Restorative Dentistry For Children
Restorative dentistry is not only for adults it’s also available for kids. If your child, whether in elementary school or a teenager, damages a permanent tooth, it's important to act quickly. Permanent teeth are the only set they'll ever have, so if they’re injured during sports or play, give us a call. At Khanani Family Dental, we can restore their tooth using various methods, and the sooner we treat it, the better. Quick intervention reduces the risk of infection or further damage.
For younger children, we often recommend a bonding procedure. It’s quick, non-invasive, and painless. A tooth-colored material is applied, shaped to match the tooth, and hardened with a dental light. The result is a natural-looking restoration in just one visit. However, as your child’s teeth continue to grow, the restored tooth may appear shorter and may need a touch-up when they become an adult.
If anyone in your family has a damaged tooth, call us at (508) 829-4575, and we’ll restore it to full functionality.
Restorative Dentistry For Seniors
At Khanani Family Dental, we proudly serve seniors throughout the Oakham area. Many seniors mistakenly believe tooth loss is inevitable and avoid seeking restoration when their teeth become damaged or infected. However, preserving your natural teeth is crucial whenever possible. Restorative dentistry plays a vital role in maintaining the health of your mouth and jaw, especially as we age. Bone loss is a common concern for seniors, particularly women, and its severity is influenced by health history, diet, and physical activity. As bone loss progresses, it can lead to increased risk of fractures, loss of height, and changes in appearance—especially to the face. Your natural teeth help stimulate the jawbone, and each time you chew, your jawbone is supported. Without teeth, the body may stop supporting the jawbone in that area, leading to resorption, where calcium is taken from the jawbone and redistributed elsewhere. This can result in a sunken facial appearance.
By saving your natural teeth through restorative dentistry, we not only preserve your tooth but also maintain the health of your jawbone and facial structure. If you’re a senior in Oakham, don’t wait to address any signs of damage or infection. Call us at the first sign of trouble so we can help restore your teeth and protect your overall health and appearance.
Restorative Dentistry For The Whole Family
At Khanani Family Dental, we treat patients of all ages, from children to seniors. We’ve found that many seniors assume tooth loss is inevitable and avoid restorative treatment when their teeth become damaged or infected. This is a misconception. We always recommend saving your natural teeth whenever possible.
Restorative dentistry is essential for maintaining the health of your mouth and jaw, especially for seniors. Bone loss, which is common in older adults—particularly women—can vary depending on a person's health, diet, and physical activity levels. As bone density decreases, it can lead to an increased risk of fractures, a loss of height, and changes to your facial appearance. Your natural teeth play a key role in stimulating the jawbone, and every time you chew, the bone is supported. Without teeth, the body may stop supporting the jaw in that area, leading to bone resorption, where calcium is redirected to other parts of the body. This can result in a sunken appearance.
By preserving your natural teeth through restorative dentistry, we not only save the tooth but also protect the health of your jawbone and facial structure. If you’re a senior in Oakham, don’t wait to address any signs of damage or infection. Call us as soon as possible so we can help restore your teeth and maintain your overall health and appearance.
Immediate Restorations
If you've damaged a tooth and need quick restoration, immediate dental solutions are available. One of the fastest options we offer is dental bonding, which can be completed in a single visit. However, this may not be the ideal solution for everyone. We also provide dental veneers and crowns to restore damaged teeth.
A veneer is a thin shell applied to the front of your tooth, designed to correct chips or cracks. A crown, on the other hand, covers the entire tooth like a cap and is better suited for more significant damage or enamel loss. Both veneers and crowns typically require two visits to our office. During your first visit, we will place a temporary veneer or crown to restore your smile and allow you to eat soft foods comfortably. On your second visit, we’ll fit your permanent restoration, so you can enjoy all types of food without discomfort. This two-step process ensures that both a temporary and long-lasting solution are in place for your damaged tooth.
Natural Restorative Solutions For Your Teeth
At Khanani Family Dental, we specialize in restorative dentistry that looks as natural as your own teeth. Whether you're dealing with a damaged or infected tooth, we use a range of tooth-colored materials that can be perfectly matched to the shade of your surrounding teeth. This ensures that your restoration blends seamlessly with your smile. Whether you need a filling, bonding, veneer, crown, bridge, or implant, we are committed to providing results that are indistinguishable from your natural teeth, so you can smile with confidence.
How Long Will My Restorations Last?
At Khanani Family Dental, we work with patients throughout the Oakham area and find that dental restorations can last anywhere from five years to a lifetime. The longevity of your restoration largely depends on how well it is cared for. Just like natural teeth, restored teeth require regular brushing, flossing, and protection from things like chewing on hard objects or grinding. By maintaining these habits and attending routine dental checkups, your restoration can last for 20 years or more.
