It happens to us all at some point—we develop a cavity or a toothache, we chip a tooth, or we end up with one or more teeth we need to replace. In other words, no one is immune to dental damage. That’s why our dedicated dentist, Dr. Tyler Schaffeld, is committed to giving patients in and around Enterprise the best restorative care. You can learn more about the treatments we offer below, but don’t hesitate to get in touch with us if you’re ready to schedule an appointment!
Previously, addressing dental damage – like a small cavity or a significant crack – meant having a metal restoration moving forward. That’s no longer the case! Our dental crowns are crafted from the best dental materials and color-matched to your surrounding teeth, ensuring no unwanted attention is drawn to your smile. The entire treatment process usually can be completed in just two visits too, which means you’ll have a healthy, happy smile again in no time.
Are you missing several teeth throughout your mouth? Maybe you’re missing an entire arch or all of your teeth. Whatever the case may be, don’t wait – dentures may be the solution you’ve been looking for. This tried-and-true tooth-replacement solution has benefited greatly from modern techniques and technology, resulting in it looking and feeling more lifelike than ever before. Plus, it’s one of the most cost-effective options upfront and many dental insurance providers cover a portion of the cost!
Dental bridges are ideal for patients who are missing one tooth or up to four teeth consecutively. If we determine that this is the best tooth-replacement solution for you, we will create custom prosthetic teeth and anchor them in place with two dental crowns, which are placed on either side of the gap. Dental implants can also be used to secure the restoration in place, ensuring that your healthy enamel isn’t altered in the process of filling the space in your smile.
As technology has advanced, so has the field of dentistry. One of the biggest outcomes? Dental implants. This state-of-the-art tooth-replacement solution revolutionized the field because it stimulates the jawbone to prevent bone loss, it has an impressive success rate of over 95%, and it can last for 30 years or more with proper care. Plus, they can replace one tooth, an entire arch of teeth, and everything in between, so they are quite versatile as well!
To this day, root canals are one of the most feared procedures. In reality, it’s actually good news; it means we can save the tooth. If you need a root canal, but you’re a bit nervous, don’t worry – we will numb your mouth thoroughly beforehand and provide you with helpful aftercare instructions to ensure discomfort, sensitivity, and soreness are kept at bay.
