Smile restoration is broad term that can mean many things for many patients. Typically, the goal with restoration is to ensure your smile looks and feels healthy, whether that means placing a few aesthetic crowns, or correcting gum disease and tooth loss.
Dr. Pescatore is skilled in all aspects of smile restoration, including performing minor repair to teeth or multi-step treatment plans to first create a foundation of health and build attractive teeth on top of it. When you seek smile restoration, both total oral health and wellbeing are served.
Correcting Gum Disease
If soft tissue isn’t healthy, any treatments provided to restore teeth or replace them can be compromised and may not last as long as you’d like. Successful full smile restoration starts with ensuring supportive tissue is healthy. If your initial examination reveals signs of gum disease, this problem can and should be corrected as a first step for best possible results.
Cosmetic Enhancements with Tooth-Colored Restorations
If your smile is otherwise healthy, meaning no signs of infection or of gum disease are present, but your teeth are worn, decayed, or discolored, natural-looking prosthetics are used to create better biting strength and improve your confidence.
We can create bright, attractive, and healthy smiles with tooth-colored fillings, porcelain veneers, dental bridges, and crowns. In preparing teeth for these treatments, decayed and compromised portions of enamel are buffed away, reducing the spread of damage to healthy tooth structures.
Implant-Supported and Hybrid Dentures for Partial or Total Tooth Loss
Tooth loss presents challenges for your health and your appearance. While traditional dentures are commonly used, they are secured to the gums by an adhesive and are not highly stable. Implant-supported or hybrid dentures are held in place by titanium posts that merge with the jawbone. If you are struggling with tooth loss and are thinking of getting dentures as a restorative treatment, or even if you have traditional dentures and would like a more stable bite, implant-supported teeth provide an ideal fix.
The stability of a removable overdenture is far superior to that of adhesive based dentures. An implant-supported denture has attachments that snap onto part of the implant appliance, making the overall chewing experience more satisfactory for the patient.
