Restorative Dentistry in Alpharetta, GA

When you are facing the discomfort of a cavity, the solution is often a dental filling. This common procedure, performed by Dr. Miles Bell at Arches Ferry Dental in Alpharetta, involves removing the decayed tooth material, cleaning the affected area, and then filling the cleaned-out cavity with a filling material. This not only restores the tooth to its normal function and shape but also prevents further decay by closing off spaces where bacteria can enter.

Dental crowns can help revive your smile if you are struggling with cracked or broken teeth. These tooth-shaped caps serve as a protective layer for the natural root of your tooth while enhancing your bite's functionality. If you have undergone a root canal or dental implant procedure, a crown can also improve the health of your tooth. With the option to choose from a range of materials, crowns are suitable for both restorative and cosmetic purposes, allowing you to smile with ease and confidence.

Toothaches can be a sign of a serious infection and cause significant discomfort. Fortunately, root canal therapy offers a solution to provide the relief you need and restore the health of your tooth. During a root canal procedure, the infected pulp of the tooth is removed, and the area is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. Once the tooth has been properly treated, it can be restored with a filling or a dental crown to help maintain its structure. Not only can root canal therapy alleviate the pain caused by the infection, but it can also prevent the need for a tooth extraction. By saving your natural tooth, you can smile with confidence and avoid more extensive and costly dental work down the line.

If you're faced with the need for a tooth extraction or if you're already missing a tooth, remember you've got plenty of options for a replacement. One top choice is dental implants. They do more than just fill in your smile. They also restore the strength of your bite and promote the overall health of your mouth. The best part? Dental implants are not only long-lasting and secure but can also slow, or even halt, bone loss by imitating the shape and function of your natural tooth roots. Want to learn more?

There's no need to keep covering up your mouth if a missing tooth is leaving a gap in your smile. With a dental bridge, the space left behind by one, or several, missing teeth can be permanently covered. The bridge is attached to your teeth on either side of the gap, so it won't slide around when you eat or speak. Your bridge also won't stand out from the rest of your smile —it can be color-matched to blend with your other teeth. Keep your teeth from shifting and reduce the risk of bone loss and problems with your bite by asking your dentist about a bridge. Schedule a consultation today to see if a dental bridge can help you complete your smile!

Missing just a few teeth? Partial dentures may be the right choice for you. Partial dentures look natural, are removable, and can be a great solution to restoring the function of your teeth and jaw. Make the first step in restoring your smile by booking a consultation.
