Restorative Dentistry - Dental Implants, Dentures and More in Northern Virginia
There are many reasons that teeth might need restorative dentistry. Northern Virginia cosmetic dentist Dr. Joseph Bolil treats patients who have problems ranging from small amounts of tooth decay, to large amounts of damage, to missing teeth. The restorative dentistry he offers encompasses dental implants, dentures and more for his Northern Virginia area patients. Whatever the treatment, he strives to make sure that it is natural-looking, long-lasting, and that it is performed with your comfort in mind.
Fillings, Inlays and Onlays
If you have tooth decay, the best way to ensure that the tooth will remain healthy is to remove the decay and then, depending upon the extant of the decays, restore the tooth with a filling, an inlay, or an onlay. Dr. Bolil performs these and other restorative dentistry procedures at his Northern Virginia office.
Root Canals
If the decay and damage to a tooth is very extensive, and the material inside the tooth has been infected, an advanced restorative dentistry procedure called "root canal therapy" can be used to remove the infected tissue, while saving the tooth. Prior to root canal therapy, these infected teeth would have to be extracted, but now they can be restored.
Dentures
If you have a number of missing teeth, Dr. Bolil can fit you for dentures at his Northern Virginia office. Dentures can give you back your ability to eat the foods you enjoy and get you smiling again. They will also fill out your lips and cheeks, restoring balance and definition to your face. Dentures come in two main types - full and partial.
Full Dentures
Dr. Bolil recommends full dentures for his Northern Virginia area patients who have lost all, or nearly all, of their natural teeth. Full dentures are complete sets of synthetic teeth that are custom-fitted to your mouth.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures, also known as removable bridges, are a good way of restoring your aesthetics and function of your smile when you have lost a number of teeth, but still have some strong, healthy teeth left. The synthetic teeth are attached to an unobtrusive structure that fits behind your natural teeth, and is affixed to them with precision clasps.
Dental Bridges
Fixed bridges can be a very effective way of replacing missing teeth. A dental bridge can easily restore the beauty of a smile that is marred by gaps, by literally "bridging" the gap left by a missing tooth. Bridges are attached to neighboring teeth, and are durable and long-lasting. They are semi-permanent, and can therefore only be removed by your dentist.
Implant Dentistry
If you are looking for a way to restore missing teeth that comes very close in look and feel to a natural tooth, you may want to consider implant dentistry. Dental implants from Northern Virginia dentist Joseph Bolil, DDS, mimic the structure of natural teeth, thereby providing unparalleled strength, durability, and beauty.
Dental implants consist of two basic parts: A titanium post that is anchored into your jaw just like a normal tooth would be, and a realistic porcelain crown that attaches to the post. Gums and bone grow in around an implant so that after healing, dental implants look almost identical to a natural tooth. With implant dentistry, you'll finally be able to eat your favorite foods again, and that will be something to smile about!
