Types of Restorative Dentistry
Restorative dentistry services offered by Astoria Dental Group include:
- Bone grafting is a necessary procedure for restoring bone mass in the jaw prior to dental implant surgery. If you have experienced a loss of bone volume from gum disease, trauma or infection, Dr. Degel can effectively graft the required amount of bone from the chin or another part of the jaw. Bone grafting allows for dental implants to be anchored securely to the jaw.
- Dental implants are recommended for patients who have lost several teeth. Implants are artificial tooth roots that support prosthetic teeth that provide the benefits and functionality of natural teeth. Implants are placed in the jawbone, and last for many years with the proper care. Dr. Degel is a well-known implant dentist in the area, offering many years of experience with standard and immediate implant placement.
- Dentures are removable appliances that restore functionality to your mouth if you are missing several or more teeth. Made up of artificial teeth attached to a supporting structure, dentures resolve many of the problems associated with missing teeth. Whether you are in need of partial or complete dentures, our dental practice makes it a smooth and painless process.
- Mouth reconstruction combines several restorative dentistry services, such as the placement of dental implants, dentures, tooth-colored composite fillings or periodontal therapy for treating gum disease. Many individuals require full mouth reconstruction to restore the functionality, health and appearance of the smile. The skilled dental staff at Astoria Dental Group, serving Manhattan and surrounding areas, utilizes the latest in restorative dentistry for mouth reconstruction.
- Dental crowns are ideal for patients with damaged, decayed, or extremely worn teeth. A customized metal, ceramic or porcelain cap is placed over the weakened tooth in order to protect and preserve it. The crown gives the appearance of a beautiful, natural tooth, while allowing for normal chewing, biting and speaking capabilities.
- Dental bridges are a great restorative solution for one or more missing teeth. The bridge consists of a custom-made false tooth, attached to crowns, which cover the surrounding, existing teeth. Dr. Degel is experienced and proficient in dental bridge placement, making the procedure as easy and comfortable as possible.
