Having your full smile restored will make a speech, chewing, and swallowing easy again. Here at Millennium Family Dental, we can save your smile, while making it stronger and more aesthetically pleasing.

Our most common restorative dentistry services include dental bridges, dental crowns, dental implants, and dentures.

Dental Bridges & Crowns

Dental bridges are restorations that can replace one or more missing teeth. They consist of two dental crowns that are placed over natural teeth on either side of a gap and a pontic, which is the replacement tooth or teeth that will fill in the gap. Dental bridges will prevent the remaining teeth from shifting out of place and becoming crooked.

Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps that are placed over the visible portion of a tooth above the gumline. When a tooth is cracked, broken, decayed, worn down, or misshapen, crowns can be the solution to make the tooth look and function better.

Dental Implants

When you lose a tooth, you have a noticeable “hole” in your smile. Dental implants are now one of the most popular methods to restore a smile.

Dental implants are a permanent solution to a missing tooth. They involve the insertion of a titanium post into the jaw bone. Once the jawbone heals, your dentist places an abutment on the gums and attaches a porcelain crown.

A dental implant looks and functions like a traditional tooth with a 98% success rate. To ensure success, you’ll need to hire an experienced Meridian dentist. Dental implant procedures can also help if you have many missing teeth. They are also are beneficial to your oral health because they strengthen the jaw bone, preventing the bone from deteriorating.
