Columbus Dental Fillings

Restorative Dentistry

Dental Fillings

Cavities are one of the most common oral diseases, so it's imperative we tackle them as soon as they begin to compromise the health and wellness of your teeth. When left untreated, they can cause serious discomfort and may require more invasive procedures to alleviate. Thanks to dental fillings, your dentist can halt the progression of tooth decay in a single visit. By coming in for your regular 6 month cleaning and exam you can help prevent new cavities from forming.

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns can help revive your smile if you are struggling with cracked or broken teeth. These tooth-shaped caps serve as a protective layer for the natural root of your tooth while enhancing your bite's functionality. If you have had a root canal, a crown will protect and improve the health of the tooth. With the option to choose from a range of materials, crowns are suitable for both restorative and cosmetic purposes, allowing you to smile with ease and confidence.

Root Canals in Columbus | RIVERGLEN DENTAL

Restorative Dentistry

Root Canals

Toothaches can be a sign of a serious infection and cause significant discomfort. Fortunately, root canal therapy offers a solution to provide the relief you need and restore the health of your tooth. During a root canal procedure, the infected pulp of the tooth is removed, and the area is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. Once the tooth has been properly treated, it can be restored with a filling or a dental crown to help maintain its structure. Not only can root canal therapy alleviate the pain caused by the infection, but it can also prevent the need for a tooth extraction. Saving your natural tooth can often help to avoid more costly dental procedures in the future.

Columbus Tooth Extractions

Restorative Dentistry

Tooth Extractions

Tooth extractions are always our last option — we are in the business of saving teeth whenever we can! However, a problematic tooth is sometimes unable to be restored. Your doctor may recommend an extraction as the best way to get your oral health back on the right path. With gentle techniques, and local anesthesia or sedation, decaying teeth can be removed to alleviate your discomfort or to make room for dental implants, a bridge, or another type of tooth replacement.

Restorative Dentistry

Implant Crowns

After your dental implant has been placed and is healed, you will be ready for your dentist to fabricate your implant crown. They will ensure the size and color of your implant crown matches with the rest of your other teeth, so you can have a seamless new smile.

Dental Bridges in Columbus | Riverglen Dental

Restorative Dentistry

Dental Bridges

There's no need to keep covering up your mouth if a missing tooth is leaving a gap in your smile. The space created by missing one or more teeth can often be corrected with a dental bridge. A bridge is permanently cemented like a single crown. The teeth on either side of the space are prepared for crowns and serve as the retention for the bridge. The space is filled with teeth that are attached to these crowns. Bridges can be beautiful and highly esthetic just like crowns or veneers. They will be matched to blend in with the shade and shape of your other existing teeth. Schedule a consultation today to see if a dental bridge can help you complete your smile!
