Restorative dentistry, as the name implies, has to do with restoring teeth to strengthen them as well as improve your smile’s aesthetics and health. More and more research confirms the benefits of sound restorative dentistry in the treatment of gum disease, head and neck pain (TMJ treatment) and overall health. Forms of heart disease have even been linked to dental issues. Fortunately, many of these dangerous maladies can be detected and treated early by qualified and advanced dental practices. Minneapolis dentist Dr. Jamie Sledd and her staff at Arbor Lakes Dental in Maple Grove take restorative dentistry seriously and care about the health and comfort of their patients.
We offer many restorative dentistry treatments that not only help restore your teeth and smile, but promote optimal oral health (and overall health in turn).
- Gum Disease — Gum disease, often referred to as periodontal disease, is a condition that causes swollen, bleeding gums, and if not treated with appropriate restorative dentistry techniques can lead to severe infection, loss of teeth and even affect your overall health. The earlier gum disease is caught, the easier it be treated. Advanced stages of gum disease may require aggressive treatments, including restorative dentistry and possibly surgery. Regular checkups with your Minneapolis dentist at Arbor Lakes Dental can help detect gum disease early.
- Dental Crowns — A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that replaces or restores a damaged or deteriorated tooth. Dental crowns are one of the most common restorative dentistry procedures and we at Arbor Lakes Dental in Maple Grove, MN, provide one of the best dental crown treatment experiences you can find.
- Tooth Colored Restorations — When cavities, or caries, have been removed from a damaged tooth, a tooth-colored filling can be used instead of the traditional silver or amalgam fillings. With the advances in molecular makeup of these composites and resins, your tooth-colored restoration may last a lifetime.
- TMJ Treatments — TMJ (Temporomandibular joint) Syndrome refers to pain in the joint where the lower jaw (mandible) connects to the skull (temporal bone). The muscles and tissues in this area control talking, chewing, yawning etc. and can therefor cause intense discomfort when issues exist. We can help treat TMJ syndrome and help you get on with a happy and healthy life.
