\n\tRepairing missing, broken, or damaged teeth<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\t\"\"Restorative Dentistry, performed by Dr. Matt VanderMolen, focuses on repairing teeth that are missing or have become damaged or broken. The purpose of restorative dentistry is to bring the teeth back to a healthier condition while at the same time, also improving the smile<\/strong>. There are many procedures offered by Advanced Dental Care of Springfield that qualify as restorative dentistry and two of the most popular  cosmetic dental procedures<\/a><\/u> include dental implants and dental crowns.<\/p>\n

\n\tDental implants<\/a><\/u> are permanent, artificial teeth that are made to look and function exactly like a natural tooth. The implants are anchored directly onto the jawbone to ensure they are sturdy and strong. Dr. VanderMolen<\/a><\/u> will carefully examine the teeth to determine if a patient is a good candidate for dental implants and he will then customize the implants for each individual patient. The end result is ultimately healthier gums, teeth, and a beautiful smile to be proud of.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tDental crowns are used to repair teeth that have been damaged but are not missing. A dental crown<\/a><\/u> is used to replace cracked or damaged teeth and is designed to match the color of the natural tooth. The crown is placed over the tooth with cement to ensure longevity and strength. Dental crowns can be easily placed onto the teeth and will instantly improve their appearance and the strength. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tTo restore your natural teeth and improve your smile, contact Advanced Dental Care<\/a><\/u> at (217) 546-3333 to discuss the Restorative Dentistry procedures<\/a><\/u> that are right for you. Come see us today and be on the way to the beautiful smile you have been longing for.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
