Restorative Dentistry

Restorative Dentist in Valrico

If you have lost, damaged, or decaying teeth, or if previous dental work such as metal fillings or poorly fitting dentures are no longer working for you, restorative dentistry is the way to return the teeth to their their normal look and function. Depending on the condition of your teeth, gums and mouth, Valrico, Florida restorative dentist Dr. Jeff Bynum will choose from any of the following procedures to give you a healthy, natural-looking smile:

• Tooth-colored fillings – Instead of unsightly mercury-silver fillings, we offer composite resin, color-matched so that they blend in seamlessly with the rest of your teeth.
• Inlays and onlays – For large cavities or cracked or chipped teeth, fillings sometimes aren’t enough. A restorative dentist will use inlays and onlays which are placed on top of the tooth structure to build it up and strengthen it. Made from durable porcelain or ceramic and exhibiting the colors and translucence of natural teeth, inlays and onlays provide lasting strength to damaged or weakened teeth.
• Porcelain Crowns – Sometimes there isn’t enough healthy tooth to adhere an onlay. In these cases, Dr. Bynum will instead place porcelain crowns, which serve as protective caps over damaged teeth.
• Dental Implants – If you’ve lost a tooth completely and want to avoid the discomfort and hassles of dentures, then dental implants are the way to go. These strong, long-lasting porcelain replacements are color-matched to your existing teeth and they attached to metal posts that are securely anchored into your mouth.
