Restorative Dentistry in Durham, NC
At TriPoint Dental, we understand that damaged or missing teeth can affect your oral health and self-confidence. Our experienced team offers comprehensive restorative dental services designed to repair and replace teeth with natural-looking, functional results. We combine advanced technology with personalized care to help patients throughout Durham, Chapel Hill, and Raleigh regain healthy, beautiful smiles.
What is Restorative Dentistry?
Our dentist in Durham, NC, focuses on repairing or replacing damaged or missing teeth to restore proper oral function, health, and appearance. These treatments address problems like tooth decay, fractures, infections, and tooth loss to help maintain proper chewing ability, clear speech, and facial structure support.
Unlike cosmetic dentistry, which primarily focuses on aesthetics, restorative procedures prioritize functionality while still delivering natural-looking results. TriPoint Dental uses high-quality ceramic materials and cutting-edge technology to ensure restorations that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth while providing long-lasting durability.
Our Restorative Dental Treatments
At TriPoint Dental, we offer a range of restorative treatments to address various dental concerns from minor damage to complete tooth loss. Our solutions include:
Crown and Bridge Treatment
We specialize in creating custom ceramic crowns to strengthen damaged teeth and bridges to replace one or more missing teeth. Our high-quality restorations are crafted in a professional dental laboratory for optimal fit, function, and appearance that matches your natural teeth.
Dental Implants
Our Durham dentist provides traditional dental implants, which permanently replace missing teeth by securing titanium posts into the jaw bone that support natural-looking ceramic crowns. With specialized training from the Durham Triangle Dental Institute and ongoing education in implantology, we can help restore your smile with this modern tooth replacement option.
Root Canal Therapy
For teeth affected by severe infection or damage to the inner pulp, we offer root canal therapy for anterior teeth to eliminate infection and preserve your natural tooth structure. This treatment helps you maintain your natural smile and avoid the need for extraction.
Extractions
When a tooth cannot be saved, we provide gentle surgical extraction services, utilizing advanced training from the Koerner Institute to ensure the procedure is as comfortable as possible.
Why Replace Missing Teeth?
Missing teeth affect more than just your smile's appearance—they can lead to serious oral health complications. When teeth are missing, remaining teeth often shift out of position, changing your bite alignment and potentially causing jaw pain, headaches, and excessive wear on other teeth.
The jaw bone beneath missing teeth begins to deteriorate without the stimulation provided by natural tooth roots, which can lead to a sunken facial appearance and make future tooth replacement more challenging. By choosing restorative treatments like bridges or implants at TriPoint Dental, you can preserve your facial structure, maintain proper chewing function, and prevent these complications.
