Dental Crowns
Crowns are dental restorations used to repair teeth when a more conservative restoration. Like a dental filling, it effectively restores the form and function of the tooth. Crowns completely cover a tooth to improve its health, function and appearance. Your dentists at Tecumseh Dental Center may recommend a dental crown to:
- Protect a weakened or fractured tooth
- Restore a severely decayed tooth
- Complete a dental implant
- Follow up root canal therapy
- Support a dental bridge
- Improve the function of a misshapen tooth
Your dental crown will be custom made to fit your smile comfortably and aesthetically. We are pleased to utilize CEREC® one-visit crown technology to design, fabricate and place your custom dental crown.
Dental Implants
If you are missing one or more teeth, dental implants are an excellent solution for restoring the function and beauty of your smile. Dental implants are permanent tooth replacements that replace both the root and crown of the tooth for a secure, naturalistic restoration. The dental implant is surgically placed by an oral surgeon in the jawbone to provide a stable foundation for the artificial tooth. Following a period of healing, your talented dentists will place the dental implant restoration. Depending on your personal dental needs and on how many teeth are missing, your dental implant restoration may be:
- A dental bridge
- A dental crown
- A full denture
- A partial denture
Your dental implant restoration will improve your ability to chew, eat and speak properly, as well as restoring the appearance of your smile. If you have any questions about how dental implants can repair your smile, we invite you to call us at Tecumseh Dental Center today.
Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy, sometimes referred to as endodontic therapy, is a dental procedure used to treat infections and disorders of the dental pulp or nerve of the tooth. This may be caused by tooth decay, periodontal disorders or injury. If the dental pulp has become infected or damaged, root canal therapy can effectively restore the health of the tooth.
Thanks to advanced dental technology, techniques and anesthetics, root canal therapy is made to be as comfortable as possible. Our caring dentists and dental team will ensure that you have a pleasant, positive dental experience at our office.
Night Guards
With a night guard, patients can protect their smile from the damage caused by nightly teeth grinding and help with symptoms of TMD.
Dentures & Partials
It is important to replace missing teeth in order to maintain a healthy smile. There are many ways for our patients to replace lost teeth, and dentures or a partial is one of the most common ways. These appliances can effectively replace missing teeth and restore the function and beauty of your smile. A partial denture is used when some natural teeth remain, while a full denture is used to replace all of the teeth in the lower and/or upper jaw. Your dentists at Tecumseh Dental Center may recommend dentures or a partial in order to:
- Improve your ability to chew, eat and speak properly
- Enhance the appearance of your smile
- Restore lost facial volume
Dentures and partials are removable, and our dentists will ensure that your dentures fit your smile comfortably and securely.
Dental Bridges
Are you missing one or more teeth? A bridge can be used to effectively replace missing teeth and improve the function, health and appearance of your smile. A dental bridge is made up of two dental crowns and one or more artificial teeth. There are many benefits to this treatment and can help address many different problems following tooth loss. A dental bridge can improve your smile by:
- Improving your ability to chew, eat and speak
- Restoring lost facial volume
- Enhancing the beauty of your smile
- Preventing other teeth from shifting in the mouth
Bridges are fixed dental restorations and are permanent. This helps prevent slippage and patients don’t have to worry about “losing” this appliance. Dr. Brian Henry, Dr. Jason Snapp and Dr. Michelle Lecklitner will ensure that your custom bridge fits your smile comfortably and securely. We will also help make sure that your dental bridges blends into your smile. This way, patients can enjoy a long-lasting, natural looking restoration.
