Restorative

Tooth-Colored Tooth Fillings

For small cavities, tooth colored fillings are an excellent choice. To protect your overall health, Dr. Windom and Dr. Lemke only use mercury-free tooth fillings to treat cavities. Not only are they safer, but they’re also more attractive.

Dental Implants

Are you missing one or all of your teeth? Dental implants could be the right solution for your smile. Dental implants are titanium posts implanted in your jaw that act as artificial “tooth roots”, permanently anchoring your new tooth, bridge or denture. Due to its biocompatible properties, the titanium fuses with your natural bone to create a strong base for your replacement crown or tooth. Your replacement tooth will be carefully crafted to look natural and fit into your smile seamlessly.

Gentle Root Canal Therapy

If your tooth is suffering from a large crack, cavity, severe pain, or an abscess, Dr. Windom or Dr. Lemke may recommend endodontic therapy to save it. If the idea of a root canal makes you feel nervous, ask us about our sedation dentistry options for anxious patients.

Root canal therapy is a relatively painless procedure and we make your comfort our priority. Once your procedure is completed, a dental crown will be placed to protect your tooth from further damage.

Dentures

Have you lost an entire arch of teeth on the top or bottom of your mouth? Are you going to have your remaining teeth removed because they are too unhealthy to save? You may be able to replace them with fixed dentures, which are supported by dental implants. Fixed dentures offer many advantages over conventional dentures. Call our office today to learn more about this liberating option.

Traditional Dentures

For patients missing all their teeth, we offer traditional dentures to give you back the function, feel and appearance of your natural teeth. If you already have dentures but hate the way they fit, we offer an implant retainment option for greater stability. We can even retrofit your existing dentures to snap into place!

Porcelain Dental Bridge

If you are missing more than one tooth in an area, Dr. Windom or Dr. Lemke might suggest a dental bridge as a tooth replacement option. Porcelain bridgework is used to replace one or more missing teeth and is anchored to natural teeth (called abutments) on either end of the gap. Dental bridgework will allow you to improve your smile and stabilize that area of your mouth, allowing you to smile with confidence again.

Dental Crown

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped “cap” made of porcelain, that is placed over a tooth to help restore its shape, strength and size. A dental crown can be the right choice to recreate the appearance and function of a tooth damaged by decay or trauma.

The crown replaces the external portion of the tooth down the the gums in order to help preserve the appearance of the patient’s smile.
