Why Choose The Dental Spor for Restorative Dentistry?

Restorative dentistry is where Dr. Plasha’s prosthodontic training becomes especially valuable. Replacing or rebuilding teeth requires an understanding of how teeth function together as a system — how bite forces are distributed, how restorations interact with surrounding teeth, and how to create outcomes that are durable as well as beautiful. Dr. Plasha brings that full picture to every restorative case, which means patients receive treatment that does not just fix the immediate problem but protects the long-term health of their entire smile.

Restorative Dentistry FAQ’s

Frequently Asked Questions

A dental crown covers the entire tooth and is used when a tooth is significantly damaged, weakened, or has undergone root canal therapy. A veneer covers only the front surface of a tooth and is primarily used for cosmetic improvements to teeth that are structurally sound. Dr. Plasha will recommend the appropriate restoration based on your tooth's condition and your goals.

Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth because they are permanent, they preserve jawbone, and they function just like natural teeth. Most adults in good general health are candidates. Dr. Plasha uses Cone Beam 3D imaging to evaluate your bone density and structure and determine whether implants are the right fit — and if additional preparation like bone grafting is needed first.

With proper care, dental crowns typically last fifteen to twenty years or longer. Their longevity depends on the material used, your bite forces, and how well you maintain your oral hygiene. Dr. Plasha will recommend the most durable material for your specific tooth and discuss what to expect in terms of maintenance and long-term wear.

A bridge fills the gap left by a missing tooth by anchoring an artificial tooth to the two teeth on either side of the space. An implant replaces the tooth root itself with a titanium post that supports a standalone crown. Implants are generally preferred because they do not require altering adjacent healthy teeth and they prevent bone loss in the jaw. However, bridges are a valid and effective option in certain cases.

Multiple missing teeth can be replaced with dental implants, implant-supported bridges, partial dentures, or full dentures depending on how many teeth are missing and your overall oral health. Dr. Plasha will evaluate your full mouth situation and present a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses both function and aesthetics in a way that fits your goals and your budget.
