Dental Restorations

When dental conditions do arise, dental restorations may be necessary. A dental restoration is a procedure that restores the health of your tooth. Fillings, bonding, crowns, bridges, and implants are all examples of dental restorations. Dr. Beth Kreider is highly skilled at prepping and placing dental restorations so that the comfort and function of your tooth is restored.

Composite or Amalgam Dental Fillings

Dr. Kreider utilizes both amalgam (silver) and composite (white) fillings in her office depending on the location and severity of your decay. Before placing a filling, she will gently and completely remove any decay from your tooth. Once the decay is gone from your tooth, Dr. Kreider will place either amalgam or composite material in your tooth to restore its function and protect it from decay.

Dental Bonding

Composite filling material can also be used for dental bonding. Dental bonding is a minor repair to your tooth when it is chipped or rough. Dental bonding can also be used for minor cosmetic improvements.

Quality Dental Crowns and Bridges

Dental crowns make larger repairs to teeth that have been cracked or broken. When your tooth is cracked, the structure become unstable and may split down the middle or develop a serious infection that could lead to pain and tooth loss. A crown is a porcelain or gold protective cover that fits directly over the top of your compromised tooth like a helmet. This helps to absorb some of the force from chewing so that your tooth is more stable.

A dental bridge is one of the most common methods of tooth replacement therapy. When you have a tooth extracted, if you do not replace the tooth, your adjacent teeth may begin to tip toward the empty space. This can cause problems with your bite and create more dental problems in the future.

A dental bridge consists of two crowns on the teeth adjacent to your missing teeth and a pontic (artificial tooth) crown in between. Bridges not only provide aesthetic solutions for a missing tooth, but also act as a space holder.

Dental Implant Restoration

Dental implants remain one of the most effective tooth replacement therapies available. A dental implant consists of a few parts: the implant (root) of your new tooth, the abutment, and the crown. We work with highly skilled oral surgeons on the accurate placement of your dental implant. Once your implant has healed, we provide a porcelain crown to stabilize your chewing surface, act as a space holder for your missing tooth, and also help to preserve your bone.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a crown?

A crown (or a cap) refers to a dental restoration that fits over the top of your tooth like a protective helmet. Crowns become necessary when your tooth is fractured, has deep decay, is damaged, or has become otherwise compromised.

A crown requires Dr. Ciula to prep your tooth. This means that she removes some of your tooth structure as well as all decay in order for your crown to fit over the top of your natural tooth. Your crown will be custom made just for you. The size, shape, and color of your crown will match your existing teeth.

Our teeth absorb so much force form eating and speaking that cracked teeth are pretty common. Dr. Ciula has performed numerous crown procedures and is highly skilled at creating successful and attractive crowns to help you maintain your dental health.

Failure to treat a fractured tooth could lead to tooth loss and pain. A fractured tooth is a time bomb and can split down the middle at any time. Often, a split tooth causes severe pain and almost always needs an extraction. If you have sensitivity or pain in any of your teeth, let us know so Dr. Beth Kreider can look at it and let you know if it requires a crown.

Why do I need to replace my fillings?

When we place a filling, we wish we could make it last forever, but because your teeth absorb force daily from chewing, talking, and possibly from grinding your teeth, fillings last on average from eight to ten years. Dr. Ciula does an excellent job with filling and eliminating decay. She tries to catch those potential problems as early as possible.

Over time, fillings can break down. They might just get old, or you might damage one by chewing on something particularly hard. No matter how you damaged it, the compromised filling can allow bacteria to enter your tooth. This means the potential for a cavity exists.

When we see you for your preventative exams and professional hygiene appointments, we look for any damage to your fillings. If we notice damage, it is important to replace your fillings as quickly as possible to avoid secondary decay.

In our Denver dental office, Dr. Ciula offers both white and amalgam fillings. The type of filling you choose might depend on your own personal preference, where your filling is located, and how much force it will receive when you chew.

If you have a tooth with a large amount of filling material, we may recommend a crown to stabilize and protect your tooth.
