Fix Broken or Cracked Teeth in Huntington NY

happy restorative dentistry patients eating icecream in Huntington NYWhether by personal choices, genetics, or circumstances, many patients experience the need for restorative dentistry at some point or other.

It’s not too surprising when you think about how much we use and rely on our teeth on a daily basis. From social functions to meals, our teeth are called on to look nice and function properly.

That’s difficult to do when teeth are suffering from diseases or blemishes. Thanks to restorative dentistry, patients won’t have to worry about looking and feeling their best when it comes to their smiles.

Outstanding professional treatment by Dr. Matlach, Alicia and all the staff. Thank you!

What Is Restorative Dentistry?

Restorative dentistry is the diagnosis and treatment of oral health conditions that affect your ability to chew and speak properly. There are a number of dental treatments that comprise restorative dentistry, all of which we are happy to offer to our patients.

At Robert Matlach Dental in Huntington NY, we treat patients with missing teeth, a cracked tooth, a broken tooth, decay, and tooth infections in order to restore your teeth and your oral health.

Benefits of Restorative Dentistry

  • Cracked Teeth – If you have a cavity or a cracked tooth, restorative dentistry can fix it. You can have tooth-colored material applied to your tooth so that it will look as though it has never been damaged. This type of restoration can boost your confidence and protect your tooth from further damage.
  • Missing Teeth – Missing teeth are a primary concern in restorative dentistry. That gap in your smile can lead to bone recession as well as uneven wear to the rest of your teeth. We can help you fill in the gaps to restore the full function of your bite and prevent damage to your remaining teeth. Depending on the tooth replacement option you choose, we can even prevent further bone recession.
  • Broken Teeth – A broken tooth can be restored and strengthened with a dental crown. This means that we can save your natural tooth instead of extracting it!
  • Chipped Teeth – When a large portion of your tooth is missing such that cosmetic dental bonding is not enough to treat it, more involved restorative dentistry work may be required, such as a dental crown.
  • Infected Teeth – As for tooth-saving procedures, we also offer root canal therapy. This procedure helps us clear out an infection that is plaguing your mouth— without extracting the tooth.
