Restorative Dental Care

Restorative dental care is a branch of dentistry that focuses on replacing or repairing missing or damaged teeth. Whether you receive dental implants, crowns, or other dental restoration, Dr. Ruba Rizqalla strives to improve your oral health and chewing ability.

Common Reasons for  Restorative Dentistry

Tooth decay, broken, infected, and missing teeth are why Dr. Rizqalla may recommend a restorative dentistry procedure. When tooth decay is so extensive that a normal filling will not preserve the tooth, you need an inlay or onlay to treat the decay. However, dental disease or trauma looks different from one person to the next. If you feel you need restorative dentistry, please request a consultation at Hudson View Dental, even if you do not see your specific problem listed here.

Types of Dental Restorations

Below are brief descriptions of the types of restorative procedures you may receive at Hudson View Dental. Remember that some types of restorative dentistry, such as crowns and implants, may overlap with cosmetic dentistry. Be sure to check with your insurance company before your appointment to ensure you have coverage for the procedure since most dental insurers do not cover cosmetic services. You may need to explain why you need the procedure in that case.

Bridges

A dental bridge is a permanent tooth replacement option for a single tooth or several consecutive teeth on the same arch. Dr. Rizqalla places brackets on the back of the teeth on either side of the missing tooth, providing stabilization and support for the replacement tooth.

Dental crowns

Crowns help to retain natural teeth at risk of extraction due to disease or trauma. Dr. Rizqalla removes some tooth enamel and reshapes your tooth to ensure that the crown fits snugly.

Dental implants

Implants can replace one, several, or all missing teeth. They differ from other tooth replacement options because they remain in your mouth permanently. Each tooth is supported by a titanium post that replaces your missing roots.

Dentures

Dentures are artificial teeth attached to a plastic retainer that can be removed when necessary. The suction power of the roof of your mouth helps to hold the top dentures in place, while denture adhesives work well for the bottom row of replacement teeth.

These are just a few examples of restorative dentistry procedures available at Hudson View Dental. Fillings, inlays, onlays, and root control therapy also fall under the category of restorative dental care in Piermont, NY. Please schedule a consultation to learn more about our services.
