While most dental practices offer a very narrow scope of procedures, at Alta Loma Dental Care, we have established a full-service dental practice that specializes in preventative, restorative and cosmetic dental procedures. We wanted to create a practice that not only keeps your teeth safe, but also one that can restore your smile if something happens.
With restorative dentistry, we are able to replace or restore missing teeth or missing parts of the tooth structure. Tooth structure can be damaged due to decay, deterioration of a previously placed restoration or the tooth could fracture. We offer the following restorative dental procedures at our Alta Loma, CA office:
- Bridges
- Crowns
- Dentures
- Bonding
The goal of restorative dentistry is to preserve your natural teeth as much as possible. In cases where we cannot save the natural teeth, full dentures might be necessary. Most people do not know that a missing tooth can cause serious damage to your mouth. When a tooth a missing, the rest of your teeth will begin to shift, causing your teeth to become misaligned. When teeth become misaligned, they are more difficult to clean, and decayed teeth are susceptible to periodontal disease which can lead to tooth loss. Missing teeth also put extra stress on your remaining natural teeth because you don't have as much surface area to chew with.
