Restorative Care
Most dentistry looks like you’ve “had work done.” Our goal is to provide dentistry that is undetectable. We replace existing crowns and fillings with restorations that look and feel like your natural teeth. You do not have to settle for dental work that leaves you less than 100 percent confident and happy about your smile and appearance.
Crowns and Caps
Crowns are dental restorations that protect and improve the appearance of damaged, cracked or broken teeth. Dental crowns, often referred to as caps, sit over the entire part of the tooth that lies above the gum line. Crowns and caps are both cosmetic (they improve how teeth look) and restorative (they keep further damage from occurring in the teeth or gums).
Our Restorative Services
- Crowns: A full-coverage ceramic “cap” that is bonded to remaining tooth structure in order to provide maximum strength, full function, and natural aesthetics. Crowns are used when a large amount of natural tooth is destroyed by cavities, fractures, endodontic therapy, or trauma.
- Bridges: A bonded, ceramic denture used to replace one missing tooth by covering the adjacent teeth on either side of the missing tooth.
- Fillings: Replacing damaged tooth structure from cavities or trauma with tooth-colored bonded composite resin.
- Inlays: When a cavity is too large for a filling, a solid piece is cemented in place over the tooth.
- Root Canals (Endodontic Therapy): Root canals treat diseases or abscessed teeth. Once a tooth is injured, cracked or decayed, it is necessary to open the tooth and clean out the infected tissue in the center. This space is then filled and the opening sealed.
- Dentures: Removable prosthetic devices that replace missing teeth. They can be supported by gum tissue, remaining teeth, or implants.
Emergency & Same-Day Treatments
Sometimes life hands you a toothache, or some other urgent dental matter. When situations like these arise that need immediate care, Cedar Spring is there for you. We can often see patients same-day, or even on the weekends. Our goal is to provide the best dental and patient care, no matter what. Learn more about emergency dental care.
"At appointment everyone was very nice and professional. Took an x-ray and quickly determined I needed a root canal which Dr. Richards was able to perform right away. Definitely recommend Cedar Spring."
