Restorative Dentistry in Houston Heights

Restore your cracked and damaged teeth with dental crowns, which are tooth-shaped "caps" that protect your tooth's natural root and revitalize the function of your bite. As one of the most versatile restorative dental procedures, dental crowns can also be used to cover up a tooth after receiving a root canal or to cap a dental implant. Since dental crowns can be made from many materials, they are ideal for a variety of restorative and cosmetic applications, so you can smile with confidence.

If a missing tooth is leaving a gap in your smile, a partial denture isn't your only option! A dental bridge can cover the space left behind by one, or several, missing teeth. It's permanently attached to your teeth on either side of the gap, so it won't slide around when you eat or speak. Plus, your bridge can be color-matched to blend seamlessly with the rest of your grin. Dental bridges can help keep your teeth from shifting, reducing the risk of bone loss and problems with your bite. Schedule a consultation today to see if a dental bridge can help you complete your smile!

If you're missing a tooth or need an extraction, it's important to find the right replacement to take its place. Dental implants restore the look of your smile, functionality of your bite, and can maintain your overall oral health. By mimicking your tooth's natural roots, dental implants are the most secure, long-lasting tooth replacement, and the only one that actually halts the progression of bone loss. Get in touch with us today to see if dental implants are right for you!

Tooth-colored fillings repair decay and restore the shape and strength of a damaged tooth, without the grey line of older metal materials. Bonded directly to the tooth, they preserve more of your natural structure and are usually completed in a single appointment.

Root canal therapy treats infection inside the tooth so the tooth itself can stay. The infected pulp is removed, the canal is cleaned and sealed, and the tooth is restored - usually with a crown - so it can go back to normal chewing.

When a tooth cannot be restored, a planned extraction removes it cleanly and protects the teeth and bone around it. We assess every alternative first, and discuss how the gap will be replaced before treatment begins.

Full and partial dentures replace missing teeth, restore chewing function and support the shape of the face. Each one is made from impressions of your own mouth and adjusted until it sits comfortably and looks natural.
