Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing and restoring the function and appearance of your teeth. If you have damaged or missing teeth, restorative dentistry can help you chew, speak, and smile with comfort and confidence again. Dr. Charles Wahl provides a range of services to meet your needs, including dental bridges, dental crowns, dental implants (restoration only), dentures, TMJ treatment, and periodontal disease treatment. Dr. Wahl also works with patients suffering from poor oral health or those in need of several procedures to restore function and aesthetics to their smiles. A full mouth restoration can address dental problems affecting the teeth, gums, and jaw structure.
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge can fill the gap if you have one or more missing teeth. A bridge is made up of one or more artificial teeth that are anchored in place by crowns on the adjacent teeth. This not only restores your smile but also helps maintain the shape of your face and prevents other teeth from shifting out of place. Getting a dental bridge usually involves two visits. Dr. Wahl will prepare the surrounding teeth and take impressions during the first visit. The custom-made bridge will be placed and adjusted during the second visit to ensure a perfect fit.
Dental Crowns
A dental crown is a cap that covers a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its shape, size, and strength. Crowns can also improve the appearance of your teeth. They are often used to protect a tooth after a root canal, to cover a large filling, or to restore a broken tooth. The process of getting a crown typically takes two visits. During the first visit, Dr. Wahl will prepare your tooth and take impressions. At the second visit, the custom-made crown will be cemented in place, giving you a strong, natural-looking tooth.
Dental Implants (Restoration Only)
Dental implants are a popular option for replacing missing teeth. While we do not perform the surgical placement of implants, we specialize in restoring dental implants. After an oral surgeon places the implant, Dr. Wahl will create and attach a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture to the implant. This restoration looks and functions like a natural tooth, providing a permanent and stable solution for missing teeth.
Dentures
Dentures are a removable option for replacing missing teeth. They can be full dentures, replacing all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw, or partial dentures, replacing a few missing teeth. Modern dentures are comfortable and natural-looking, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Dr. Wahl will work with you to create custom dentures that fit your mouth perfectly and meet your specific needs.
TMJ Treatment
TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders can cause pain and discomfort in the jaw, face, and neck. If you have symptoms like jaw pain, headaches, or clicking sounds when you open and close your mouth, you might have a TMJ disorder. Dr. Wahl offers various treatments to help relieve TMJ pain, including custom mouthguards, physical therapy, and lifestyle changes. Our goal is to help you find relief and improve your quality of life.
Periodontal Disease Treatment
Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is an infection of the gums that can damage the soft tissue and bone that support your teeth. If left untreated, it can lead to tooth loss. We offer comprehensive periodontal disease treatment to help you maintain healthy gums. Treatment may include deep cleaning (scaling and root planing), medication, and improved oral hygiene practices. Our team will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan to address your specific needs and keep your gums healthy.
