Restorative dentistry helps repair damaged teeth and replace missing ones. Our treatments are useful for patients who have trouble biting, chewing, or speaking. At our dental office in Arlington, TX, we offer restorative dentistry services that improve how your teeth look, feel, and function. We also welcome new and returning patients to explore other dental services we provide.
Restorative Dentistry in Arlington, TX
No matter what problem you have, our dentists will make a treatment plan to help you achieve the best oral health possible. Sometimes restorative treatments overlap with cosmetic ones, but the main goal is to save your natural teeth when we can.
If we can’t save a tooth, we may need to remove it and replace it with something that works and looks just like the real thing. Dr. Jennifer Nguyen, Dr. Sang Kwon Seo, and Dr. Emmanuel Najera offer many ways to restore your smile.
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge can fill the gap and bring back the look and function of your smile if you’re missing one or more teeth. Our bridges can be supported by crowns on nearby teeth or secured with dental implants. While both options work well, we often suggest implant-supported bridges because they’re stronger, more stable, and provide a lasting solution.
Dental Crowns
A dental crown is like a protective cap that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth. It helps restore the tooth’s shape, strength, and look. Crowns also complete dental implants and hold bridges in place. We take extra care to ensure your crown blends in naturally with your smile. Using advanced technology and high-quality materials, it will look and feel just like a real tooth.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a long-term solution for missing teeth. These small titanium posts act like artificial roots and provide a solid base for crowns, bridges, or even dentures. Implants not only make restorations more secure but also help you chew and speak comfortably. If you’re looking into dental implants, we’re happy to offer second opinions and answer questions so you make the best choice.
Dentures
If you’ve lost multiple teeth or need a full set replaced, partial and complete dentures can fix that. We offer both traditional and implant-supported dentures. Traditional dentures rest on your gums and you can remove them. Implant-supported dentures provide a stronger and more stable fit.
Our modern dentures look as natural as possible. You won’t have to worry about them standing out or feeling uncomfortable.
TMJ Treatment
Do you grind your teeth at night or feel tension in your jaw? Some patients clench or grind their teeth during stressful times without even knowing it. See us right away if you have signs of tooth wear and jaw pain. A custom night guard can help protect your teeth from wear and tear while also relieving jaw pain.
Wearing a night guard can also extend the life of fillings, crowns, and other dental work by preventing damage from grinding. Visit us for TMJ disorder evaluations and treatment options.
Gum Disease Treatment
Healthy gums are just as important as healthy teeth. If your gums are swollen, bleeding, or tender, you may have gum disease. Our gum disease treatment can help restore your gum health and prevent bigger problems in the future.
Healthy gums are essential for comfort, overall oral function, and the first line of defense against disease. Ignoring gum issues can lead to bigger dental issues later on. We use the latest technology to diagnose and treat gum disease, and help protect both your smile and overall health.
What is a Full Mouth Restoration?
A full mouth restoration is like a complete makeover for your teeth and gums. It’s a detailed dental plan that uses restorative dentistry services in our Arlington, TX office to fix problems that affect your bite and overall oral health. This treatment is for people who have multiple serious issues, such as:
- Several missing, broken, or severely decayed teeth
- Chronic pain from a misaligned bite or TMJ (jaw joint) problems
- Advanced gum disease that has weakened teeth
- Teeth worn down from grinding (bruxism) or years of use
What Does Full Mouth Restoration Fix?
If your teeth are badly decayed or cracked, the dentist can repair them with fillings, crowns (caps), or veneers to restore strength and function.
We can also fill gaps from lost teeth with dental implants, bridges or dentures. If you have gum disease, we will recommend a deep cleaning to heal your gums.
TMJ treatment is also a great option if you have pain from teeth grinding. Worn teeth can also contribute to TMD with jaw pain, headaches, or trouble chewing. We may recommend crowns to adjust your bite
How Does It Work?
Dr. Nyugen will start with a thorough exam, including X-rays and scans, to understand all the issues in your mouth. Then, she’ll create a step-by-step plan just for you. Treatment may include:
- Deep cleanings to treat gum disease
- Tooth extractions if some teeth can’t be saved
- Fillings, crowns, or veneers to repair damaged teeth
- Implants, bridges, or dentures to replace missing teeth
- Bite adjustments
Since full mouth restoration involves multiple procedures, it can take several months to complete. But the results are worth it. You’ll have a healthier, stronger smile that feels more comfortable when you eat, speak, and smile.
If your teeth are causing you pain or making everyday life difficult, a full mouth restoration could be the solution. Dr. Nyugen will guide you through each step to rebuild your smile the right way.
