Restorative Dentistry in Washington DC
Restorative dentistry is the science and art of dental restoration, which can include many treatment options depending on the type of disease or damage your teeth and gums have sustained. Dr. Ardekani’s understanding of both the function and aesthetics of restoration ensures your dental restorations, whether a simple filling or a complete treatment plan for periodontal disease.
Emergency Dental Care
Dental emergencies can be life-threatening. They are often painful and may cause excessive bleeding. If you have a dental emergency, including a knocked out or broken tooth, severe pain, or infection, contact our office as soon as possible for emergency dental care. Early intervention is essential to recovery and successful restoration.
Dental Fillings
Dental fillings are restorations that seal or cover a damaged tooth after removing any decay or infection. We use metal-free composite resins, which offer superior fit and a natural look that matches your teeth. If you have amalgam fillings, we can remove them and replace them with resin fillings.
Dental Crowns
For teeth too damaged for fillings, dental crowns are a solution. These are caps that look and feel like your natural teeth. They fit snugly over the damaged tooth and are cemented into place. Crowns are also used to protect teeth with hairline cracks and prevent additional damage.
Dental Bridges
Dental bridges are replacement teeth attached to adjacent natural teeth using wires or clips. We offer both fixed and removable bridges to our patients to restore the missing teeth and full functionality, including the ability to chew, speak, and smile confidently.
Gum Disease Treatment
Gum disease is one of the most common reasons for tooth loss due to infection, inflammation, and recession of the gums. We treat all levels of periodontal disease with appropriate treatments, including scaling and root planing, deep pocket cleaning, laser cleaning, and medications such as Arestin. We create a customized gum disease treatment plan for each patient, taking into account their health history and the disease’s progression.
Dentures
Dentures are the most common dental restoration for patients with multiple missing teeth. Dr. Ardekani consults with each patient to determine what type of denture is appropriate for their lifestyle and budget. Various denture options are available at DC Pearls Dental Boutique, including partial dentures, fixed dentures, immediate dentures, implant dentures, and removable dentures.
Root Canal Therapy
Removing the pulp from the center of a damaged or infected tooth is often the only way to salvage the tooth. Dr. Ardekani has performed root canals on patients of all ages, deep cleaning the channel after removing the pulp to prevent reinfection. Today’s root canal therapy is not painful and can prevent the need for tooth extraction. In any situation, we always aim to save the tooth when possible.
Inlays and Onlays
Teeth treated with an inlay or only are stronger than before, ensuring years of comfortable eating and a beautiful smile. Teeth with severe damage or that need a filling removed may benefit from inlays or onlays, which seal tightly to prevent infection or bacteria from getting beneath the inlay or onlay. These dental restorations are created in a lab and secured with dental cement by Dr. Ardekani.
Amalgam Filling Replacement
Amalgam dental fillings contain mercury, a compound linked to some forms of illness. Although amalgam fillings have been used for years, they are rapidly being replaced by composite resin fillings. Unfortunately, because amalgam fillings expand and contract, they can cause cracks in the teeth and become loose, contributing to reinfection of the tooth. At DC Pearls Dental Boutique, we routinely replace old amalgam fillings with the latest in resin composite fillings or onlays.
