Our Approach to Restorative Dentistry
At Fulton Family Dental, we take a thoughtful approach to restoring your oral health. That means understanding what’s going on beneath the surface, considering the best long-term outcome, and making sure you feel comfortable with every decision along the way. We focus on restoring full function, not just appearance. Using strong, natural-looking materials and careful planning, we’ll rebuild your smile in a way that suits your lifestyle, budget, and goals.
Dental Crowns
A dental crown is used to cover and protect a tooth that’s weak, cracked, heavily filled, or worn down. It restores strength and shape while blending in with your natural teeth. At Fulton Family Dental, we use digital impressions, avoiding traditional putty trays. Our crowns are made from zirconia or e.max. Both of these materials are well known for their durability and natural-looking appearance.
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is used to fill the gap left by one or more missing teeth. It’s anchored to the natural teeth on either side, with a prosthetic tooth in between. Bridges restore chewing ability, prevent teeth from shifting, and help maintain your bite. In some cases, a bridge might be a better choice than an implant or partial denture. Our team will explain your options and ensure the final result feels comfortable and natural. Bridges are custom-made using tooth-colored prosthetics that blend in with your existing smile.
Dentures
If you’ve lost several or all of your teeth, dentures can help restore function and appearance. We offer both partial and full dentures, depending on your needs. Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. Full dentures replace all teeth in the upper or lower arch. At Fulton Family Dental, we take the time to get the fit right and guide you through the adjustment process. We know that getting dentures can feel like a big step. We’re here to make sure you feel supported every step of the way.
Implant-Supported Dentures (Overdentures)
Overdentures are dentures that clip onto dental implants placed in the jaw, giving you more stability and confidence while eating or speaking. They’re often used when traditional dentures feel loose or uncomfortable. We refer to them as overdentures at our practice. You can remove them for cleaning, but they are a secure option throughout the day. The team at Fulton Family Dental works closely with a trusted oral surgeon to coordinate your care. The implants themselves are placed by a specialist, while the final restoration, the overdenture is custom-crafted and maintained right here in our office.
Permanent restorations coordinated with a trusted surgeon
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a long-lasting option for replacing one or more missing teeth. The implant post itself is placed by a trusted and experienced oral surgeon and coordinated closely with our office. Once healing is complete, your dentist at Fulton Family Dental will provide the final restoration, whether that’s a crown, bridge, or denture.
We use digital impressions and work closely with the surgical team to make sure every step of the implant process goes smoothly. If you’re considering dental implants, our team will explain the entire process to you, from the initial consult to your final restoration. It’s a team-based approach that gives you the best possible outcome.
