Restorative Dentistry in East Amherst, NY

If your teeth have become weak and are vulnerable to damage, a dental crown is a valuable layer of protection and can also help restore esthetic disruptions in your smile from damage or decay.

Dental crowns can be ideal for restoring severely damaged teeth. We use high-quality, lab-made crowns built from porcelain. These tooth-shaped dental prostheses cover up and protect your entire tooth all the way down to your gums, essentially replacing it and protecting the remaining natural tooth from damage so you can eat on your tooth worry-free.

If you have a cavity or damaged tooth, dental fillings can help restore your tooth’s structure and function, all while blending in with your natural tooth.

At The Ivory Dental Co., we exclusively use composite resin-tooth-colored fillings. Composite fillings last for an average of 5–7 years, though there are many documented cases of these fillings lasting for longer than 10 years with proper care. These fillings wear away faster in the molars compared to the front teeth. 

Prior to your filling, we will numb your mouth with a local anesthetic for a comfortable experience.

Dental bridges use 2 crowns that attach to healthy teeth in your mouth and hold 1 or more false teeth in place in the gap where your teeth used to be. Compared to partial dentures, they last longer, look more natural, and are easier to care for, but they may require 2 healthy teeth to be trimmed. 

Dr. Sweeney can help you determine which treatment may be right for you.

Dental bonding can help with cracked or chipped teeth or even improve shade and shape. We’re passionate about all things oral health, so please don’t hesitate to reach out to our team with any questions or concerns you may have.
