Strengthen and Repair Your Smile with Restorative Dentistry

A healthy mouth needs strong teeth, vibrant gum tissue, and powerful jaws to function properly. But, our mouths can’t function properly with missing teeth, cavities, gum disease, or low jawbone density. With restorative dentistry, however, patients can repair dental damage and restore their oral health before it leads to significant systemic health problems.

At Villa Rica Family Dental, we are proud to offer a wide range of restorative solutions to help you strengthen and repair your smile. If you need to address dental damage, periodontal disease, or low jawbone volume, then don’t delay–contact our dentist in Villa Rica, GA at (770) 459-4131.

What are my restorative dentistry options?

Dr. Stacey McDowell offers a full suite of restorative dentistry options, including:

Dental Crowns and Fillings

Dental crowns and composite fillings are common restorative treatments for dental damage, such as:

• Cavities
• Chips or cracks
• Pits or grooves
• Weak or structurally-compromised teeth

Dr. Stacey can use the tooth-colored composite resin to fill in pits, cracks, or cavities in the teeth, as well as cover minor cosmetic flaws. Dental crowns, however, are tooth-shaped ‘caps’ that completely cover a damaged tooth to restore its regular function and appearance.

Root Canal and Extractions

Untreated cavities can bore deeper into a tooth, resulting in a painful root canal infection. Controlling the infection with antibiotics is the first step, but root canal therapy may be necessary to save the patient’s tooth and oral health. 

In some cases, Dr. Stacey may not be able to save a damaged or infected tooth. In a last-ditch effort to save your oral and overall health, Dr. Stacey may recommend an emergency tooth extraction. 

Whatever the case, our team will ensure your complete comfort with anxiety-reducing sedatives and prescription-strength local anesthesia.

Periodontal Care

Gum disease is a progressive condition that destroys gingival (gum) tissue, weakens teeth, and erodes the jawbone.

Experts estimate that approximately half of all adults over the age of 30 have some form of gum disease (also called periodontal disease). And, research indicates that periodontal disease is largely responsible for the nearly 120 million adults who are missing at least one tooth.

Periodontal care with Dr. Stacey allows you to treat, manage, or even reverse gum disease before it wreaks havoc on your oral and systemic health.

Bone Grafting

Tooth loss and gum disease can deteriorate the jawbone over time. Dr. Stacey may suggest a dental bone graft to fortify the jaw, improve your oral function, or prepare for dental implants. 

Dental Bridges and Partials

Patients with one or more missing teeth may complete their smiles with personalized, restorative prosthetics like dental bridges or partials. These comfortable oral appliances look and act just like your natural teeth.

Dentures

Total tooth loss can make speaking and eating much more challenging. Patients can replace entire rows of missing teeth with high-quality, natural-looking dentures.

Dental Implants

Want a permanent solution to replace missing teeth? Dental implants are long-lasting, safe, and effective, making them a superior tooth-replacement option.
