Restorative Dental Services in Vero Beach, FL

To create a permanent restoration, such as a bridge or crown, can be placed to restore a tooth, our team will use advanced technology to obtain a digital impression of your teeth and gums. The digital image will ensure that the new restoration fits appropriately in your mouth to restore your smile. 

Root canals are most often necessary when decay has reached the nerve of the tooth or the tooth has become infected. When root canal therapy is performed, the infected or inflamed pulp is removed, after which a dental crown or other restoration is placed to protect the tooth and restore normal tooth function.

BPA-free tooth-colored fillings use tooth-colored material to restore teeth with cavities and maintain a natural appearance. Once the decay is removed, the tooth is filled with a composite material which is then cured using a specialized light to harden the material. Composite fillings can be done in one visit.

CEREC stands for Chairside Economic Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, a modern technique that utilizes advanced technology that creates ceramic restorations such as crowns and bridges. This technology can provide patients with durable and attractive restorations in less time and without the need for temporary restorations. 

A crown is a dental restoration that completely covers the outside of a tooth that is cracked, broken, worn down, or severely decayed. Dental crowns are usually completed in two visits. During the first visit, the tooth is prepared (shaved down) and an impression is taken. A temporary crown is placed while the permanent crown is fabricated. During the second visit, the permanent crown is carefully fitted and then cemented into place.

A bridge can replace missing teeth without the use of a denture or dental implant. A bridge is composed of two crowns and a replacement tooth or teeth. Crowns are typically placed on the teeth on either side of the space, with the fabricated tooth or teeth attached in between.

For multiple missing teeth, an implant may be used to anchor the bridge.

Dental implants replace missing teeth and protect existing teeth by helping to preserve bone structure. Dental implants are composed of three pieces: a small screw made of a biocompatible metal called titanium, an abutment that connects the screw, and the final restoration.
