Rebuild Your Smile
Restorative Dentistry Summerville
Dental Implants
Dental implants can provide incredible support for your dental crowns, dental bridges, or dentures. These titanium posts feel like natural tooth roots, and can stop the loss of bone mass in your jaw that can occur in the absence of tooth roots. Dental implants require at least two surgeries, and can take eight months or more to heal, but can provide you with more than 40 years of unparalleled support for your restorations. To learn more about how dental implants placed at our restorative dentistry practice can help restore health and function to your smile, please contact our office serving Summerville, South Carolina today.
Dental Bridges
Missing teeth can disrupt the balance of your jaws, affect your ability to chew and speak properly, and cause your smile to look unhealthy. Dental bridges are custom-made replacement teeth designed to fit comfortably among your natural teeth, restoring balance and an attractive appearance to your smile. Like crowns, bridges are available in a variety of materials that can provide enhanced form or function, depending upon your individual needs. You can anchor your dental bridge with a dental implant or two adjacent dental crowns.
Dental Crowns
If you have a tooth that is decayed or severely damaged, Dr. Hess can repurpose the tooth for use as a foundation for a dental crown. Sental crowns look and feel natural, providing aesthetic and functional benefits. They can restore balance to the way your jaws rest together, improve your ability to chew comfortably, mitigate or eliminate pain and discomfort, and restore a healthy appearance to your smile. Crowns are available in a variety of materials, including porcelain, which looks the most natural and is best suited for replacing front teeth, and metal alloy, the sturdiest variety, which is best suited for replacing back teeth.
