Reconstructive Dentistry

Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps that fit over your entire tooth in order to make your teeth strong and healthy again while restoring their oral function and appearance. They are custom-made to your teeth’s anatomy to ensure a precise fit that is long-lasting. This reconstructive dentistry option is designed to repair teeth that have weakened due to chips or cracks, repair severe decay that cannot be fixed with a filling, or to protect the tooth after a root canal. They may also be used to support missing teeth replacement solutions such as dental bridges and implants. We use high-quality materials, such as porcelain, in order to make sure your dental crown blends in with your natural teeth to create a uniform appearance.

If you have gaps in your mouth from missing teeth, dental bridges may be a great reconstructive dentistry option for you! These appliances replace missing teeth and are made of crowns that fit over your natural teeth and artificial teeth known as pontics that fill the spaces between the crowns. Together, they work to improve your ability to eat normally, speak clearly, enhance your oral health and create a more beautiful, healthy smile. Treating toss loss isn’t just about aesthetics—it also reduces the risk of developing more serious complications such as bone loss, teeth shifting and impacting your overall health. Lansdowne Dentistry by Design is happy to offer dental bridges as a safe, effective treatment option to replace missing teeth.

Another method for replacing missing teeth, dental implants are tiny screws that are surgically placed in the jawbone that act as the tooth’s roots. Dr. Khalil is highly skilled at performing this reconstructive dentistry procedure and will discuss with you in great detail what is involved and if you are a good candidate for dental implants. We value open and honest communication and want our patients to feel confident in your oral health decisions. That’s why we explain every treatment, including dental implants, thoroughly so you have a full understanding of your options. Dental implants do require multiple appointments, including a lengthy healing period, but when properly cared for, they can last a lifetime!

Dentures may be what comes to mind when you think of fake teeth. They are removable oral appliances that give the appearance of a full smile. Lansdowne Dentistry by Design is proud to offer patients custom-made dentures for a perfect, comfortable fit. Whether you are in need of full or partial dentures, we take the time to learn your goals and develop a treatment plan that works for you and your lifestyle. The process of receiving your personalized dentures is simple. We will perform an exam, take X-rays and digital impressions and then place your dentures once they arrive at our office from our trusted lab partners.

If you need tooth extractions, you may have an unsettling feeling about going out in public with gaps in your smile. At Lansdowne Dentistry by Design, we offer same-day dentures, also called same-day dentures, immediately after the removal of your natural teeth so you don’t have to leave our office without a full smile! Same-day dentures offer a temporary solution to give patients the confidence to enjoy life right after a tooth extraction. Since your gums also need to heal following an extraction, it is a great solution while you wait for your permanent dentures to come in. Additionally, it helps you get adjusted to wearing dentures until your custom ones arrive.

We may recommend a root canal if one of our dentists determine that your tooth is infected from deep decay or damage and if it is the best option for saving the tooth from being removed entirely. The good news is that modern day techniques have made this reconstructive dentistry procedure nearly painless, with dentists and endodontists performing nearly 15 million of them every year! There are many telltale signs that you may benefit from a root canal including persistent tooth pain, swollen gums and jaw, discolored tooth or even a loose tooth. You can rest assured that our team will perform a thorough evaluation including tests, X-rays and an exam to confirm your diagnosis and treatment.
