When it comes to restoring damaged or missing teeth, fixed restorations offer a long-lasting, natural-looking, and stable solution. Unlike removable dentures, fixed dental restorations are permanently secured in the mouth, providing enhanced function, durability, and aesthetics.
At Synergy Dental, we specialize in high-quality fixed restorations, including dental crowns, bridges, implant-supported restorations, and full-mouth rehabilitation. Whether you need to repair a damaged tooth or replace missing teeth, our advanced dental technology and expert team ensure that you receive the best possible results.
What Are Fixed Restorations?
Fixed dental restorations refer to permanent solutions used to restore or replace damaged, decayed, or missing teeth. Unlike removable dentures, fixed restorations are attached to natural teeth or dental implants, providing a strong, natural feel. Some of the most common types of fixed restorations include:
1. Dental Crowns
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its strength, function, and appearance. Crowns are commonly used for:
- Severely decayed or fractured teeth
- Protecting a tooth after a root canal
- Restoring a dental implant
2. Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth or implants. This solution:
- Restores chewing ability
- Prevents teeth from shifting
- Maintains facial structure and alignment
3. Implant-Supported Restorations
For a more permanent and secure option, dental implants can be used to support crowns, bridges, or even full-arch prosthetics. Implant-supported restorations:
- Function like natural teeth
- Offer superior stability and longevity
- Prevent jawbone deterioration
4. Full-Mouth Rehabilitation
For patients with extensive tooth loss or severe dental issues, full-mouth rehabilitation combines multiple fixed restoration techniques, such as:
Dental implants and crowns
- Porcelain veneers for cosmetic enhancement
- Restorative treatments for bite correction
The Process of Getting Fixed Restorations
At Synergy Dental, we follow a comprehensive approach to ensure that your fixed restoration is customized for comfort, function, and aesthetics.
1. Initial Consultation and Examination
The process begins with a detailed consultation, where we:
- Evaluate your oral health using digital X-rays and 3D imaging
- Discuss your concerns and treatment goals
- Create a personalized treatment plan
2. Tooth Preparation and Impression
For crowns and bridges, the damaged tooth is reshaped to make room for the restoration. A digital or traditional impression is then taken to design a perfectly fitted restoration.
For implant-supported restorations, the dental implant is placed surgically and given time to integrate with the jawbone before placing the final prosthetic.
3. Custom Fabrication of the Restoration
Your restoration is custom-made in our dental laboratory using high-quality materials like porcelain, zirconia, or ceramic, ensuring a natural appearance that blends seamlessly with your smile.
4. Placement and Final Adjustments
Once the restoration is ready:
- Crowns and bridges are cemented onto the prepared tooth or implant
- Implant-supported restorations are attached securely to the dental implant
- Final adjustments are made for optimal fit, bite alignment, and comfort
5. Aftercare and Maintenance
To ensure the longevity of your fixed restoration, we provide detailed aftercare instructions, including:
- Regular brushing and flossing to prevent plaque buildup
- Routine dental checkups for professional cleaning and assessment
- Avoiding hard foods that could damage your restoration
- Benefits of Fixed Restorations
1. Long-Lasting and Durable
Unlike removable dentures, fixed restorations are permanently secured, providing long-term durability. With proper care, they can last 10-20 years or more.
2. Restores Functionality
Fixed restorations allow you to:
- Chew and eat comfortably without restrictions
- Speak clearly without worrying about slipping dentures
- Enjoy a confident smile without concerns about shifting teeth
3. Natural-Looking Aesthetics
We use high-quality materials that mimic the color, shape, and texture of natural teeth, ensuring a seamless and beautiful smile.
4. Prevents Further Dental Issues
Missing or damaged teeth can lead to:
- Shifting of surrounding teeth
- Bone loss in the jaw
- Increased risk of decay and gum disease
- Fixed restorations help maintain oral health by preserving natural tooth alignment and jaw structure.
5. Improved Confidence and Quality of Life
A complete, healthy smile enhances self-esteem and boosts overall well-being, making it easier to socialize, eat, and speak comfortably.
