Restorative Dentistry
Teeth take a beating over a lifetime. Decay gets into one, a filling from twenty years ago gives out, a molar cracks on something hard, or a tooth comes out and never gets replaced.
Restorative dentistry is the repair side of what we do. It ranges from a filling that takes one visit to a denture that takes several, and the right answer depends on how much of the tooth is left and what is happening around it.
A missing tooth is worth taking seriously even when it does not hurt. The teeth on either side start to lean toward the gap, the tooth above or below it drifts down, and your bite slowly changes. What starts as one missing tooth becomes a problem involving three or four.
At Summit Dental Canton this category covers fillings, extractions, implants, bridges, and dentures. We will lay out every option that genuinely fits your situation, tell you what each one costs, and let you pick. If a tooth needs care we do not provide here, we will tell you that plainly and point you to someone who does.
Dental Emergency?
Dental Implants
A titanium post placed in the jaw to hold a replacement tooth that stays put, cleans like a natural one, and leaves the teeth beside it alone.
Dental Fillings
Repair for a cavity, usually done in a single visit, before a small problem becomes a big one.
Dentures
Custom full dentures that restore your bite and the shape of your smile, fitted and adjusted until they truly work for you.
Dental Bridges
A fixed replacement that spans a gap, anchored to the healthy teeth on either side, so you chew evenly again.
Tooth Extractions
Gentle removal of a tooth that cannot be saved, with a plan for the gap before you leave.
