Restorative Dentistry

Dental crowns are covers, or caps, that go over a single tooth. They are used to restore the shape, size and function of a tooth that has too much decay to be fixed with a dental filling. Dental bridges are meant to fill in a gap between teeth caused by a missing tooth. Here, two or more dental crowns are used to fill in the gap, which is held in place by adjacent teeth.

Unlike removable devices such as dentures, crowns and bridges are placed over your real teeth and are not removed.

Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth. Complete dentures have a complete set of false teeth attached, whereas partials are used when some natural teeth remain.

Our Reno dentistry offers full upper, lower, and partial dentures that will help beautify your smile and give you back your confidence!

Tooth extractions are a common dental procedure performed to remove a tooth from its socket in the bone. Extractions may be necessary for various reasons, including severe tooth decay, infection, crowding, or trauma. Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are often extracted because they can cause pain, infection, or alignment issues. The procedure is typically straightforward and can be performed under local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the extraction and the patient’s comfort level. After the extraction, patients are given specific aftercare instructions to promote healing and minimize discomfort.

While the idea of tooth extraction can be daunting, modern dental techniques and anesthesia options ensure that the procedure is as painless and stress-free as possible.
