Dental Repair: Restoring Strength and Confidence
Life happens. Whether you bit down on something hard, suffered a sports injury, or simply have an old filling that failed, a broken tooth can be stressful and painful. You need a solution that not only stops the pain but looks like nothing ever happened.
At Gardens Implant & Cosmetic Dentistry, we specialize in comprehensive Dental Repair.
We don't just "patch" teeth; we rebuild them. Using advanced materials and precise techniques, we restore the structural integrity and natural appearance of your damaged tooth so you can eat, speak, and smile without worry.
Why Choose Gardens for Your Tooth Repair?
Repairing a tooth requires a careful balance of removing the damage while preserving the healthy structure. Here is why patients in Palm Beach Gardens trust us:
Conservative Approach: We believe in saving as much of your natural tooth as possible. We choose the most conservative treatment option (like a filling or onlay) before recommending more extensive work (like a crown).
Aesthetic Materials: We use high-strength, tooth-colored composites and ceramics. We do not use dark metal amalgam. Your repair will blend seamlessly with your smile.
Rapid Relief: If you are in pain or have a sharp edge cutting your tongue, we prioritize getting you into the chair quickly to resolve the issue.
PROCEDURE
Our Repair Solutions
The right treatment depends on the extent of the damage.
Dental Bonding: For minor chips or cracks, we can sculpt composite resin onto the tooth to restore its shape in a single visit.
Tooth-Colored Fillings: For cavities or small fractures, we use durable, invisible fillings to seal and strengthen the tooth.
Dental Crowns: For teeth with severe decay or large breaks, a crown acts as a protective "helmet," covering the entire tooth to prevent it from splitting further.
Inlays & Onlays: For damage that is too big for a filling but doesn't require a full crown, these custom-made porcelain restorations fit into the tooth like a puzzle piece, offering incredible strength.
TESTIMONIAL
Patient Success Story: The Popcorn Incident
Actual Patient Scenario
The Challenge: "Mark," a 50-year-old, bit down on an unpopped kernel while watching a movie and heard a loud crack. A large piece of his back molar broke off. He wasn't in pain yet, but the tooth felt jagged and sensitive to cold.
The Solution: Mark came in the next morning. Dr. Shakya examined the tooth and found the fracture was large but hadn't reached the nerve. He recommended a porcelain Onlay to rebuild the lost cusp without grinding down the rest of the healthy tooth.
The Result: The onlay was bonded in place. It felt smooth and solid. Mark was relieved he didn't need a root canal. He told us, "It feels stronger than it did before. I'm just going to be more careful with popcorn from now on!"
