Restorative Dentistry in Franklin, MI
There are two goals in restorative dentistry in our Franklin, MI office: to restore the function of the teeth and to restore the appearance of the teeth. Our restorative dental treatments can help you get your smile back. Discover more about each of our restorative treatments and what they can do for your smile:
Dental Bridge
A dental bridge can use the support of natural teeth or implants to replace rows of missing permanent teeth. Traditional dental bridges use crown-capped natural teeth to support false prosthetics. Dental implants can replace one or multiple teeth with stable titanium posts.
Dental Crown
A dental crown acts like a cap to fully cover and protect single teeth. Crowns can also cap off implants and secure traditional dental bridges. We also color-match dental crowns to ensure that they blend in with the natural smile. Crowns can provide durability and improve the appearance of one or more teeth.
Dental Implants
Dental implants can restore one or more missing teeth. Implants create stable bites and improve the aesthetics of the smile. They are titanium posts that an oral surgeon places into the jaw bone. Once the implants are fully healed, they become a part of the smile.
Dentures & Partials
Partial and complete dentures replace rows and full arches of missing teeth. Traditional dentures lay on the gums and use adhesive to stay in place, while implant-secured dentures use implant posts to secure prosthetics.
Gum Disease Treatment
Periodontitis, or gum disease, affects millions of Americans each year. Common symptoms of gum disease can include inflamed, red, bleeding, and sensitive gum tissue. Scaling, root planing, and treatment with dental lasers can remove plaque, tartar, and infected gum tissue. If you want more information on how Dr. Shayota diagnoses and treats gum disease, visit Periodontal Disease Treatment.
TMJ Treatment
Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) are bite disorders that create tension and pain in the teeth, face, and jaw. We often recommend nightguards for patients with TMJ disorders because they fully cover teeth. They also prevent teeth clenching and grinding.
Botox is also an option for patients who experience migraines or orofacial pain from TMD. Dr. Shayota can inject Botox into key areas of the face to relax the facial muscles. For more information on how Dr. Shayota diagnoses and treats TMJ disorders, visit TMJ Treatment.
Restorative Dentistry FAQs
Learn more about our restorative dentistry treatment in Franklin, MI, with answers to these commonly asked questions:
Do I have gum disease if my gums bleed regularly?
If your gums bleed when you brush your teeth, you most likely have gingivitis. Gingivitis, or gum inflammation, is a common problem. While this is a precursor to gum disease, it doesn’t mean that gum disease is inevitable. To prevent bleeding, floss before you brush your teeth to remove bacterial buildup from your gums. You should see results once you consistently floss.
Am I a candidate for dental implants?
Dental implants can be a great option for people who want to replace missing teeth, but not everyone is automatically a candidate. Ideal candidates for dental implants should have good overall oral health and enough healthy jawbone to support the implant.
However, if you don’t meet these requirements right now, there’s still hope! Dentists can provide treatments to prepare your mouth for implants. For example, if you’ve lost bone in your jaw, a bone graft can add the support you need. If you have gum disease, we provide treatments can restore your gum health. These treatments not only improve your smile but also help ensure that dental implants are successful.
Are dental crowns painful?
Before dental crown treatment, we will numb the treated tooth or teeth. Patients will not feel pain during the dental crown treatment. They can take over-the-counter pain medication after treatment to minimize discomfort. You can stick to a soft diet after treatment to prevent pain and sensitivity.
Can restorative dentistry treat teeth damaged by accidents or injuries?
Yes, treatments like dental crowns can help repair broken or cracked teeth. If a tooth is knocked out or severely damaged, a dental implant or bridge can replace it. These treatments not only restore the tooth’s appearance but also help with its function to make it easier to chew and speak. A dentist will assess the damage and recommend the best treatment to restore your tooth to its normal condition.
Can restorative dentistry treat bite issues?
Yes, restorative dentistry can help treat bite issues. If your bite is uneven or you have problems like overbite, underbite, or misaligned teeth, restorative treatments can improve how your teeth fit together.
If you have missing teeth, gaps in your smile can make it hard to bite and chew. Dental implants and implant-supported restorations restore a balanced bite. Also, treatments like tooth crowns can cover worn or damaged teeth. Crowns can add to worn enamel and create an even look.
How much are restorative dentistry services?
The cost of restorative dentistry treatments can vary based on the type of procedure. It can also depend on the extent of work you need. Dental insurance often covers some restorative treatments, especially if they are medically necessary. We will provide a cost estimate for you before treatment. You should also check with your insurance provider to see what they cover.
