Restorative Care
Exceptional restorative care balances function, health, and natural aesthetics. Dr. Turner is dedicated to delivering precise, high-quality treatment that restores strength while maintaining a beautifully natural appearance.
The longevity of your restorations depends on consistent professional hygiene and excellent at-home care. With the right routine, your smile can remain healthy, functional, and lasting for years to come.
Fillings
Composite, or tooth-colored, fillings are a versatile and aesthetic solution used to restore teeth affected by decay, minor fractures, exposed root surfaces, or areas of enamel loss. Designed to blend seamlessly with your natural tooth structure, they provide both strength and a beautiful, natural appearance.
Silver Diamine Fluoride
Silver diamine fluoride is a gentle, non-invasive treatment used to stop early decay and protect vulnerable areas of the teeth. Applied in seconds, it works by strengthening enamel and halting cavity progression—without the need for numbing or drilling.
While sealants are designed to prevent decay on healthy teeth, SDF goes a step further by actively stopping existing areas of concern. It’s a conservative, effective option for preserving natural tooth structure and supporting long-term oral health.
Crowns
In instances where a tooth has fractured, been treated by an endodontist, or previous restorations have overwhelmed natural tooth structure, crowns may be necessary. Crowns are optimal for situations in which tooth shape, size, or color need to be adjusted, whether the reason is functional, aesthetic, or both.
The first appointment in the process involves preparation of the tooth to fit the crown and the creation of a temporary while the permanent cap is made by our partnering lab.
The permanent crown will be delivered in a subsequent visit. If you are scheduled for treatment, and begin to experience any aching or sensitivity at the treatment site, please contact our office prior to your appointment, as it's possible you may need to be seen by a specialist prior to restoration.
For Missing Teeth
In the event that you have gaps in your smile, whether teeth have been extracted or are congenitally missing, there are several solutions available that provide functional and aesthetic value. All options require an intra-oral scan, and some may involve additional preparation performed on existing structure, similar to a crown. Dr. Turner uses personalized oral history and working knowledge to recommend the solutions with the best prognosis for each patient.
Implant crowns: Implants and resulting crowns are single-site solutions for missing teeth. Implants are placed by an oral surgeon and allow for a biting surface opposite permanent teeth, and contacts between teeth to encourage gum health, without impacting those adjacent.
Bridges: Bridges are fixed prosthetics that can fill gaps in your smile using crowns anchored to adjacent teeth.
Dentures: Dentures are removable appliances that can replace entire arches of missing teeth, or simply fill a gap, similar to a bridge.
