Is restorative dentistry right for me?

They also offer general and cosmetic dentistry, as well as gum disease treatments. 

Which restorative dentistry options are available?

Some of the restorative dentistry options available at Urbandale Smiles include:

White fillings

Your Urbandale Smiles uses non-toxic, white fillings to repair minor tooth damage and decay. They also safely remove any silver fillings that contain mercury.

Dental bonding

Dental bonding uses tooth-colored materials to repair minor tooth damage. Urbandale Smiles also offers tooth contouring to improve the shape of treated teeth. 

Inlays and onlays

Inlays and onlays are dental restorations similar to crowns, but they cover less surface area of the treated teeth.

Crowns

Crowns fit over the top of your natural teeth to strengthen them and improve how they look and feel. Crowns help repair tooth decay, cracks, chips, and other imperfections.

Bridges

Bridges replace missing permanent teeth using artificial teeth attached to two adjacent crowns.

Root canals

If you have severe tooth decay or an infection, your Urbandale Smiles dentist removes decay and bacteria from inside an affected tooth and fills it with long-lasting dental materials.

The Urbandale Smiles specialists tailor restorative dentistry treatment plans to your unique needs, lifestyle, oral health history, and desired results. They may recommend more than one restorative treatment during a smile makeover.
