Smileplicity Dentistry offers a full range of restorative dentistry treatments in Raleigh to address everything from minor cavities to missing teeth.
Dental fillings are used to repair teeth affected by decay. After removing the damaged portion of the tooth, a tooth-colored composite filling is placed to restore strength and protect against further decay. Composite fillings are durable, natural-looking, and can usually be completed in a single visit.
When decay or infection reaches the inner pulp of a tooth, root canal therapy may be necessary to save it. During treatment, the infected tissue is removed, the tooth is cleaned, and the space is sealed to prevent reinfection. Root canal therapy relieves pain and helps preserve your natural tooth instead of requiring extraction.
Dental crowns are custom-made restorations that cover and protect weakened or damaged teeth. Crowns are often recommended after root canal therapy, for cracked teeth, or for teeth with large fillings. They restore strength, shape, and appearance while allowing you to bite and chew comfortably.
Dental bridges replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth between neighboring natural teeth or crowns. Bridges help restore proper bite alignment, prevent surrounding teeth from shifting, and improve the look and function of your smile.
Dentures are a reliable solution for replacing multiple missing teeth. Whether full or partial, dentures are custom-designed to fit comfortably and look natural. They restore your ability to eat and speak confidently while supporting facial structure.
Choosing restorative dentistry offers more than just cosmetic improvement—it plays a critical role in protecting your overall dental health. Some of the key benefits include:
Improved oral function:
Restorative treatments make it easier to chew and speak properly.
Pain relief:
Addressing decay or infection helps eliminate discomfort and sensitivity.
Prevention of further damage:
Repairing teeth early reduces the risk of worsening decay or tooth loss.
Enhanced appearance:
Restored teeth look natural and blend seamlessly with your smile.
Long-term oral health:
Strong, healthy teeth support proper alignment and jaw health.With modern techniques and materials, restorative dentistry treatments are comfortable, efficient, and designed to last for years.
Root canal therapy can save an infected tooth from further damage, and is often the best procedure to treat severe decay in order to avoid an extraction. If an infected tooth goes untreated, the damage can become more severe and can result in tooth loss. Signs that your tooth may be infected include extreme sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures, pain when chewing or applying pressure, or a tooth that is turning gray in color. Notice any of these symptoms? Contact our Raleigh team right away for an evaluation to see if a root canal is necessary.
During a root canal, Dr. Atari cleans the damaged area and removes infected pulp, then fills the empty space with a substance that keeps your tooth’s structure intact. The procedure is fairly routine, and a local anesthetic is used to make it as comfortable as possible for you.
Dental crowns are an incredibly versatile dental treatment, but are most commonly used to protect weak teeth. For instance, you may need a crown after a root canal, or to cover a broken tooth to keep it from getting damaged further. Crowns can also cover teeth with large fillings. They’re used in bridge work and even for cosmetic purposes. When you come to Smileplicity, Dr. Atari will allow you to discuss your needs and go over your restorative options with you. So if you suspect you may need a crown, give the team a call to set up an appointment today.
Dentures are a tried and true way to replace missing teeth. Compared to other dental prosthetics like dental implants, dentures are relatively simple in production and placement. Full and partial dentures are designed to mimic the appearance and shape of your natural teeth. Though you may need to have some teeth extracted to make room for a full arch of dentures, extensive surgery is not involved when the devices are placed. They can be removed for cleaning, eating and sleeping and will last several years with proper care.
If you are missing one or more teeth, and are not a good candidate for oral surgery, dentures may be the right restorative option for you. Contact us today to set up a consultation with Dr. Atari and go over your options.
