Restorative Dentistry in Heath TX

So You Can Feel Whole Again

It’s easy to forget how important your teeth are—until one breaks or goes missing! The old saying, “You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone” rings particularly true here. Teeth help you to speak properly, to enjoy a healthy diet, and to share joyous smiles with loved ones. At KB Dental, we understand the importance of healthy teeth for a healthy lifestyle. Thankfully, if you have a tooth or teeth suffering from damage or decay, we can easily repair and restore your smile so you can get back to the things that matter most.

Tooth-Colored Fillings

You’ve probably had at least one cavity filled in your life—maybe you still have some ancient ruins of metal fillings lurking in your mouth from the dark days of dentistry’s past. Thankfully, today, we use durable and natural-looking tooth-colored resin to fill cavities, stop decay, and restore teeth back to their healthy, beautiful condition.

Compared with their old metal counterparts, tooth-colored fillings can better withstand biting forces and temperature changes so they’re more stable and durable. Tooth-colored fillings are also a healthier alternative because they don’t use toxic mercury, and—of course—one of the best features is they blend in seamlessly with your natural teeth so there’s no more unsightly dark spots.

Inlay & Onlays - Restorative dentistry Heath TX

Inlays & Onlays

If you have an area of decay that’s too large to fill with a simple filling, but not extensive enough to warrant a full crown, you may be the perfect candidate for an inlay or onlay. Inlays and onlays are intermediate restorations that allow us to fill large cavities, replace old metal fillings, and prevent the need for removing healthy tooth structure as would be required for a full crown.

Inlays are smaller and repair damage contained within the cusp or the outer ridges of the tooth, while onlays are larger and extend beyond the cusp. Inlays and onlays are a wonderful conservative treatment option that can be color-matched to blend in seamlessly with your natural teeth. No one will ever know the difference and you’ll be able to smile with confidence knowing your tooth is healthy and your smile is seamless.

Crowns

At KB Dental, our crowns are fit for royalty—but you don’t have to have royal blood to receive the royal treatment! If you have a tooth that’s been damaged by decay or injury and is past the point of repairing with a filling, inlay or onlay, we recommend a crown to bring the tooth back to full health, function, and aesthetics.

Crowns are tooth-shaped caps fitted over any remaining healthy tooth structure. Crowns do require preparation of the natural tooth to make room for the crown and ensure the best fit and strongest bond. At KB Dental, we make high-quality dental crowns from durable and natural-looking tooth-colored porcelain that looks, feels, and functions just like the real thing.

Bridges

If you’re missing a tooth or multiple teeth, you may need a bridge to fill the gap and restore balance, health, function, and aesthetics to your smile. If the missing tooth is in the front, replacing it is an obvious decision, but many folks ask us, “Do I need to replace it if it’s in the back and it doesn’t bother me?” The short answer is, yes.

When teeth go missing, the surrounding teeth will begin to shift and rotate to fill in the gap. This can cause a domino effect of problems including alignment and bite changes, TMJ and headaches. Porcelain bridges consist of one or more fabricated teeth, anchored to surrounding teeth with crowns on either side, and can help prevent all the negative consequences associated with missing teeth.

Dentures & Partials

We know the loss of your natural teeth can be traumatic—there’s a reason we have stress dreams about losing teeth!—but replacing them shouldn’t have to be. At KB Dental, we love to create durable, functional, and natural-looking dentures and partial dentures that dramatically improve our patients’ lives for the better.

If you’re considering dentures for the first time, or you’re dealing with old dentures that don’t stay put, we would love to help you. With our modern dentures options, you can speak naturally, enjoy your favorite foods again, and smile with the confidence that these are your best years yet.
