Restorative Dentistry in Portland: Restore Your Confident Smile
At Family Dental Health in Portland, we understand that missing teeth are so much more than just missing teeth. It’s like a part of you has been lost, and it can have devastating effects on your oral health, your confidence, and your lifestyle. Thankfully, we live in an exciting time for dentistry where we can use durable and natural looking techniques and materials to replace and restore missing or damaged teeth to reunite our patients with their confidence in a complete, beautiful smile.
Natural-looking, Mercury-Free Composite Fillings
You probably remember a time in the not-so-distant past when the only way we could fill cavities and treat tooth decay was using metal fillings. Thankfully, with advances in modern materials, we now use a durable, natural-looking tooth colored resin that is safer, more stable, and more aesthetic than metal. Learn more on our Tooth Colored Fillings page.
Conservative Tooth Repair with Custom Inlays & Onlays
If you have a large cavity that cannot be treated with a simple filling, you may require an inlay or onlay. Inlays and onlays are more extensive repairs than fillings, but not extensive enough to require a crown. An inlay treats a cavity in the interior surface of the crown or the cusp, while an onlay can extend beyond the cusp.
Durable Dental Crowns & Caps for Damaged Teeth
If you have suffered extensive tooth decay that requires more than a filling, inlay or onlay, or extensive tooth damage from injury or general wear and tear, you may require a crown. A crown is a tooth shaped cap that fits over your tooth to repair it in form and function. Our crowns are strong, durable, and blend in seamlessly with your natural teeth. Check out our Crowns page to learn more.
Fixed Dental Bridges for Missing Tooth Replacement
If you have a gap in your smile caused by one or more missing teeth, we can restore your smile and your confidence with a porcelain bridge. Bridges are not only aesthetic, they are highly functional just like natural teeth, and balance the strong forces in your mouth to protect the integrity of your oral health. Learn more on our Bridges page.
Full, Partial & Implant-Supported Dentures in Portland
If you’ve lost most or all of your natural teeth due to traumatic injury, disease, decay, or the natural aging process, we can give you your smile and your life back with custom, life-like dentures from Family Dental Health. We offer full, partial, and implant-supported dentures to fit your needs. Learn more about your options on our Dentures page.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does restorative dentistry cost in Portland?
The cost of restorative care varies depending on whether you need a simple composite filling or a full set of implant-supported dentures. At Family Dental Health, we believe financial stress shouldn’t stand between you and a healthy smile. We work with a variety of insurance plans and offer flexible financing through CareCredit® and Compassionate Finance® to help make your treatment affordable. We’ll always provide a clear, upfront estimate before we begin your transformation.
What is the difference between a dental bridge and a dental implant?
A dental bridge “bridges” the gap created by missing teeth by anchoring to the healthy teeth on either side. An implant, however, replaces the actual root of the tooth and doesn’t rely on neighboring teeth for support. During your consultation in our South Macadam Ave office, Dr. Case will evaluate your bone density and oral health to help you decide which restorative option is the best fit for your lifestyle and long-term goals.
Does restorative dental work look natural?
Absolutely. The days of “metal mouths” are over! Modern, tooth-colored resins and durable porcelain mimic the translucency and strength of your natural enamel. Whether it’s a crown or custom dentures, our goal is for you to achieve an aesthetically pleasing and natural-looking smile. We want you to feel “reunited” with a smile that looks and feels like you.
