Restorative Dentist in Redding, California

When you need a crown, cap, or bridge, it’s usually beneficial to get it as soon as possible to avoid pain and further damage to your tooth structures. We offer same-day porcelain crowns and bridges, as well as traditional crowns made out of various materials.

Crowns are a great way to protect and strengthen chipped, cracked, or damaged teeth, while bridges are used when there is damage to more than one tooth and additional support is needed.

Taking care of your teeth, gums, and the surrounding tissue is important for your oral health. Catching common dental issues early, like gingivitis, can be the difference between reversing the disease and more extensive, restorative procedures.

It’s important to stay on top of your periodontal care because diseases like gingivitis can progress quickly into more serious issues without your awareness. If periodontal disease is caught early, prompt treatment is usually enough to avoid permanent damage. We recommend regular check-ups so we can keep you informed about the health of your gums.

Sometimes it’s not the visible portion of the tooth, but the root that becomes damaged or decayed and needs to be removed. Dental implants serve as a substitute for the root of the tooth. A crown can then be added to the implant using an abutment, allowing that tooth’s function and appearance to be restored.

Dental implants can be used to take the place of single tooth, groups of teeth, or in the case of implant dentures, they can even recreate your entire smile. Whether it’s one or many, dental implants can help restore not only the function of your teeth, but also the confidence that comes from a beautiful smile.

The most common type of dental restoration used to replace missing, damaged, or decaying teeth are fillings. Traditionally, fillings have been made out of gold, amalgam (a blend of metals), and porcelain to restore damaged teeth. We offer these classics, as well as more advanced filling materials like ceramic and new composites that are not only strong and durable, but metal free and offer impressive aesthetically pleasing and natural looking results.

Don’t let a minor issue become a major problem. We’ve got a wide selection of filling materials to find the best, most comfortable and durable fit.

Say goodbye to loud drills and scary needles! Modern technology allows for a more seamless, less intimidating filling experience. Drill-less laser fillings help reduce the fear of getting a filling and make for a generally painless solution for common molar cavities.

A laser is used to clean the affected area and kill any live bacteria left after cleaning. Then, because of the laser’s precision, it can be used to remove decayed portions of the tooth, preparing it for the filling agent. This effectively removes the necessity of the drill and creates a much more pleasant dental experience.

When several teeth are missing, damaged, or are unable to be saved, full or partial dentures are an excellent option to restore confidence and functionality to your smile. Having tooth structures is important not only for biting and chewing, but for retaining natural facial contours and overall oral health.

We offer both traditional dentures and implant dentures for individuals who have lost one or more teeth from age, disease, or a dental accident. Whether it’s replacing a missing tooth or two, or a full set of dentures, our caring and compassionate staff have a solution for you.

We offer gum therapy as an effective way to prevent and treat gum diseases before they cause structural damage to teeth below the gum-line. Gum therapy allows your dentist to clean away any hard to reach plaque buildup beneath your gum-line, leaving your mouth clean and healthy and reversing the negative impact of excess plaque.

Gum therapy can help treat gum issues that cause pain and inflammation, as well as help reverse negative effects of neglect. We use Cavitron technology to crate a comfortable, painless gum therapy experience and leave your gums feeling clean and healthy.

Full mouth rehabilitation and reconstruction often applies to individuals who have been cosmetically and functionally debilitated by a variety of causes, including congenital disorders, dental trauma, extensive tooth loss, and more. Some have been affected by medical conditions involving the head and neck area, TMJ jaw-joint disorders, or extensive dental decay.

Typically, full mouth reconstruction is an intensive procedure that involves rebuilding and/or replacing many, if not all of the teeth in the mouth, and can require the coordinated approach of a number of dental specialists.
