Dental Restorations in Mira Mesa

Even with disciplined oral health care habits, teeth often become exposed to harmful bacteria and damaged by daily wear and tear. Modern dentistry has many methods to restore dental health, whether it be a filling for a small cavity or a prosthetic after tooth loss. 

Boston Dental Group in Mira Mesa, San Diego conveniently provides a full spectrum of restorative treatments. With advanced training in prosthodontics, your care is in capable hands with Dr. Shin Ahn. 

Restorations to Treat Minor and Major Tooth Damage

By practicing good oral health at home and seeing your dentist regularly, most extensive dental issues can be avoided. Early intervention of fillings can prevent the need of expensive and extensive dental treatments later. Whatever level of care you require, Dr. Ahn can restore function and aesthetics to your smile with several dental restorations, such as:

Tooth-Colored Fillings: Made of composite resin, these fillings are matched to the surrounding color of tooth enamel. They contain no toxic metals and preserve maximum tooth structure. 

Porcelain Crowns: Often placed on teeth with severe damage or after root canal therapy, crowns cap teeth with lustrous porcelain, providing dental protection and a lifelike shine. The full function of a tooth can resume after placement of a porcelain crown.

Zirconia Crowns: A type of dental crown made from zirconium dioxide, a strong and durable ceramic material. It is often used in restorative dentistry to restore the shape, size, and function of a damaged or decayed tooth. Zirconia crowns are known for their excellent aesthetic appeal as they can closely mimic the natural color and translucency of natural teeth.

Fixed Bridges: Used to permanently treat tooth loss of one or more teeth, bridges are lifelike prosthetic teeth cemented onto adjacent teeth. The supporting teeth are preliminarily capped with porcelain crowns, so they can be strong anchors to pontic teeth. The entire bridge is matched to surrounding teeth for a natural and lustrous restoration.

Dentures and Partial Dentures: Resting on top of the gums, dentures are made of pearly white prosthetic crowns and an acrylic that is matched to gingival tissue. Partial dentures use metal hooks to clasp onto neighboring teeth for support, whereas a full arch denture remains secure with natural suction and adhesive pastes. Dentures and partial dentures restore much of the function and beauty of missing teeth. 

Implant-supported Restorations:  This is the healthiest and most comfortable way to replace teeth. Using implant posts and porcelain prosthetics, an entire tooth is replaced from root to crown, returning full bite force and natural beauty to your smile. Dental implants can support different types of restorations: 

  • Porcelain Crowns for single tooth replacements
  • Dental bridges to support a row of teeth
  • Hybrid Permanent Dentures to support a full arch of missing teeth
  • Overdentures to support removable dentures
