In this way, oral health is preserved, and optimum health is attained.

Restorative Services offered at The Grove Family Dentistry
Composite Fillings
A type of restorative material made from composite resin to resemble the color of the natural tooth. Composite fillings are used to repair chipped or cracked tooth and cavities. Though it is mainly designed for restoration purposes, it also has cosmetic properties which help in restoring the natural beauty of one’s smile.
Cracked Tooth Repair
Although teeth enamel is the hardest substance in the mouth, there are instances that it might get cracked. But whatever the cause is, cracked teeth need immediate treatment to prevent further damage and avoid infection.
Dental Bridges
There are times that it may be too late to save your teeth, and missing teeth can affect a person’s facial aesthetics as well as reduce their confidence which can lead to poor social relations. The Grove Family Dentistry offers Dental bridges to close the gaps between teeth by using a dental prosthesis that is consist of dental crowns and pontics (fake teeth) to serve as the replacement of the missing teeth.
Crowns
Dental crowns are restorative materials placed over the teeth to repair damage, to restore teeth structure and to provide an added protection. Dental Crowns are made durable to resist strong chewing forces on the teeth as it restores its function.
Dental Implants
Implants are composed of titanium posts which are systematically placed on the jawbone and act as artificial tooth roots, where artificial teeth such as dental crowns, bridges, and dentures are attached. Dental implants are ideal for replacing missing teeth to prevent the surrounding structures from shifting, preserve more tooth structure, and preserve bone and facial structure.
Root Canal
If the tooth has a severely damaged pulp, root canal treatment is needed to preserve the structure instead of opting to extraction. It is a process that involves deep cleaning and removal of the damaged pulp, filling, and sealing the teeth. Root canal treatment is an excellent choice when it comes to saving severely damaged teeth.
Full and Partial Removable Dentures
Missing teeth can be devastating and can be the cause of embarrassment and self-consciousness. Full and Partial dentures are restorative materials used to replace either single or multiple missing teeth that are removable. Full dentures are commonly used when the entire teeth are missing in either upper or lower jaw while partial Dentures are used if there are few missing teeth.
