Our primary specialty is replacing missing teeth. In addition to making your smile whole and healthy, we can help you enjoy steak, apples and corn on the cob again. Whether you are already missing teeth, about to lose a tooth , have a broken tooth or are in need of full mouth reconstruction (due to accident or illness), Dr. Agarwal can help. Your options include implants, high-quality full or partial dentures and precision crafted porcelain crowns and bridges to make your smile new again.
The removal of dead or diseased nerve tissue from the center of a tooth, intended to avoid a toothache or premature loss of a functioning tooth.
Most patients refer to restorations as “fillings” because material is used to “fill” a hole or broken spot in the tooth. Modern dental materials now allow dentists to remove minimal tooth structure and attach tooth-colored materials in a process that involves etching, to roughen the spot, and bonding to create adhesion. Patients prefer restorations that cannot be seen, but traditional silver fillings are also available. If too much tooth structure is missing, a tooth must receive a crown (cap), made out of metal, porcelain, or both, that is cemented in place for years of service. Crowns are also linked together to create a “bridge”, a restoration that closes a gap where teeth have been lost so patients can resume proper chewing.
It’s great news that the incidence of tooth decay has significantly diminished over the years due to the use of fluorides and an increase in patient awareness. However, teeth are still susceptible to decay, infection, and breakage and sometimes need to be restored back to health. Through improved techniques and modern technology, we are now able to offer more options for restoring a tooth back to its normal shape, appearance and function.
Should your teeth ever require a restorative treatment, you can rest assured knowing we will always discuss with you the available options, and recommend what we believe to be the most comfortable and least invasive treatment. Providing you with excellent care is our number one priority when creating your beautiful smile.
