Restorative Dentistry: What to Expect at Your Initial Visit
A dental bridge from Artisan Dental is a fixed prosthetic solution that fills the gap left by one or more missing teeth, restoring your bite, your speech, and the appearance of your smile.
Our restorative teams at both the Burke, VA and Chevy Chase, MD offices craft bridges using tooth-colored ceramic materials matched to your existing enamel so the replacement blends naturally.
Bridges are anchored to the healthy teeth on either side of the gap, making them a stable and non-removable option for patients who are not candidates for implants or prefer a faster, non-surgical path to tooth replacement.
DENTAL BRIDGES
If you have several consecutive missing teeth, a dental bridge may be the optimal solution for restoring your smile.
This restorative treatment works by attaching itself to a set of dental crowns that serve as an anchor for the bridge. The bridge is then created by filling in the space with a series of prosthetic teeth that “bridge” the gap in your smile.
DENTAL CROWNS
Do you have tooth decay, an oral infection, trauma, or a dental injury? You may be a good candidate for a dental crown.
At Artisan Dental, we offer dental crowns that pose as a cap to your natural tooth to reduce the risk of further decay and to make an overall more aesthetically pleasing smile.
DENTAL IMPLANTS
As a top provider of dental implants in the Washington DC area, our team works tirelessly to bring you beautiful results.
What is an implant? When there is no viable natural tooth structure to support a tooth restoration, we will go in and add a titanium post (otherwise known as a dental implant) in your jaw to act as the root for future dental restorations later down the line.
DENTAL FILLINGS
When you need a dental filling, the goal is that others won’t know that you have had one done. You can do this by getting an “invisible filling”.
At our Bethesda restorative dentistry, we offer “invisible fillings” that virtually match the coloration of your natural teeth — while filling in the area where the tooth decay was present.
