At Generations Dental Care in Enfield, CT, we believe everyone deserves a healthy, functional, and beautiful smile. Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing and replacing damaged or missing teeth to help you regain optimal oral health and function. Whether you’re dealing with decay, injury, or wear, our experienced team, led by Dr. Cummiskey, uses advanced techniques and state-of-the-art technology to provide personalized solutions that restore the integrity of your smile. From fillings to crowns and dentures, we’re here to help you feel confident about your teeth once again.
The Role Of Restorative Dentistry In Overall Health
Restorative dentistry goes beyond aesthetics—restoring damaged or missing teeth plays a crucial role in maintaining your overall health. A healthy mouth supports proper chewing, digestion, and speech while preventing the shifting of teeth that can lead to misalignment. Neglecting to treat dental issues like cavities or missing teeth can increase your risk of gum disease, infection, and even bone loss. By addressing these issues with restorative care, you not only improve your smile but also safeguard your long-term health.
Mercury-Free Fillings
At Generations Dental Care, we offer mercury-free composite fillings to repair cavities and restore the natural appearance of your teeth. Unlike traditional silver amalgam fillings, composite fillings are tooth-colored, blending seamlessly with your smile. These fillings are not only aesthetically pleasing but also provide a safer, more durable solution for repairing decay. We believe in using materials that promote both oral health and overall well-being, which is why we prioritize biocompatible, mercury-free options in our restorative treatments.
Root Canal Therapy
When decay or infection reaches the inner pulp of a tooth, root canal therapy becomes necessary to save the tooth and prevent extraction. Despite its reputation, a root canal is a relatively painless and highly effective procedure that can eliminate pain and restore the function of a severely damaged tooth. During the procedure, Dr. Cummiskey carefully removes the infected tissue, cleans and seals the tooth, and places a restoration like a crown to protect it. With root canal therapy, you can keep your natural tooth while eliminating the discomfort of infection.
CEREC® Crowns
For patients who need a crown to restore a damaged or weakened tooth, Generations Dental Care offers CEREC technology, which allows us to create custom-made crowns in just one visit. CEREC (chairside economical restoration of esthetic ceramics) uses advanced digital imaging and 3D technology to design and fabricate your crown right in our office. This means no temporary crowns, no messy impressions, and no waiting for weeks. Our CEREC crowns are not only fast and convenient but also strong, durable, and beautifully crafted to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Extractions
While preserving your natural teeth is always our priority, there are times when an extraction becomes necessary to protect your overall oral health. Whether it’s due to severe decay, trauma, or overcrowding, we perform extractions with care and precision. Dr. Cummiskey and our team prioritize your comfort, using advanced techniques and sedation options to ensure a smooth and pain-free procedure. After an extraction, we’ll discuss options for replacing the missing tooth, such as bridges or implants, to restore both the appearance and function of your smile.
Bridges
A dental bridge is a great option for patients missing one or more teeth. Bridges consist of artificial teeth (pontics) that are anchored to the adjacent natural teeth, filling in the gap left by missing teeth. Not only does a bridge restore the appearance of your smile, but it also helps maintain proper alignment and prevents neighboring teeth from shifting. At Generations Dental Care, we create custom bridges that blend naturally with your surrounding teeth, giving you a complete and functional smile once again.
Dentures & Partials
For patients who have lost several or all of their teeth, dentures and partials offer a reliable solution for restoring both appearance and function. At Generations Dental Care, we provide customized full dentures and partials that fit comfortably and securely, allowing you to chew, speak, and smile with confidence. Our team works closely with you to design dentures that suit your individual needs, whether you need a full set of teeth replaced or just a few missing teeth restored with a partial denture.
The Key To Building Beautiful, Blendable Restorations
At Generations Dental Care, we believe that restorative dentistry should not only improve the function of your teeth but also enhance your smile’s appearance. That’s why we focus on creating restorations that are both durable and aesthetically pleasing. Whether you’re receiving a filling, crown, or bridge, we use high-quality, tooth-colored materials that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Our goal is to provide restorations that are so well-crafted that no one will even know you’ve had dental work done. With our personalized approach and attention to detail, we ensure that every restoration fits comfortably and looks beautiful.
