Do you need to see a restorative dentist who will be able to provide you with a smile that looks beautiful once again? Or, are you having problems chewing now that certain teeth are missing? Whatever your reason for needing to have teeth restored, or wanting to have a smile makeover, you will want to see us at our dental practice, Avanti Dental Care. Our local dentist in Longmont, Dr. Juan Sauza, is an expert in restorative dentistry and will be able to provide you with the perfect option for making your teeth fully functional and attractive once again.
Sometimes patients will want to have a complete smile makeover so that their smiles will look more attractive. Other times, patients need to have many teeth restored due to tooth loss from gum disease. Whatever your individual smile and tooth situation is, our dentist will carefully assess your individual situation and make specific recommendations based on what will work best for you. If you have missing teeth, they can be replaced with fixed or removable bridges or dentures. Bridges can be used when there is one tooth or several teeth in a row that need to be replaced. The missing tooth will be replaced with a dental crown that is supported by the adjacent teeth. This structure can be fixed or removable. It is important that missing teeth are filled in because if this does not happen, other teeth may try to move into the place of the missing tooth. This can cause a total disruption in your oral structure, and should always be addressed by our local dentist in Longmont.
If you have teeth that simply need to be cosmetically restored, our local dentist in Longmont may recommend that you get porcelain veneers. Porcelain veneers are thin porcelain shells which are made to cover only the front portion of a tooth. They are permanently attached to the tooth and are made to last for many years. However, porcelain veneers do not add any strength or function to the tooth. If the tooth is damaged and needs to be strengthened, or if it has too many fillings in it and is possibly in danger of cracking, our dentist may help restore the tooth using a porcelain crown. Sometimes dental veneers or porcelain crowns can be used to solve the same cosmetic dental problem, with one treatment being slightly better than the other. Our dentist will always explain your different treatment opportunities and discuss them thoroughly with you.
