Did you know that the health and comfort of your smile directly impacts your quality of life? Restorative dentistry focuses on renewing the full function and comfort of the smile. Problems like missing teeth, tooth damage, an uneven bite, and even sleep apnea affect your dental health. Restoring the health and function of the teeth and gums can make everyday life more comfortable and teeth more functional. At Orchard Lake Dental Care, Dr. Anthony Yaldo provides restorative dentistry services to patients in Keego Harbor, MI, to restore and improve their oral health. Dr. Yaldo also provides comprehensive dental services to new and existing patients in Keego Harbor.
Restorative Dentistry in Keego Harbor, MI
Dr. Yaldo works with dental laboratories to deliver customized restorations and uses the latest technology to ensure patients receive comfortable, natural-looking results. Restorative treatments can include:
Dental Bridge
A dental bridge is a restoration that secures one or more consecutive false teeth. Bridges can lay on top of the gums or receive support from dental implants. Dental bridges create a fuller smile with natural-looking teeth.
Dental Crown
A dental crown acts like a cap to cover single damaged or worn teeth. Crowns are custom-made with porcelain materials to match the shape and shade of natural teeth. Dental crowns can also support dental bridges or cap off single dental implants.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are known as the gold standard for replacing one or more missing teeth. A dental implant comprises a titanium post, abutment, and restoration. We work with local oral surgeons to place the implant post in the jaw bone, where it will fuse with the bone tissue.
Dentures & Partials
When people think of dental restorations, they often think of dentures. Partial dentures can restore rows of missing teeth, while full or complete dentures restore the upper and lower tooth arches. Traditional dentures are removable, while more modern implant-secured dentures support false teeth at the root.
Gum Disease Treatment
Periodontitis, or gum disease, is a common but highly damaging dental problem. Patients with gum disease can have bleeding, irritated, and even receded gums. Dental lasers and deep gum cleanings can help the gums reattach to teeth and ensure that patients do not lose gum or bone tissue. We provide periodontal disease treatment for our patients.
Sleep Apnea
Did you know that your dentist can treat sleep apnea? Dr. Yaldo works with sleep experts to help treat patients who experience sleep apnea. He offers oral appliances for patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea symptoms who want an alternative to CPAP machines.
TMJ Treatment
Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) occur when there is damage or pressure to the joints that control biting and chewing. Patients with TMD can clench or grind their teeth often during stressful situations or unconsciously during sleep. A custom-fit oral appliance will cover the upper or lower teeth and prevent tooth wear and damage. We provide TMJ treatment to patients in Keego Harbor, MI.
Restorative Dental Care Q&A
Below we will answer common questions about restorative care:
What is a full mouth reconstruction?
A full mouth restoration or a full mouth reconstruction utilizes multiple restorative treatments to renew the smile’s function. We can use a combination of restorative treatments to address bite problems, gum disease, and missing or damaged teeth.
Can dental implants replace all of your teeth?
Dental implants can secure dentures but will not replace every tooth at the root. As few as four implants can secure an arch of false teeth. However, this number will depend on the amount of healthy bone tissue.
Do I have sleep apnea if I snore?
Snoring isn’t the only indicator of sleep apnea and is not the same as sleep apnea. Snoring is the result of vibrations in the airway. Sleep apnea occurs when tissues block the airway. While snoring can be a symptom of sleep apnea, it does not automatically mean a patient has sleep apnea if they snore.
