Another major reason patients trust local experts is the wide variety of treatments available. You do not need to drive all over South Florida to get different procedures done. Instead, a full-service clinic can handle multiple needs in one convenient location.
Direct Restorations
For minor damage, dentists use direct restorations. This usually involves placing a tooth-colored composite filling directly into a cleaned cavity. The material hardens quickly under a special light, allowing you to chew normally almost right away.
Indirect Restorations
If you have more severe structural damage, you might need an indirect restoration. These are custom-made outside of your mouth in a laboratory. Examples include:
- Crowns: Custom caps that completely cover a damaged tooth to restore its strength.
- Bridges: Realistic artificial teeth that anchor to your natural teeth to fill an empty gap.
- Implants: Permanent titanium posts that act as tooth roots to support a lifelong crown.
