Having missing teeth can make it difficult to be confident in your smile.

Read our guide to learn more about our restorative services and why Dr. Grubb is considered among the best in Havre de Grace Heights, Bayview Estates, and Osborne, MD.

What Is Restorative Dentistry?

Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing and replacing teeth that are either missing or severely damaged. This can include broken, chipped, cracked, and decayed teeth that can put the health of your smile at risk. Our restorative treatments allow Dr. Grubb to improve your teeth while also enhancing the look of your smile to avoid issues including misalignment.

Our Restorative Services

Dental Crowns

A dental crown is a porcelain cap designed to look and function just like your natural teeth. These restorations are often used to cover a broken, damaged, or decayed tooth, drastically improving its shape and appearance. Once Dr. Grubb carefully inserts your fixture, it’ll fully cover your tooth from above the gum line to improve your oral health.

Dental Bridges

A dental bridge is a set of porcelain crowns and false teeth called pontics that replace adjacent missing teeth. These restorations have been used for thousands of years due to their multitude of benefits. The pontics are attached to the middle of these crowns, which are secured to your teeth for support. Your bridge will be custom-made to blend with your natural smile.

Dental Implants

Dentists everywhere consider dental implants to be the gold standard of restorative dentistry since they’re designed to permanently replace missing teeth. They’re inserted into your jawbone to mimic your natural teeth from root to crown. After fully fusing with your jaw, these fixtures are topped with a beautiful dental crown to restore both the look and feel of your smile.

Cosmetic Dentures

Unlike generic dentures, cosmetic dentures are designed with attractiveness in mind. These restorations are custom-designed to take into account the unique shape of your oral cavity and the natural look of your teeth. That way, your dentures will blend seamlessly with the rest of your smile while being overall less prone to slipping or shifting out of place.

Implant-Supported Dentures

Dr. Grubb can provide you with implant-supported dentures to permanently replace entire arches of missing teeth. This restoration uses four strategically placed dental implants in order to reinforce itself into your oral cavity. Best of all, you can treat these types of dentures just like your natural teeth since they never have to be removed or cleaned in a solution.

How long do restorative procedures last?

The exact length of time for your restorative procedure depends on multiple factors including what type of treatment you’re receiving and the severity of the dental issue. Small restorations like bridges and crowns can be completed in just a couple of appointments, while dental implants can take months. During your consultation, your dentist will provide you with an accurate treatment time.

Will a restorative procedure boost my teeth’s appearance?

Restorative dentistry can fix any number of dental issues while also enhancing your smile’s appearance in the process. Most dentists will recommend a restorative procedure to enhance a natural tooth that’s been cracked or otherwise damaged. Your dentist will evaluate your oral health to develop a treatment plan that’ll best improve your smile.

How can my dentist help me if I struggle with dental anxiety?

Dentists are equipped to address your dental anxiety by providing various sedation options. Most practices design their office with comfort and relaxation in mind, coupled with a welcoming team of staff. If you’re going to be undergoing a more involved restorative procedure, talk to your dentist about how they can help you feel relaxed during your dental experience.

Does dental insurance cover restorative dentistry?

Most dental insurance companies will either fully or partially cover the cost of your dental procedure if it’s considered medically necessary. Your dentist will recommend that you contact your provider to get an accurate understanding of your policy and benefits. It’s also a good idea to ask your dentist’s office if they offer any financing options to help with out-of-pocket costs.
