Bonding

Bonding

Unfortunately, it’s fairly easy to chip a tooth.  You could slip and fall, bite a tough piece of food, or even clink your tooth against a coffee mug, and in an instant you’ve noticeably damaged the structure of your smile.  Tooth chips can also occur as a result of night grinding and enamel weakening due to decay.  Thankfully, the solution to chipped or moderately damaged tooth is affordable, easy to place and provides a beautiful result. That solution is bonding.

Bonding allows us to correct small structure issues that concern individual teeth, including chips, fractures, cracks, and even gaps created by teeth that are too narrow or short.  Bonding is very efficient, versatile and provides an aesthetically pleasing result. If you’re ready to fix that chipped tooth or makeover a minor tooth flaw, contact us to learn how our bonding services can help.

Dental Bridges

Bridges

Here at Orland Dental Wellness Center we offer our patients a number of solutions to the problem of missing or damaged teeth.  When you need a full tooth replacement, or if you need to replace multiple teeth in a highly visible portion of the mouth, the bridges we provide are an affordable, functional and aesthetic and choice.

Aptly named, bridges work by bridging the gap created by one or more lost teeth. They are permanent dental restoratives that do not have any external framework like partial dentures.  That’s because bridges use adjacent teeth to serve as a means of support.  The supporting teeth are modified slightly to fit below two crowns, which are attached to the bridge and create a full tooth prosthetic.  We can plan and place your bridge over the course of two to three visits, leaving you with a newly revitalized and beautiful smile.

Bridges can be an alternative to dental implants and partial dentures, which we also proudly offer. To determine which of these options will be best for you, simply give us a call at 708-460-6666.    

White Fillings

White Fillings

While metal amalgam fillings were once the norm for fixing cavities and the effects of tooth decay, dental offices like ours now offer a better solution. White fillings are comprised of specialized dental resin rather than metal.  As a result they look more natural on the surface of the tooth, they don’t expand or contact with temperature changes, and they don’t cause tooth sensitivity that can occur after filling a tooth with metal amalgam.

White fillings are also an excellent way to update old amalgam fillings that are creating sensitivity issues or compromising the aesthetic appearance of your smile.  To learn more about the process of placing white fillings and to find out if they’re right for you, give us a call at 708-460-6666.
