Services: Restorative Dentistry

Feel proud of your full, natural looking smile once again!  A dental implant is one of the most permanent forms of restorative dentistry and can restore a single tooth or an entire set of teeth. Dental implants involve the placement of a surgical grade titanium post directly into your jawbone by one of Dr. Norman’s trusted specialists. As the bone bonds to the post, it forms a sound foundation to attach your custom crown, bridge, or denture.  With the solid fit, enjoy a full, functional smile free of problems associated with traditional dentures!

Experience a comfortable alternative to traditional dentures!  Enjoy an implant supported denture’s solid fit, eliminating common problems like gum sores, shifting, difficulty speaking, dental adhesives and difficulty chewing.  Implant supported dentures help distribute your bite pressure more like your natural teeth than with traditional dentures, stimulating the supportive structures of your teeth and preventing the bone and soft tissues from shrinking away. Your overall appearance and smile’s function are preserved, if not greatly improved!  If needed, replace an entire set of teeth with beautiful, natural-looking implants.

Tooth loss can decrease your confidence and wear down your appearance.  Get back your confident inner-self with dentures.  With the most advanced removable dentures, your smile looks and feels just as it did years ago – maybe even better!  We will guide you every step of the way, ensuring the most secure fit for you.  Work with our team to select the shade and shape of your custom created denture. 

Enjoy a natural looking way to restore your smile to its youthful appearance and function.  Let a partial denture restore gaps in your smile due to your missing teeth that cannot be corrected by a bridge. Your partial denture will be removable and made from a synthetic material supported by lightweight metal that mimics your gum tissue and teeth, giving you a beautiful new smile. The partial denture preserves your bone structure and the integrity of your existing teeth by preventing them from shifting and tilting in towards the gaps created by your missing teeth.

Even with the most cautious preventive care, your teeth undergo a tremendous amount of stress during your lifetime. Your smile shows this strain in a variety of ways including discoloration, chipping and cracking. Crowns heal problems that may have surfaced and restore your smile to peak brilliance! Crowns can be made out of porcelain fused to metal, all porcelain or all precious metal.  After some tooth preparation, crowns are custom fitted to give you a beautiful, smile that functions faultlessly!

Missing teeth seriously impact the rest of your smile, as well as your confidence.  You begin to chew differently, experience mouth pain and find additional gaps and spaces as your remaining teeth work to compensate for your smile’s loss.  Don’t settle for a smile that continues to deteriorate.  Solve the problem and regain your smile’s brilliance with a dental bridge.  A bridge, custom designed by Dr. Norman, keeps your smile aligned and your bite functional. Bridges are anchored to existing teeth or crowns on either side of the missing tooth. They are semi-permanent, meaning they can only be affixed or removed by a dentist and are a long-term restorative solution to your damaged smile.

Sometimes effectively removing all tooth decay requires removing a portion of your tooth as well. Dr. Norman custom creates a porcelain inlay or onlay to fill the space left when part of your tooth must be removed. Porcelain-milled inlays and onlays beautifully indistinguishable from natural teeth and provide you relief from possible chewing pain, cavity pain and tooth deterioration.
