Crowns
The most common crown restoration placed today utilizes a metal lining covered with porcelain. These types of restorations are not as natural in appearance because light is not able to pass through porcelain-metal crowns as it does with a natural tooth. The result is an opaque or flat-looking tooth. Often, these types of traditional crowns leave a dark or gray line next to the gumline. Our talented team is proud to offer a natural looking alternative: all-ceramic, non-metal crowns! With these newer restorations you will notice the "life-like" appearance that mimics natural teeth and does not produce the black gumline so common with porcelain-metal crowns.
Bridges
Missing teeth can cause a variety of problems, from low self-esteem and embarrassment to physical ailments, including gum disease, bite problems, bone loss, speech difficulties and painful chewing. A dental bridge can not only restore your smile to its natural appearance, but it can also return it to comfort and function. A bridge is a custom-fit false tooth (or teeth) that is permanently placed between two healthy teeth and is held in place by porcelain crowns.
Bonding
So you want to enhance your smile, but you have concerns about procedures and cost. Cosmetic bonding is the perfect solution! Affordable and conservative, bonding can be used for a variety of enhancements, including whitening stain-resistant teeth (including tetracycline stains), repairing chips and closing gaps between teeth. The procedure is simple: a composite material is placed on the tooth, then shaped to the desired result. Finally, the material is hardened and polished, creating a natural appearance.
Teeth Whitening
If you are unhappy with the dull, yellowish shade of your teeth, consider teeth whitening as the perfect solution! Teeth whitening is safe, effective, and an efficient way to dramatically improve your overall appearance. Dr. Badger can help you choose the most effective and convenient method of whitening for you. We offer in-office whitening as well as take-home kits. These processes can actually make your natural tooth color between seven and twelve shades brighter than it is right now! You too can have the bright, white Hollywood smile that you've always dreamed about!
Inlays and Onlays
Metal fillings are not the healthiest solution, often expanding and contracting with temperature changes. This can cause cracking or allow bacteria to affect further decay. Onlays and Inlays make it possible to replace unsightly silver fillings with beautiful and healthy tooth-colored restorations. We’ll design them to match your teeth, reviving your natural strength, wear, and function. With new materials such as pure porcelain, it really is finally possible to beautifully repair and restore your smile.
If you need repairs made in your smile but worry about mercury amalgam fillings, we have the answer for you. Porcelain Inlays and Onlays are a natural-looking alternative to amalgam fillings. Beautiful and durable, they are formed to fit and fill most types of cavities and are almost impossible to distinguish from natural teeth. If your old metal fillings are making your smile unattractive and dark, we can easily replace them with attractive porcelain alternatives.
Dentures
If you have lost all of your natural teeth, dentures can replace your missing teeth and smile. Tooth loss can come from periodontal disease, tooth decay, or injury, but with dentures, you can benefit your appearance and health, and can continue to function as a healthy, active adult. Dr. Badger can help you make an informed decision about whether dentures are ideal for you.
