At Augusta Family Dentistry, we believe restorative dentistry allows us to bring your mouth - and your smile - to a restored, healthy one.  We must first element any pain then begin the restoration process and finally protect your restored smile.

Restorative dentistry includes:

• Crowns and bridges
• Dental implants
• Implant restoration
• Full mouth restoration

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped "cap" that is placed over a tooth - covering the tooth to restore its shape and size, strength, and/or to improve its appearance.

The crowns, when cemented into place, fully encase the entire visible portion of a tooth that lies at and above the gum line.

A dental bridge essentially bridges the gap created by one or more missing teeth.  A bridge is made of two crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap.  Dental bridges are supported by natural teeth or implants.

Dental bonding is a procedure in which a tooth-colored resin material is applied and hardened with a special light,  which ultimately "bonds" the material to the tooth to restore or improve person's smile.  Dental bonding is an option to be considered in order to:

• repair decayed teeth
• improve the appearance of discolored teeth
• repair chipped or cracked teeth
• close spaces between teeth
• make teeth look longer
• change the shape of the teeth
