Dental work should never give itself away. Even when you’re doing something as dramatic as replacing missing teeth, your restorations should look entirely natural. In order to achieve dental work that looks like your own teeth, you’ll need to find a talented restorative dentist with an eye for aesthetics. Fortunately, Hinsdale Dentistry has three such professionals at your disposal! Read on to learn more about how we craft aesthetically ideal smile restorations.
How Restorative Dentistry Combines Form and Function
Every dental restoration works to rebuild damaged, weakened, or compromised teeth. But not every restoration can accomplish these tasks while still looking great. With modern materials, contemporary technology, and a skilled hand guiding the process, Hinsdale Dentistry manages to craft restorations that astound. Browse our Smile Gallery for examples of our stellar work.
A few of the ways we manage to make restorations look so good include
- Understanding your dental goals – You know what you want your smile to look like, and you know it better than anyone. While your dentist will use his or her professional opinion to determine what’s possible, you should have input throughout the process. In this way, we ensure that you’ll be thrilled with the results.
- Ensuring perfect fit – We take precise impressions and don’t stand for anything less than a perfect mold. Your restorations will fit well and meet your gum line for a completely natural look.
- Adding support with implants – Dental implants lend dentures, partials, and bridges additional security. This level of support makes those restorations look and feel more at home in your mouth. If you’re interested in implants, visit our Dental Implants Page to learn more.
- Using all-porcelain veneers and crowns – Porcelain is the most aesthetic dental material available. It’s not only available in countless shades, but also reflects light the way natural enamel does (allowing some to pass through its surface and reflecting the rest). Your porcelain restorations will never be recognizable as what they truly are.
- Utilizing the most up-to-date fabrication methods and technologies
- Augmenting our years of expertise with ongoing education and research
Natural-Looking Dental Restorations in Hinsdale
- Porcelain Crowns – All-porcelain crowns are both beautiful and durable. When a porcelain crown is used to rebuild a tooth, it becomes a seamless part of the smile. And with proper care, it will remain in place for many years.
- Dental Implants – While dental implants aren’t technically a visible part of smiles, they allow restorations that are to be all the more attractive. A dental implant attaches to the jaw bone, becoming connected to the hard tissue. Once it has formed this bond, it provides an unparalleled source of support for accompanying restorations. We recommend pairing dental implants with restorations when replacing many missing teeth. The end results may surprise you – even removable dentures will feel comfortably in place, and will never slip or click.
- Bridges – A dental bridge surrounds a pontic, or false tooth, with crowns. It fits over remaining teeth to span a gap. Bridges are typically fixed, meaning they are cemented in place. A bridge with porcelain crowns will look and feel natural.
- Dentures – Full or partial dentures replace some or all of your teeth. While dentures typically present some fit- and function-related problems, modern dentures from Hinsdale Dentistry will feel right in your mouth. Implant-supported dentures provide additional benefits, as they are firmly anchored to your gums.
