a filling.

No one likes cavities but sometimes they happen. When they do, treatment is required from our dentists before the decay spreads. We exclusively use tooth-colored composite resin fillings inside our office for the treatment of cavities so you can enjoy a more discreet result compared to traditional metal amalgam fillings.

Not every patient wants to commit to the dental implant procedure and that’s perfectly fine. Our dentists also offer full and partial dentures as an option for those wanting to restore their smile. Achieve a seamless look that not only fills in gaps, but allows for easier speaking, talking, and chewing.

You should never ignore or delay seeking treatment for a dental emergency. The faster you receive treatment from our dentists, the better chance you have of keeping teeth intact and avoiding negative oral health consequences. Whether it’s a knocked-out tooth, a dental abscess, or a severe toothache, we’re here to help.
