Cosmetic & Restorative Dentistry Services

Cosmetic & Restorative Dentistry

Restorative procedures in dentistry are a great option for those who have missing, decayed, broken, chipped, unattractive, or damaged teeth. They also are known to improve your oral health and create a supportive dental environment so you can maintain your smile for years to come. As your Rochester Hills Cosmetic Dentistry expert, Paige McClelland can help you obtain the results you are looking for in your smile.

Book Your Visit

Cosmetic and restorative methods include dental implants, veneers, inlays, Onlays, crowns, porcelain laminates, bridges, and more. Some procedures may be a minor adjustment to just one tooth or a full mouth reconstruction giving the patient a whole new set of teeth. To be a candidate for this kind of dentistry, you will want to consult with Dr. Paige McClelland about your gum health and bite. You may need pre-procedures done to get you ready for a successful cosmetic treatment.

You may be a candidate for either cosmetic or restorative dentistry if you have any of the following issues:

  • Chipped, broken, injured teeth
  • Missing teeth
  • Damaged teeth from age or grinding
  • Bite issues that cause headaches, soreness, and pain

Common Cosmetic Procedures

Dental Implants

Implants are a wonderful cosmetic procedure that can really make your mouth and smile feel new. Dental implants are a restorative method of replacing missing, broken, chipped, or damaged teeth. They work through the placement of a titanium prosthetic root that replaces your former natural tooth root. The new root will bond and adjust to the gum tissue. Once ready, an abutment will be placed on top of the root and connected to a crown (your new fake tooth). This new tooth will function just like a natural tooth.

Bridges

A dental bridge is a treatment that literally “bridges” the area left by missing teeth and replaces them. A bridge basically consists of two crowns with a complete, prosthetic tooth attached between them. The crowns are placed over the teeth surrounding the empty space so that the prosthetic tooth fills the space left by the missing tooth.

Crowns

Crowns and bridges can be made to match your teeth perfectly. A crown fits securely over a damaged tooth, covering it on all sides to strengthen the natural tooth and improve its appearance. In some cases, your natural teeth will also be adjusted to match the crowns.

Inlays/Onlays/Veneers

Inlays and Onlays and veneers are thin layers of tooth-like structure that improve a tooth’s appearance. Veneers are similar to inlays/onlays. Both procedures place thin layers of resin over the front or the top of teeth to give a full and clean cosmetic effect that requires no downtime and can really improve your smile.

Full Restoration

Any of the above procedures can be used in a full-mouth restoration makeover. If you feel your whole mouth needs a full overhaul, and you need extensive repair, then a full restorative plan maybe your best option. A plan will be developed by your dental professional to help you get the smile you desire.

Most dental procedures involved in a full mouth reconstruction/restoration may require one or more of the following treatments:

A partial type of makeover would include a few adjustments or treatments on a smaller scale to tweak your smile and make it perfect.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will insurance cover procedures involving cosmetic and restorative dentistry?

Given the many factors associated with restoration and cosmetic dentistry, the balance between insurance coverage and out-of-pocket expenses will vary. However, we may work with you to put together a treatment plan that fits your needs and works within your budget. We also submit claims to all dental insurance plans for our patients. Financing options are available, as well.

How long will results from cosmetic or restorative procedures last?

The answer depends on what you have done. Teeth whitening, for instance, will need to be done again when results start to fade. Dental implants, on the other hand, can last indefinitely. The longevity of dental bridges, inlays, overlays, veneers, and crowns will vary based on your diet, oral hygiene habits, and similar factors.

How long does it take to complete cosmetic or restorative procedures?

For some treatments for cosmetic dentistry in St. Clair Shores, MI, pre-procedures may need to be done before the procedure is done. Other times, however, the treatment may be completed in a single visit. With a full restoration, the entire process may take a year or more since multiple procedures are involved.

What can be expected with cosmetic or restorative dentistry?

Every situation is different. Therefore, what you can expect with cosmetic or restorative dentistry in St. Clair Shores, MI, from us is a personalized experience and a treatment plan specific to your needs, preferences, and goals.
