When You Need Restorative Dental Work

Restorative dental work can cover dental problems big and small. Here are some of the common symptoms that call for the help of our Bountiful dentistry.

Missing Teeth

Missing teeth often come from eating hard foods, neglected dental habits, and hard impacts on your teeth. These cases require the help of dental crowns, bridges, and dentures, depending on the number of teeth that need to be repaired.

Knocked-out teeth, no matter how minimal the pain, should be replaced as soon as possible. Absent teeth can increase your risk of gum infections, tooth damage, misalignment, and cavities.

Cracked and Misshapen Teeth

Cracked teeth stem from sports injuries, teeth grinding, or simply from old age. This situation can quickly be fixed with the help of porcelain veneers or dental bonding techniques.

Chipped teeth can quickly become a nuisance for patients when trying to eat, drink, or socialize with others. Our advanced dental team will utilize cutting-edge technology to fill in the cracked area to match your teeth’s color and composition.

Dental Decay

Patients who are suddenly dealing with toothaches or sore gums often require restorative dental work. Root canals help remove the painful spots of your smile so you can swiftly prevent tooth damage from spreading to other areas of your grin.

Our emergency dental care allows our staff to address your concerns right when you need it, often on the same day.

What Is the Danger of Not Restoring Your Smile?

Ignoring dental problems or postponing treatment may seem harmless at first, but the consequences can become serious over time, such as:

  • Shifting Teeth | When even one tooth is missing, neighboring teeth begin to drift into the empty space, leading to misalignment and bite problems.
  • Bone Loss | Without the stimulation of tooth roots, the jawbone weakens and shrinks, changing your facial structure and making you look older.
  • Gum Disease & Decay | Damaged or missing teeth create areas where bacteria thrive, increasing your risk of gum disease and cavities.
  • Chewing & Digestion Issues | Missing teeth make it harder to chew properly, which can limit your diet and affect overall nutrition.
  • Confidence & Quality of Life | A compromised smile often leads to self-consciousness, reluctance to speak or laugh, and decreased social confidence.

Restorative and cosmetic dentistry treatments, such as crowns, implants, veneers, or bonding, help prevent these complications while giving you back the smile you deserve.

Delaying treatment can lead to bigger dental and health issues down the road. Restoring your smile now protects your oral health, improves function, and gives you the confidence to share your smile freely.

Our Treatments to Transform Smiles

Drs. Bahr and Larson will analyze your health symptoms, results from tooth scans, and your health history to recommend dental products that work well with your needs.

These are some of the services that we might recommend here at our clinic. Feel free to visit their respective pages listed above to learn more about each procedure!

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are custom-made caps designed to restore and protect individual damaged or decayed teeth. They help reinforce the tooth’s structure while blending in with your natural smile, offering both durability and a seamless appearance.

Dental Bridges

Dental bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to neighboring healthy ones. This fixed solution restores the functionality of your bite and helps maintain the alignment of your remaining teeth.

Dentures

Dentures are a removable option for patients with multiple missing teeth. Whether you need full or partial dentures, these custom-fitted appliances help restore your ability to chew, speak, and smile confidently.

Dental Bonding

Dental bonding is a versatile solution to fix chipped, cracked, or gapped teeth. Using tooth-colored resin, our team repairs and reshapes teeth, providing a natural-looking and durable finish.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are thin, durable shells applied to the front surface of teeth to cover imperfections such as cracks, chips, or stains. They enhance both the appearance and strength of your smile.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are a permanent solution to replace missing teeth. By placing a titanium post into the jawbone, we create a stable foundation for an artificial tooth, ensuring functionality and a natural look.

Root Canals

Root canals are used to treat severely decayed or infected teeth. This procedure removes the infected tissue, cleans the area, and seals it to prevent further damage, saving the tooth from extraction.

Frequently Asked Questions

We understand that choosing to restore your smile is a big decision. Here are answers to some of the most common questions we hear from patients:

How do I know which treatment is right for me?

Every smile is unique. During your consultation, one of our doctors will evaluate your oral health, listen to your goals, and recommend a customized plan, whether that includes implants, veneers, crowns, bonding, or a combination of treatments.

Is restoring my smile painful?

Modern techniques and technology make treatment more comfortable than ever. Most procedures involve little to no discomfort, and we offer sedation options for patients with dental anxiety.

How long will my results last?

With proper care, many restorative and cosmetic treatments can last a decade or longer. Dental implants can even last a lifetime. Regular checkups and good home care are key to protecting your investment.

Is a smile restoration only cosmetic?

Not at all. While restoring your smile improves appearance, it also protects your oral health, supports proper function, and helps prevent future dental problems.

How much does restoring a smile cost?

The cost depends on the treatment or combination of treatments recommended. We’ll provide a clear, personalized estimate before starting, and our team can discuss financing options to make care more accessible.
