RESTORATIVE

CROWNS & BRIDGES
Dental crowns and bridges are two of the most reliable treatments in dentistry, and they can be used to repair a damaged tooth and replace the missing teeth. Using high-quality materials and meticulous attention to detail, we’ll make sure these restorations blend into your smile and make it look natural. To learn how they work and how they could help you.
A dental crown (or cap) is a dental restoration that encloses the entire tooth in order to restore its original size and shape. Crowns are typically needed for patients with weakened teeth that can’t be restored using other types of dental restorations, such as fillings.

Dr. Nastasa may recommend a dental crown & bridge if you have/need:
◾Root Canal Therapy
◾Cosmetic Enhancement
◾Fill gaps left by missing teeth
◾Restore a fully functioning bite
◾Replace a partial denture
◾Broken/Fractured Teeth
◾Decayed Teeth
◾Fractured Fillings
◾Large Fillings

DENTURES

A denture is a removable dental appliance created to replace missing teeth. Dentures are an important part of keeping the teeth and mouth in frame when one or more teeth are missing.

Art Dental Center offers both complete dentures and partial dentures. Complete dentures are a great solution for patients who are missing all of their teeth, while partial dentures will fill the spaces for missing teeth along the upper or lower arch. Partial dentures also help to prevent other teeth from shifting in the mouth. No matter which type of dentures is right for you, dentures will lend dental support and function to your smile.

Art Dental Center Dentures can:
◾Replace complete or partial tooth loss
◾Improve your ability to speak, chew, and digest
◾Enhance smile and facial tissues

PORCELAIN VENEERS

Porcelain Veneers are a cosmetic treatment that is able to correct a variety of flaws with just one procedure.

With them, we can:
◾Instantly whiten your teeth
◾Fix chips, cracks and gaps
◾Lengthen short teeth
◾Close gaps
◾Straighten slightly misaligned teeth

They are extremely thin porcelain sheaths that are bonded to the front of the teeth. Each and every veneer is custom-made, so whether you’re looking for a minor touch up or a complete makeover, they can give you exactly what you need.

METAL-FREE “Natural” RESTORATIONS

If you’ve sustained damage to any of the teeth that show when you smile, then you require a more elegant and natural-looking solution than a traditional metal crown. In these particular situations, we always use metal-free restorations to give a person their smile back.

TOOTH-COLORED FILLINGS

Traditionally, fixing a small cavity entailed using a metal filling, and while they are very strong, they always affect the appearance of the tooth they repair by leaving a large gray mark. With tooth-colored fillings, however, we can restore your tooth without altering your smile.

FULL & PARTIAL DENTURES

Dentures are one of the quickest and most affordable ways to effectively replace multiple missing teeth. Thanks to advancements in the field of dental prosthetics, modern-day dentures are now smaller, sleeker and more comfortable than ever.

DIRECT BONDING

Are small chips, cracks, or gaps negatively affecting your smile’s appearance? For these little problems, we have a quick and easy treatment that can fix them in as little as an hour. Your dentist will gradually apply composite resin to your tooth and use it to literally sculpt your tooth into the perfect shape, size, and color. After getting your approval and hardening the material with a curing light, you’re finished, and your new smile will be ready for the world!

TEETH WHITENING

Art Dental Center uses several methods of teeth whitening:
1. ZOOM! – With “take-home” trays to use for whitening
2. Professional-Strength pre-filled trays.

Reasons Why Your Teeth need Whitening
Factors like coffee, wine, dark sauces, tobacco, aging, and even genetics can often leave your smile looking stained and discolored, but with our professional teeth whitening treatments, we can quickly make your smile truly shine again.

If you’re looking to get results as fast as possible, ZOOM! Teeth Whitening can brighten your smile in as little as 45 minutes. Or, if you want more gradual results, we can provide you with your own customized trays that will have a specially designed set of mouth trays and a bleaching gel much stronger than anything you can find at the store. In either case, both treatments can make your smile up to 8 shades whiter!

TOOTH EXTRACTIONS

While our number one goal is to always preserve your natural teeth for as long as possible, sometimes the best course of treatment may involve removing one. This may be the case if:

• A tooth is too damaged to be restored
• Gum disease has damaged the bone supporting a tooth
• A baby tooth refuses to fall out naturally
• Room is needed for a denture
• Room is needed for orthodontic treatment 

Fortunately, our practice is specially equipped to handle even the most complicated extractions without having to refer you to an expensive specialist.

WISDOM TEETH

Wisdom teeth are our “third molars,” and are commonly removed because many jaws are not wide enough to accommodate them. If they don’t grow in properly, they can cause infection, swelling, and shifting of other teeth.
