Dental Crowns & Bridges
Dental crowns and bridges are vital cornerstones of restorative treatment, allowing Dr. Puskas and the rest of our team to rebuild the strong, lifelike shape of healthy teeth that have been damaged or lost. Dental crowns cover an existing individual tooth, providing needed strength and support. There are several situations where they may be recommended, including:
- The patient is suffering from severe tooth decay that can’t be treated with a filling.
- The patient has a tooth that’s been cracked or otherwise injured.
- The patient has a tooth that is weakened and in need of additional support.
- The patient has a dental implant in need of restoration.
- The patient has a tooth that’s been treated with root canal therapy and is in need of restoration.
Crowns can also be used in conjunction with bridges to restore lost teeth. The prosthetic replenishes dental structure along a single arch, given that there are still healthy teeth located nearby. The dental crowns are “anchored” on these teeth, working to hold the new bridge in place for a permanent, sturdy fit. Implant-retained bridges are also available from our Buckhead practice!
Root Canal Therapy
Teeth that have become severely damaged to the point that the inner pulp and root is infected can no longer be treated with traditional restorative methods like crowns and fillings. Instead, root canal therapy is the last line of defense before extraction becomes necessary. Our dentist can handle this procedure right here in-office for a comprehensive care experience, taking the time to ensure patients remain as comfortable as possible throughout.
Root canal therapy is carried out by accessing the inner chamber of the tooth and removing diseased pulp and nerve. After this area has been thoroughly cleaned and sealed, a brand-new, custom restoration can be placed on top to protect the tooth’s structure and restore its beautifully natural appearance.
Wisdom Tooth Extractions
Your third molars (more commonly known as “wisdom teeth”) are the last permanent teeth to erupt in your smile, usually arriving when a patient is in their young adult years. However, by this point, your mouth has a very limited amount of space remaining to accommodate them, and this commonly leads to potentially serious concerns with overcrowding, impaction, and infection. Our doctors will closely monitor this area with the help of state-of-the-art X-rays, and if we determine that these problems are likely, extraction may be recommended as a safe, preventive measure that will help preserve your oral health.
Full & Partial Dentures
Dentures have been a staple of tooth replacement for hundreds of years now, and today, many patients still enjoy their convenient, cost-effective nature. Our team offers both full and partial removable models, depending on your personal needs, and implant-retained prosthetics are available as well for those who wish to enjoy a more stable, confident smile.
