Restorative Dentistry
A plan for damaged or missing teeth.
North Jefferson Dental provides fillings, crowns, bridges, partial and complete dentures, and implant restorations. The right plan depends on the condition of your teeth and gums, how you bite, and what matters most to you.
Fillings
A filling may repair a smaller area of decay or damage while preserving the healthy tooth around it. An exam helps determine whether a filling provides enough support for the tooth.
Crowns
A crown covers and protects a tooth that needs more support than a filling can provide. Dr. Foreman can explain why a crown may be recommended and what the treatment would involve.
Bridges
A dental bridge can replace one or more missing teeth when the neighboring teeth can support the restoration. The plan should account for fit, function, and how the bridge works with the surrounding teeth.
Partial and complete dentures
Partial dentures replace some missing teeth, while complete dentures replace a full arch. Fit, appearance, daily care, and follow-up all matter when planning either option.
Implant restorations
North Jefferson Dental restores implants with the abutment and implant crown after the implant has been placed. This does not include implant placement. Dr. Foreman can explain the restoration process and any coordination the treatment may require.
Planning the work
Ask what Dr. Foreman found, which alternatives are available, how many visits may be involved, what the estimated costs are, and what maintenance the completed work may need.
