Restorative Dentistry

Fillings in Lilburn have come a long way over the years, which is good news for any patient (regardless of age) when they get the terrible news that they have a cavity. There are no metal or amalgam fillings at Dental Familia. We choose to use a safer, more reliable composite material that can be fabricated to match the same color as your natural teeth. No one will be able to tell you that they visited your restorative dentist in Lilburn for a dental filling. Our tooth-colored fillings are tooth-colored too:

• They are ready to use immediately after your treatment.
• They don’t move, or cause unwanted sensitivity, like metal fillings.
• They are durable and able to stand the test of time.

If you’re nervous about having a filling in Lilburn, then you need to see the team at Family Dental. Your comfort is the most important thing and we do everything we can to make sure you are comfortable and feel good before, during, and after any appointment. Our office is equipped with some of the most advanced technology in dentistry, and our expert and caring team is up to date with the latest techniques. If you have any questions about fillings or other restorative work, feel free to contact us for more information.

Crowns and bridges are one of the most commonly used treatments for restorative dentistry in Lilburn, who can easily fix a broken smile. Say goodbye to damaged or decayed teeth and say hello to your refreshed and restored smile – that’s not all crowns can do! They are also extremely effective at:

• Giving your restorative dentist in Lilburn the ability to rebuild a tooth that is badly decayed.
• Supporting a tooth that has developed a large cavity or filling that needs to come out.
• Bring a smile back to life where time has done its damage.

But that’s not all a crown can do. Combine it with a bridge (either metal or porcelain fused to metal) and you’ve just entered completely new restorative territory. In reality, crowns act as a replacement tooth and help anchor the bridge in place if you are missing a tooth or multiple teeth. We can’t talk about crowns and not mention dental implants either. Crowns are what covers the implant post, giving you a complete smile. If you have teeth that are failing or have fallen out, we invite you to schedule a no-obligation consultation at Dental Familia. There is never any judgment or hassle when you trust us to take care of you and your family.

Are you missing one or more teeth? A partial denture could be a solution for you. A partial denture can be easily attached to your remaining teeth, usually using small metal clasps to hold your partial denture securely in place. One of the things patients like most about partial dentures is that they are removable, making them easy to clean and disinfect. Before we can create a custom, comfortable partial denture for you, we always perform a thorough oral examination. We need to make sure that the soft tissue and remaining teeth are strong enough to support the partial dentures. Sometimes, your dentist will need to fix a problem or two before you are ready for your restoration. Like any restorative dentist in Lilburn, we will take the time to create options for you and explain how everything works. We will not impose partial dentures on you if they are unnecessary or unwanted. When weighing your options, it’s helpful to know the benefits of having partial dentures, which:

• They are minimally invasive and cost less than replacing teeth completely.
• They restore your ability to chew, eat and speak better.
• They can help protect your gums and oral tissue.
• They prevent existing teeth from moving into the spaces of missing teeth.
• They take less time to get used to compared to full dentures.

Restorative dentistry in Lilburn, more specifically, full dentures have enjoyed some significant improvements over the years. Today’s full dentures are cleverly designed to be more comfortable and durable. Dentures can be removable or attached to dental implants for a more secure fit. They are perfect for replacing missing teeth and giving you back the function and healthy look of your smile. We customize your complete dentures, starting with a plastic or metal plate. On top of that, we attach your new set of beautiful teeth. We won’t stop until we find the perfect match in terms of color, shape and size to your natural teeth. (The goal is to make it so no one will know you’re wearing full dentures). If you’ve always dreaded the idea of full dentures, you may want to reconsider. Our dentures:

• Help increase your ability to bite and eat your favorite foods.
• Give you back your confidence and your appearance.
• Are removable for easy cleaning.

Even when you have a tooth that is damaged, perhaps even severely, we want to do everything we can to save it. We say this a lot, but only because it’s so accurate: there’s nothing better than your natural teeth. Of course, dental implants do an excellent job filling in where a tooth was lost, but we want to keep your current smile intact and healthy to last you a lifetime. This is where endodontics is essential to restorative dentistry in Lilburn. Endodontics focuses on getting rid of diseases and injuries that affect the soft tissue of the teeth or dental pulp. This procedure is also known as a root canal, a treatment that doesn’t wrap up well, but is actually one of the best ways to save teeth from damage and disease. A root canal can help you:

• Eliminate uncomfortable and unwanted toothache without the need for an extraction.
• Maintain healthy bone and jaw structure, keeping your natural teeth in their proper place.
• Reduce the risk of future problems or infections in your teeth.

Healing your smile and making it healthy is what Dental Familia is all about. We do most root canals in the comfort of our Lilburn dental office, without the need for a specialist. You’re in good hands with the Dental Familia team you know and trust.

Breaking the news to a patient that they need oral surgery is never fun. However, with today’s technology and techniques, oral surgery is more comfortable and efficient than you think. We perform minor extractions at Dental Familia and refer all other cases to our trusted oral surgeon partner. If you need a minor extraction, it could be because your tooth is broken beyond repair or severely infected, and there is no hope for successful root canal therapy. Once you have recovered from your oral surgery, we can discuss the many tooth replacement options we have to offer at Dental Familia. From crowns and bridges to durable dental implants, there is a sensible and affordable solution for you. Remember, if you are nervous about having surgery or are unsure about committing to this level of treatment, we hope you will share your thoughts with us. We will listen to your questions and understand your every concern. Rest assured that you will be comfortable and cared for during your surgery, in a calm environment designed to soothe you to sleep, while we tend to your smile. With us, you don’t have to worry about oral surgery. You can sit back, relax and let us restore your health and smile.

Your restorative dentist in Lilburn, is thrilled when a patient tells us they have never seen digital photography used in dentistry. It’s exciting to show someone who is new to knowing how this type of technology works, all the benefits it brings to all aspects of your oral health care. The two most important advantages of having digital photography technology are:

• Dentists make a more accurate and clearer diagnosis.
• Patients can better understand their oral health.

Depending on your individual case and needs, we can take 10 to 20 images of your teeth and mouth. The images are stored digitally and are easily accessible from anywhere in the office. We can look at the images together in our state-of-the-art treatment rooms. Digital photography is more innovative because it allows your dentist to zoom in and focus on a specific area they want you to consider for treatments. There may be something there that you never noticed before. With this powerful dental technology, we can take a deeper look at your smile and more clearly visualize what procedures can help restore your oral health. Are you ready to have your picture taken? Schedule a no-obligation consultation with Dental Familia and, as part of your comprehensive exam, we’ll be sure to take some photos of your smile.
