Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing or
replacing damaged teeth, restoring their
health, function, and appearance. It
addresses issues like decay, trauma, or
wear, aiming to bring teeth back to their
natural state or improve upon it. Common
restorative procedures include fillings,
crowns, bridges, implants, and dentures.
What qualifies for a dental emergency?
What is considered a dental emergency?
Severe toothache.
Badly cracked tooth.
Knocked-out tooth.
Extruded (partially dislodged) tooth.
Dental abscess (swelling of your face and jaw).
Lost or broken dental restoration.
Severe soft tissue injury (like a busted lip or deep
cut).
Tooth extraction is a dental
procedure that involves removing a
tooth from its socket in the
jawbone. It is a surgical procedure
that may be necessary for various
reasons, including:
Impacted teeth: Teeth that are
unable to erupt properly due to
lack of space or other obstacles.
Dental decay: Severe decay that
has damaged the tooth beyond
repair.
Gum disease: Infection of the gums
that has weakened the tooth's
support.
Dental sealants are thin, plastic
coatings applied to the chewing
surfaces of back teeth to
prevent cavities. They act as a
barrier, protecting the teeth
from bacteria and food particles
that can cause decay. Sealants
are a quick, painless, and cost-
effective way to protect teeth,
particularly in children and
teenagers, though adults can
also benefit.
Periodontics is a branch of
dentistry that focuses on the
diagnosis, prevention, and
treatment of diseases affecting
the gums and supporting
structures of the teeth, known
as the periodontium
A root canal is a dental procedure
used to treat infection or damage in
the tooth's pulp, the soft tissue inside
the tooth containing nerves and blood
vessels. It involves removing the
infected or damaged pulp, cleaning
and disinfecting the inside of the
tooth, and then filling it with a bio-
compatible material. A crown is often
placed on the tooth to restore its
strength and function.
Partial dentures are removable
dental appliances that replace one
or more missing teeth in either the
upper or lower jaw. They are
designed to fill the gaps left by
missing teeth, restoring both the
appearance and functionality of
your smile. Partial dentures
typically consist of replacement
teeth attached to a gum-colored
acrylic base, which may include a
metal or plastic framework for
support and retention.
A dental cleaning is a
professional procedure
that involves removing
plaque and tartar from
the teeth and gums. It is
an essential part of
maintaining oral health
and preventing gum
disease and cavities.
Cosmetic dentistry refers to a branch of dentistry
that focuses on improving the appearance of teeth
and smile. It encompasses a range of procedures
aimed at enhancing the aesthetics of the oral
cavity, without necessarily addressing underlying
dental health issues.
Cosmetic dentistry procedures may include:
Teeth whitening, Dental veneers, Orthodontics
(braces), Dental implants, Bonding, and Crown
placement.
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic
dental procedure that lightens the
color of teeth, making them
appear brighter and whiter. It
works by using bleaching agents,
typically hydrogen peroxide or
carbamide peroxide, to break
down stain molecules on the
tooth surface. While it can't make
teeth perfectly white, it can
lighten the existing color by
several shades.
Dental bonding is a cosmetic
dental procedure that uses a
tooth-colored resin to repair or
enhance the appearance of
teeth. It's a versatile technique
that can fix chipped, cracked,
discolored, or misshapen teeth,
close gaps, and even protect
exposed tooth roots. The
process involves applying,
shaping, and hardening the resin
with a special light, resulting in a
natural-looking restoration.
A dental crown, also known as a tooth
cap, is a restorative covering that
encases a damaged tooth, restoring its
shape, size, strength, and appearance.
Crowns are custom-made to fit
precisely and can be crafted from
various materials like porcelain,
porcelain-fused-to-metal, or gold.
They are used to protect weakened or
cracked teeth, improve the appearance
of discolored or misshapen teeth, or
anchor dental bridges.
Dentists apply fluoride to teeth to
strengthen them and prevent tooth decay.
This can be done in the form of a varnish,
gel, or foam, often during routine dental
check-ups. Fluoride helps protect teeth
by strengthening enamel and inhibiting
the growth of bacteria that cause cavities.

Ariana is the newest member to our dental family and we don’t know
how we survived without her ! She has such a genuine inquisitive, caring
heart, and our patients already adore her ! Anana is the only girl in her family,
which is also why she’s spoiled rotten. When one isn’t assisting Dr. Thorup ,
you will find her at the local fishing pond with her pit bull “Kyra”, her trusted
fishing buddy, or at home binge watching her favorite TV shows with cuddly
fur baby Archie. Amanda is fascinated by Dr David’s precision and passion for his
dental work
