The number one priority of dentistry is the prevention of dental and oral health problems. That’s why
Dr. Arthur Schramm and his staff at
Schramm Dentistry in
Charlotte, NC, encourage patients to have regular checkups and to brush and floss their teeth every day. These practices are the ounce of prevention that help you avoid problems such as cavities, gum disease and even infection. But every now and then when you need a cure, you can feel comfortable knowing that Dr. Schramm offers a complete menu of
restorative dentistry procedures.
Tooth-colored Fillings
Probably one of the most frequently performed restorative procedures is a filling for a cavity. Fortunately, there are now composite resin materials that are not only strong and durable, but better yet they are
tooth-colored. Moreover, these materials require less removal of the tooth to prepare for the filling, so your tooth is less likely to weaken over time.
Root Canal Therapy
A tooth can become infected if severe decay or a traumatic injury opens the narrowest of passageways for bacteria to migrate to the dental pulp. With infection usually comes a toothache and if nothing is done, then tooth will need to be extracted. To avoid extraction, Dr. Schramm can perform a
root canal, which removes the infected pulp, disinfects this chamber and the attached roots, and fills the space with an anti-bacterial, biocompatible material.
Dental Implants
Having one or more missing teeth can cause a person to have difficulty chewing, talking, laughing or smiling. Moreover, just one missing tooth can bring on a number of oral health concerns including gum disease, shifting teeth and an improper bite. A
dental implant is a tooth replacement that provides a new tooth in both form and function. The implant consists of a titanium post that is surgically inserted into the jawbone beneath the open socket of a missing tooth. A crown is then attached to this post, thereby creating a replace for the entire tooth.
