Top Quality Restorative Dental Care in The Woodlands
Trust Dr. Vakil for Expert Tooth Repair
Dr. Vakil’s goal for her patients is to help them develop a consistent approach to oral health that minimizes the need for restorative dental care in The Woodlands.
Along the way, however, damage due to accidents and/or decay resulting from previous hygiene neglect can make restorative procedures necessary.
Dr. Vakil’s state-of-the-art materials and technology have been developed to be long-lasting, exceptionally strong, and natural-looking.
Tooth Colored Fillings
When decay creates a cavity, essentially a hole in a tooth, chewing can become complex and painful. The cavity also leaves the tooth open to further infection. A tooth-colored composite resin filling restores the strength and function of the damaged tooth without the conspicuous silver color of older amalgam fillings. These modern, mercury-free, tooth-colored fillings are made of healthier composite materials that blend beautifully with your smile.
Crowns and Bridges
A crown is a custom-made replacement for the significantly damaged or decayed above-the-gum portion of a tooth. A bridge combines crown treatment with gap filling by placing crowns on both sides of an empty spot. Those crowns are manufactured in one piece with one or more custom porcelain teeth that fill in where teeth are missing.
Dentures & Partials
Dentures and partial dentures are used when many teeth have been lost or need to be removed. A set of custom-molded, custom-colored artificial teeth secured into a gum-colored base is created for the patient. Contemporary technology and materials have made dentures and partials more secure than older methods. However, an over-the-counter dental adhesive is still a great option for helping them stay firm.
