White Fillings
Composite resin fillings were created as an alternative to metal dental fillings. Dr. Beers has chosen to place this type of filling material exclusively. Composite Resin fillings are strong, durable and make for a very natural-looking restoration. Although they are much more “technique sensitive” than a metal filling, the beauty and durability justify the added time and cost needed to place them. The composite resin filling material bonds to the tooth structure to actually strengthen the tooth which helps prevent breakage and further damage. These fillings are both beautiful and functional. They are color blended to match your natural tooth color, and can improve the appearance of misshapen, chipped or discolored teeth for a more beautiful smile.
Bridges
A dental bridge replaces a missing tooth or teeth. After tooth removal it is important to fill the space so the rest of the teeth do not shift out of position. A bridge can help prevent this from happening. The two teeth on either side of the space (the abutment teeth) are prepared for crowns and joined together at the lab by a false tooth (the pontic) filling the space. A bridge is created specifically for you to match the shade and contours of your remaining teeth. It is then permanently cemented to restore your beautiful smile. With proper oral hygiene, your fixed bridge will be a beautiful restoration for many years to come.
Implants
Dental implants are placed by an oral surgeon or periodontist and restored beautifully by Dr. Beers. Since dental implants integrate into the bone structure, they look and feel like your own teeth. Though high-tech in nature, they are actually a more conservative restoration than bridgework because they do not rely on neighboring teeth for support. They are also an excellent option for denture retention and support when lack of bone makes dentures feel loose and uncomfortable. Dental implants look and feel so natural that you may forget you ever lost a tooth. The success rate is highly predictable and they are considered an excellent option for tooth replacement.
