Restorative Dentistry Services
Chipped, cracked, and broken teeth can not only affect your overall self-confidence, but can affect your oral health. In addition to taking away from your smile, these dental issues can lead to sensitivity, chewing discomfort, cavities, and infections.
At Plaza Dental Center, Dr. Cutrona provides a range of advanced dentistry techniques to restore your smile and alleviate any oral health issues. Our Saint Louis patients are able to choose from bonding, gum recontouring, crowns, caps, bridges, dentures, and fillings. Call (314) 361-1818 today to schedule a consultation to learn which restorative dental procedures best suit your needs.
Gum Recontouring
When a person’s gums extend too far onto the tooth surface, he or she is said to have a “gummy” smile. In just one painless office visit, Dr. Cutrona can use a diode laser to gently sculpt the gum line into a more pleasing proportion, making teeth appear larger and the smile more brilliant.
Dental Crowns
When a tooth has been damaged by a large cavity or fracture, more protection may be required than a filling can provide. To restore functionality and appearance, and to seal the tooth from further damage, a dental crown will then be placed over the entire tooth surface.
Dental Bridges
If a patient is missing one or more teeth but is not necessarily a good candidate for dentures or dental implants, he or she may be fitted with a dental bridge. A bridge is an artificial tooth that is held in place by a dental crown on either side of the gap created by the missing tooth.
Dentures
At Plaza Dental Center, we offer both full and partial dentures to our patients in the Saint Louis area. Unlike dental bridges or dental implants, dentures are removable replacement teeth. Dr. Cutrona uses the most modern materials and methods to create our patients’ dentures, so they can always be assured of a comfortable fit and the most realistic appearance.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
White fillings are virtually undetectable which makes your smile healthy and beautiful at the same time.
