Restorative Dental Services
Restorative dentistry focuses on bringing back the function and form of your bite. This includes treatments to replace missing teeth and improve the health of your gums and jaw joints. At Congressional Dental Care, we also offer complete dental implant treatment plans in one place.
Dr. Sarkarzadeh will start with a thorough exam to check for any dental problems. This may include x-rays and a deep cleaning. Afterward, he will explain your treatment options and recommend the most comfortable and least invasive solution for your needs.
Our Rockville office offers personalized care, making sure the treatment plan fits your budget, lifestyle, and goals. We have a wide range of restorative treatments to help you get your natural smile back, including:
Dental Implants
Dental implants act like artificial tooth roots. They are small titanium screws placed into your jawbone to hold a new tooth, bridge, or denture. Over time, your jawbone grows around the implant, creating a strong base for your replacement tooth.
Once the implant is secure, Dr. Sarkarzadeh will attach a custom-made tooth or restoration. This final piece will look and feel like your natural teeth, giving you a strong, long-term solution for missing teeth.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are caps placed over damaged teeth to protect them and restore their shape, size, and strength. We offer porcelain crowns because they look natural and blend in with your other teeth. Each crown is custom-made, ensuring it fits perfectly.
Dr. Sarkarzadeh uses crowns to fix teeth that are severely decayed, cracked, chipped, or worn down. Crowns are a great way to repair and strengthen damaged teeth.
Dental Bridges
Dental bridges fill the gap created by one or more missing teeth. If you’re missing one or two teeth, a bridge can help by connecting the gap between your remaining teeth.
A bridge is made of two or more crowns on either side of the gap, with a false tooth in between. The crowns anchor the bridge to the natural teeth or implants next to the gap, while the false tooth fills in the space.
A dental bridge gives you a sturdy, long-lasting solution that restores your ability to chew and speak properly.
Dentures
If you have lost most or all of your teeth, Dr. Smith can help by providing dentures. We design dentures to fit your mouth comfortably, so you can eat, speak, and smile with ease.
We offer three types of dentures at Congressional Dental Care: complete dentures, partial dentures, and implant-supported dentures. If all your natural teeth are missing, we provide either complete dentures or implant-supported dentures.
If you’re only missing a few teeth but still have healthy ones, we can provide partial dentures. These dentures attach to your existing teeth with metal clasps or other attachments to keep them in place. Our modern dentures are easy to adjust to, look natural, and feel great.
Inlays and Onlays
Inlays and onlays are similar to dental crowns, but they cover less of the tooth. You can think of them as partial crowns! They’re a good option when the damage isn’t too bad, requiring less prep time than a full crown.
An inlay is like a puzzle piece that fits into a cavity on the top of a tooth, perfect for large cavities where a filling isn’t enough. An onlay covers a larger area, including the edges of the tooth, making it helpful for more extensive decay or damage that doesn’t need a full crown.
Inlays and onlays work well for teeth that need more support than a filling but don’t require a full crown because there’s enough healthy enamel left.
TMJ Treatment
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder affects the joint that connects your jaw to your skull, causing pain and difficulty moving your jaw.
Dr. Sarkarzadeh is experienced in treating TMJ disorders. Common symptoms include frequent morning headaches, jaw pain, soreness, and clicking or popping sounds when you open or close your mouth.
At Congressional Dental Care, we offer several treatments to help relieve TMJ symptoms. These include oral appliances, orthodontic treatments, and restorative procedures.
If you’re unsure whether you have TMJ disorder, it’s a good idea to visit us for a diagnosis and personalized treatment plan.
Dental Implants Under One Roof
Dental implants offer a natural, comfortable, and long-lasting way to replace missing teeth. They have a 95% success rate and help improve long-term oral health by keeping the bone strong and supporting the bite and face structure.
At Congressional Dental Care, we offer complete dental implant treatments right in our Rockville office, making the process easier, faster, and more convenient for you. Each patient gets a personalized consultation, an oral health exam, and a treatment plan that fits their needs.
Dr. Farzin performs the implant procedure in our office, making it a safe and convenient option. We offer implant-supported crowns for single missing teeth, implant-supported bridges for several missing teeth in a row, and implant-supported dentures for those missing an entire arch of teeth.
Restorative Dentistry FAQs
What is restorative dentistry?
Restorative dentistry fixes teeth that are damaged, decayed, or missing. Our dental team uses treatments like dental fillings, crowns, or implants to bring back a healthy smile. People who have cavities, broken teeth, or gaps from missing teeth might need it. Our goal is to help you chew and speak better, too. If you’re having trouble with your teeth or just want to feel more confident, restorative dentistry can make a big difference in your daily life.
How is restorative dentistry different from cosmetic dentistry?
Restorative dentistry focuses on fixing teeth to make them work better and stay healthy. We use restorative dental care to fix problems like cavities, broken teeth, or missing teeth. Cosmetic dentistry, on the other hand, is about making your smile look nicer. Our cosmetic treatments include treatments like whitening teeth or porcelain veneers. While restorative dentistry is essential for oral health, cosmetic dentistry is more about boosting your appearance. Your dentist can even use both to give you a healthy and beautiful smile.
How do I care for my teeth after restorative dentistry?
After restorative dentistry, keeping up with an oral health care routine is key. Brush twice daily with a soft brush and floss daily, especially around dental crowns or fillings. Avoid hard or sticky foods that could damage your new work. If you have a crown or implant, be gentle when chewing. Visit your dentist regularly for check-ups to catch any issues early. Good dental care helps your restorations last longer and keep your smile healthy.
Will my restorative dentistry results look natural?
Yes, we will ensure to make your results as natural as possible. Congressional Dental Care uses materials like porcelain or composite resin that match the color and shape of your real teeth. Whether it’s a dental crown, filling, or bridge, these treatments will blend seamlessly with your smile. We aim to ensure everything looks and feels just like your natural teeth.
Does dental insurance cover restorative dentistry?
Many dental insurance plans cover restorative dentistry, especially if you need it for your oral health. Procedures like dental crowns, fillings, and root canals are often included because they fix problems like decay or damage. However, coverage depends on your plan. Always discuss your coverage with your dental insurance provider first. Some treatments, like implants, might have partial coverage or none at all.
Can restorative dentistry help with TMJ disorders?
Yes, restorative dentistry can sometimes help with TMJ disorders. TMJ issues often come from a misaligned bite; treatments like dental crowns or Invisalign can fix this. Adjusting the bite can reduce pressure on the jaw joint, easing pain and discomfort. While it may not cure your TMJ issues, it can be part of a solution to improve your jaw health and overall comfort.
Can restorative dentistry prevent future tooth loss?
Yes, restorative dentistry can help prevent future tooth loss. Treatments like dental bridges, crowns, or implants support weak or damaged teeth, keeping them from getting worse. Fixing issues in their early stages, like decay or cracks, stops problems from spreading. Even procedures like fillings protect teeth from further damage. Restorative dentistry reduces the risk of losing teeth later by restoring your teeth and keeping your bite aligned.
How does aging affect restorative dental work?
As we age, restorative dental work may need more care or updates. Over time, dental implants, fillings, and crowns can wear down from chewing or grinding. Gums might recede, affecting how restorations fit. Older adults may also face issues like dry mouth, which can increase decay around restorations. Regular dental appointments are vital to ensure the restorations work as they should and to find problems early. With good care, many restorations can last long, but some may need replacement as we age.
