Restorative Dentistry in Topsham ME

Our dental practice doesn’t rely on traditional amalgam crowns that often result in highly visible dark spots in your smile. We can instead provide you with restorations made out of zirconia and porcelain, which closely match the appearance of your natural teeth. It typically takes two appointments to place a dental crown; rest assured that you can count on the results to last a very long time (more than 10 years in many cases).

Do you not want to have to get a silver amalgam filling that makes it all too obvious that you have had dental work performed? At our dental office, you can instead get a tooth-colored filling made out of composite resin. This material will allow you to keep more of the natural structure of your tooth, and it can blend in with your enamel, meaning you can protect your tooth from further decay while also maintaining a smile that you can show off with confidence.

Are there cracks, chips, and stains all throughout your mouth? Do you have multiple teeth that are broken or missing? A personalized full mouth reconstruction could be just the answer you need. The process involves multiple restorative dentistry treatments that have been chosen to restore your entire smile, thus enhancing your oral health as well as your confidence. Upon completing an examination of your mouth, we can discuss the specific steps that might be needed for your full mouth reconstruction.

Dentures act as a replacement for entire sets of teeth on the upper and lower gums, but dental implants are a more specific technique that replaces an individual tooth. If you have lost only a few teeth due to dental work, or mishap, a dental implant is an excellent substitute.

It should be noted that dental implants, while a durable solution, may also require some extra care. A dental implant essentially affixes a titanium screw into the gums and bone, to which the implant itself is attached. One of the properties of titanium, aside from being an incredibly tough metal, is that it does not provoke a response from the immune system. Extra care should be taken to ensure the gums around the implant are kept clean. If bacteria get into the sensitive gum area around the screw, it could lead to infection.

Dentures or “false teeth” as they are more commonly known have been a reliable oral tool for centuries.

Regular dentures are a full replacement of both sets of teeth, both upper and lower. Partial dentures are any number of configurations for people that may still have some functioning teeth remaining that they wish to keep. This includes some back teeth, front teeth, or any other combination.
