Happy, senior patient looking at himself in a mirror with a pleased male dental assistantWhile millions maintain good oral hygiene, numerous individuals still struggle with dental problems affecting their smiles and oral health. At Raptou Family Dental, our restorative dentistry services repair and replace damaged or missing teeth, enhancing dental function and overall health.

Dental Implants


Dental implants are titanium posts designed to replace missing teeth. They are carefully placed into the jawbone by our dentist using specialized tools and techniques, where they support dental crowns, dentures, or bridges. This creates a final product that functions like a natural tooth. During the healing process, the titanium rod integrates with the surrounding bone, filling in gaps and restoring your ability to chew properly.

All-on-4


All-on-4 is a dental implant system that involves installing four dental implants into the jawbone. All-on-4 is an improvement on other traditional dental restorations that eliminates the need for dentures. Traditional dentures can get uncomfortable, inconvenient, and have a poor fit. All-on-4 implants use state-of-the-art technology to offer impeccable final results that also fit securely in your mouth. Ideal for restoring teeth lost to decay, gum disease, or accidents, All-on-4 implants integrate with bone tissue, creating a solid foundation for dental prostheses and ensuring long-lasting durability.

Dental Bonding


Dental bonding, primarily a cosmetic procedure under restorative dentistry, repairs cracked, chipped, or broken teeth. While restorative dentistry often focuses on replacing missing teeth, it also includes treatments like dental bonding that address minor imperfections. For instance, chipped or stained teeth might still function well but can detract from the beauty of your smile.

Dental bonding is the solution for these minor issues, restoring the aesthetics of your smile. During the procedure, our dentist applies a composite material matching the shade and quality of your teeth, roughens the surface of the tooth, adheres the bonding material, and then uses a specialized curing light to permanently set the bond.

Dental Bridge


Dental bridges are used to replace missing teeth. If a tooth is severely decayed, our dentist may recommend extraction, leaving a significant gap between the remaining teeth. Dental bridges are the ideal solution to fill this space. They not only restore the chewing function but also enhance your appearance and improve overall oral health. A dental bridge comprises two main components: the abutment, which acts as the supporting structure for the bridge, serving as connector posts between two natural teeth, and the artificial tooth, which bridges the gap left by the missing tooth.

Dental Crown


Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps placed over damaged teeth to restore their shape, size, and strength. They can be made from various materials, including resin, ceramic porcelain, metal, or a combination. The choice depends on factors like tooth location, gum tissue position, patient preference, and cost considerations. Dental crowns are necessary if you have undergone a root canal procedure, which can leave your tooth weakened and slightly smaller than the others. They are also essential for teeth that are chipped, broken, or stained, providing a way to cover the tooth and enhance its appearance among your natural teeth.

Dental Filling


Dental fillings are substances used to repair and restore the function, shape, and integrity of tooth structure that is lost due to decay (caries) or external injury. They are typically made from amalgam, composite resin, porcelain, gold, or glass ionomer. During the procedure, our dentist will remove the decayed area of a tooth and then insert the dental filling, where it becomes a permanent part of its structure.

Dentures


Commonly known as false teeth, dentures are a removable set of teeth made from materials like metal, acrylic, or nylon, fitting snugly over the gums. In restorative dentistry, dentures serve to replace missing teeth, addressing the challenges posed by multiple gaps. They are particularly beneficial for older individuals who may lose most or all of their teeth due to aging, helping to restore their ability to chew and speak as they did with a full set of natural teeth. Dentures are not affixed to the jawbone, making them removable. They stay in place on the gums primarily for eating and speaking.

Full Mouth Reconstruction


Full mouth reconstruction, as the term suggests, involves the complete rebuilding of the smile, encompassing all aspects from gum tissue to natural tooth structure. This complex process merges the science of restorative dentistry with aesthetic principles, aiming to enhance the beauty, function, and health of the mouth.

Inlays & Onlays


Inlays and onlays in restorative dentistry are two distinct methods for restoring teeth structures damaged by decay. Initially, dental inlays were utilized as an alternative to fillings for replacing material lost due to tooth decay. Nowadays, inlays and onlays serve similar purposes but are crafted from tooth-colored materials like porcelain, ceramic, or special dental composites. Inlays and onlays differ in their placement: inlays fit within the central part of the tooth, occupying the same areas as tooth pits and fissures. Onlays, however, extend over the pits and fissures, covering at least one of the tooth cusps.

Tooth Extractions


Tooth extraction involves the removal of teeth from the dental alveolus or socket in the alveolar bone. This procedure is often necessary for various reasons, primarily to address issues such as severe tooth decay that pose significant health risks. Tooth extraction is also a common practice in orthodontic treatments where overcrowding is an issue or in preparation for certain dental prosthetics. After extraction, various options like implants or bridges are available to replace the extracted tooth, ensuring that dental functionality and aesthetics are maintained.

Veneers


Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells crafted to cover the front surface of teeth, thereby enhancing their appearance. They are typically used to conceal a variety of dental imperfections, such as stains, unevenness, chips, and minor misalignments. Dental veneers are an ideal choice for those seeking long-term solutions to persistent aesthetic dental issues, particularly when alternatives like braces, retainers, or teeth whitening fail to achieve the desired results. Veneers not only contribute to an improved smile but also offer a conservative approach to changing the color and shape of the tooth.
