Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are one of the most common and versatile restorative services recommended to patients, and for good reason. They’re designed to cover a single tooth, replicating its natural shape and appearance while protecting the remaining natural structure underneath. Dental crowns can be used to correct the following issues:

  • Severe tooth decay
  • Chips/fractures
  • Weakened tooth structure that needs protection
  • Significant cosmetic imperfections
  • Restoring a tooth that’s been treated with root canal therapy
  • Restoring a lost tooth that’s been replaced with a dental implant

Dental crowns are also an important component of dental bridges, which replace consecutive missing teeth sturdily and permanently. Unlike removable dentures, the bridge is anchored in place within the appropriate gap by placing new crowns over adjacent healthy teeth. This will help patients maintain their oral function and prevent other teeth from gradually shifting out of place.

Tooth-Colored Fillings

Nearly 92% of adults have experienced one or more cavities over the course of their lives, and a quarter of them currently suffer from decay that still needs to be treated. Today, patients don’t have to worry about receiving silver fillings that mar an otherwise beautiful smile. Dr. Barnett places tooth-colored fillings that are crafted from shaded composite resin in order to preserve your confident appearance. These fillings are also very comfortable (no more metallic sensitivity to temperature changes) and conservative, which means we can keep more of your tooth’s natural healthy structure intact and create stronger, longer-lasting results.

Root Canal Therapy

Root canal therapy may have a scary reputation, but it’s actually a very safe and highly successful restorative procedure that can return health to badly damaged and/or infected teeth, saving them from the threat of extraction. For this procedure, Dr. Barnett will refer you to a specialist. They'll carefully access the inner chamber of the tooth in order to remove diseased pulp and clean the area. A customized crown will cover the treated tooth, rebuilding its natural shape and renewing its strength. With the help of sedation dentistry and modern anesthetic, patients remain fully comfortable throughout the process.

Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Wisdom teeth are the last adult teeth to develop and sometimes they remain impacted in the gums while other times they emerge through the gums. Not all people even have wisdom teeth, but if they are present, these third molars usually appear between the ages of 16 and 22. Unfortunately, the lack of space left in the mouth to accommodate them can result in dangerous overcrowding, impaction, and higher risks of infection. Dr. Barnett will keep a close eye on developing wisdom teeth as patients age, and she may recommend extraction as a valuable preventive measure to protect patients and their smiles.
