A , tooth decay, or other related damage can cause significant oral health complications. Fortunately, you do not have to suffer for long thanks to restorative dental procedures offered here at Courtside Dental. Our Portage dentist, Dr. Paul vanLonkhuyzen, can help you regain back what you’ve lost for a more confident smile.
Take a few moments to check out what we have available for patients below.
Dental Bridges
If you’re self-conscious about missing teeth, our dentist can close the gaps left in your smile with a dental bridge. Consisting of a false tooth (known as a pontic) held in place by supporting teeth on either side of the gap, dental bridges are made to look just like your natural teeth.
Dental Crowns
Essentially “caps” for damaged teeth, dental crowns are recommended by our dentist when a tooth is worn down, cracked, or weakened. When a cavity is too large to be fixed by a filling or a root canal has been performed, a dental crown is also sometimes chosen.
Dental Fillings
Cavities happen. When they do, our dentist will remove the decayed portion of the tooth and fill the remaining area left behind. Tooth-colored fillings can also be used to repair cracked or broken teeth that have been worn down because of misuse, like grinding (bruxism).
Dental Implants
Dental implants are small, artificial tooth roots made of titanium that visually resemble a screw. Implants are a great slip-free alternative to dentures as they are surgically placed into the jawbone. Interested? Ask our dentist if you are a candidate for this permanent form of restoration.
