Restorative Dentistry - Greeley, CO

Dental Crowns & Bridges

Our custom-made restorations can come in handy in a variety of situations, rebuilding durable, functional “teeth” that will work well alongside the rest of your natural smile. Crowns may be recommended if a tooth is weakened, hurting, cosmetically imperfect, or simply incomplete. The restoration has a two-pronged effect, both preserving the remaining shape while replenishing the reliable structure it’s lacking. Alternatively, a bridge replaces one or more teeth that have gone missing in a row. It uses the two surrounding natural teeth as anchors for the prosthetic teeth that fit in between—creating a literal bridge over the gap left after tooth loss.

Tooth-Colored Fillings

Older patients surely remember the days of dark-colored, amalgam fillings – it’s likely that you may even still have some. In today’s world, though, our dental team has invested in something much better for treating cavities. We now use composite resin, which comes in several lifelike shades that can be precisely matched to your existing tooth enamel. The final result is comfortable, conservative, and so aesthetically pleasing so that you will probably not be able to distinguish it from natural tooth enamel.

Dentures & Partial Dentures

Significant tooth loss can hurt more than just your oral health – you may find that even chatting with friends, eating favorite foods, and more of life’s everyday pleasures become difficult or embarrassing. In this case, Dr. Cure and Dr. Smith would be happy to introduce you to the benefits of modern dentures.

These appliances are much different from the “one-size-fits-all” models you see in old cartoons – your denture will be custom-made for your unique mouth, very reliable, and comfortable as well. Better yet, we can outfit it with state-of-the-art dental implants for an even more permanent and lifelike fit.

Root Canals

Are you experiencing a lot of pain or sensitivity in a specific tooth? There may be a serious infection raging beneath the tough outer layers. Root canal therapy can be a saving grace in these dire situations, allowing patients to restore health and vitality to natural teeth that would otherwise have to be extracted. During this procedure, one of our dentists will carefully access the inner pulp of the tooth, eradicating harmful bacteria from the canals. After the tooth has been thoroughly cleaned and sealed, a new dental crown will be the finishing touch.

Extractions

Our dental team is always working hard to help patients avoid the need for extractions above all else. However, there are situations where this service becomes an unfortunate necessity, such as:

• When a tooth has suffered a serious injury and can’t be restored.
• When the patient is experiencing advanced periodontal disease and/or significant dental decay.
• When a primary (“baby”) tooth needs to be removed to make way for an emerging adult one.
• When wisdom teeth (the third molars) are impacted, overcrowded, or otherwise negatively affecting the patient’s wellbeing.
• When the patient is in need of orthodontic treatment and one or more teeth must be removed to make room.

If you fit into any of the above categories, rest assured that we will handle your procedure smoothly and comfortably. If the tooth or teeth need to be replaced, Dr. Cure and Dr. Smith will also jumpstart this process with your input so that any time spent without a full smile is as minimal as possible.
