RD Glass & Resin Modified Glass Ionomer Fillings in Enterprise, AL

Glass ionomer fillings are a type of dental restorative material commonly used to repair decayed teeth, fill cavities, and even replace old fillings. They’re made from a combination of glass powder and an organic acid, such as polyacrylic acid, and are known for their ability to bond chemically to tooth structure.

The two types of Glass ionomer fillings we offer are:

o  Conventional Glass Ionomer: Conventional glass ionomer fillings are self-cured and have been used for many years in dentistry. They’re suitable for various applications, including small to medium-sized cavities.

o  Resin-Modified Glass Ionomer: Resin-modified glass ionomer fillings combine the benefits of traditional glass ionomers with resin-based materials, offering improved strength and aesthetics. They’re often preferred for restorations in visible areas.

RD Dental Implants in Enterprise, AL

Dental implants are a three-step process that provide replacement teeth that look, feel and function like natural teeth. There is absolutely no better or longer lasting restoration option available beyond Implants. The first step is the initial exam and consultation to ensure that the implant procedure is right for you.  The second step of the implant process involves removal of any remaining tooth or root material and in that same visit – tiny titanium posts are placed into the jaw bone where teeth are missing. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating an incredibly strong foundation for the replacement teeth. In addition to their unmatched strength and appearance, dental implants will preserve facial structure & prevent excess bone deterioration which occurs when teeth are missing.

Dental implants are changing people’s lives! With implants, people are regaining the ability & confidence to eat, speak, laugh and enjoy life again.

What Are CEREC® Same Day Dental Crowns?

A dental crown is a protective cap covering a damaged tooth to prevent further infection. Traditional crowns require multiple visits to your dentist in Enterprise. However, CEREC same-day crowns allow patients to walk out of the dental office with a newly restored smile after the first visit.
CEREC is an acronym for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. By utilizing CEREC technology, your dentist in Enterprise can create a custom dental crown within a single visit rather than waiting on a third-party lab.

CEREC® Same Day Crowns Procedure

The CEREC same-day crown procedure starts with the dentist taking digital impressions of your teeth. A digital teeth impression is more comfortable and accurate than traditional dental putty.

Dr. Michael E. Love then uses these impressions to create a custom dental crown using our in-office 3D milling machine, before placing the dental crown, the dentist will remove the decayed parts of your tooth to prevent the spread of infection and make room for the crown. Once the crown is ready, we ensure that it fits comfortably in your mouth then safely secure it.

The result is a newly restored smile and bite with a dental crown that can last up to 15 years.

RD Dental Bridges in Enterprise, AL

A dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth. With this type of restoration, one or more neighboring teeth may be crowned and used to anchor the replacement.

Tooth replacement helps avoid shifting of surrounding teeth into gaps. If left untreated, structural changes to your mouth and jaw may occur. This can cause you difficulty with eating, speech, and other functions.

A dental bridge is custom-made to match your natural teeth in color, size, and shape. We use strong and durable materials for your restoration. With appropriate at home and professional care, your dental bridge will last for years.

RD Onlays & Inlays in Enterprise, AL

Inlays are usually needed when the cavity inside the tooth is too large and too deep. Unlike a filling that uses a composite material to fill the space, with an inlay, a solid piece of material like porcelain or ceramic is made in our laboratory to precisely fit inside the empty space. Inlays hold for a long time without shrinkage or staining.

Onlays are used to restore a larger part of the tooth. The area an onlay covers involves one or more of the cusps of your tooth, whereas, inlays and fillings cover the area inside of your tooth between the cusps.  As with inlays, onlays are very durable and match the shade of your teeth. Onlays & Inlays also don’t require removal of significant tooth structure like crowns do.

RD Full & Patial Dentures in Enterprise, AL

Dentures are removable replacements for one or more missing teeth. They are used to restore both function and aesthetics. Dentures are custom-fabricated to fit your mouth and match the appearance of your natural teeth. The fit of your dentures may be adjusted as needed to ensure comfort and proper function.

Complete dentures replace the full upper or lower set of teeth. Partial dentures are used to replace one or more teeth when some natural teeth remain. This prevents teeth from shifting into the space left by missing teeth.

You should clean your dentures regularly using a soft bristle toothbrush and a non-abrasive cleanser. Keep your regular dental appointments as recommended.  Ask Dr. Love to evaluate whether your dentures should be refit or replaced.
