Dental Restorations on Hillcroft Ave, Houston, TX

If you have a chipped tooth, small cavities, or gaps between your teeth, we can fix them using direct dental restorations in Houston, TX. These restorations are prepared chair-side and placed in your oral cavity within the same visit. There are various types of direct restorations, but the most common ones are:

• Amalgam: It is a mixture of different metals, which includes mercury, tin, copper, and silver. Although it is very durable, it is not a good aesthetic option due to its metallic color.
• Glass ionomer: It contains silicate glass powder as the primary dental material. It is useful for restoring small cavities, temporary fillings, root caries, and primary teeth.
• Composite: It provides the best aesthetics among all other options because of shade resemblance with your natural teeth. Composite restorations are also very sturdy and seal a dental cavity effectively to prevent further damage.

Indirect dental restorations involve preparation in a dental lab before they are placed in your mouth. These types of dental restorations in Houston, TX, typically require two appointments. Custom-fit indirect restorations include:

• Veneers: These are thin porcelain laminates that conceal and correct the visible portion of your teeth.
• Dental crowns: They resemble the natural tooth structure and cover the entire tooth surface to provide protection.
• Dental bridges: Ideal for restoring one or more adjacent missing teeth within the same arch.
• Inlays and onlays: Customized porcelain restorations that resemble the natural tooth color and restore functions.
• Dental implants: They replace the root and crown portion of a missing tooth, providing a fixed, durable replacement option.
