restorative dentistry Gaithersburg, MD Restorative Dentistry means restoring native teeth that have decay, chips, or breaks. This can include crowns, bridges and implants, as well as repairs or replacements of crowns, bridges and implants. Our office is equipped and ready for unwanted dental surprises; cavities and broken teeth can happen to patients of all ages. We take pride in working to get these dental emergencies in quickly, sometimes in the same day.

One of our favorite pieces of equipment is our chairside “crown machine.” We scan the broken tooth so the doctor can use Computer Aided Design to design a crown with precise fit and color match. Then, a state-of-the-art robotic CNC mill turns a ceramic block into the new crown which we bond in place for many years of trouble-free chewing! No gagging on impression material, no temporary crown, no wait. You can have a brand new tooth in 3 hours!

When you have missing teeth, an alternative solution to dentures is dental implants. While dentures are removable, dental implants provide permanent new teeth to restore your mouth’s function and appearance. Dental implants tend to offer a successful and lasting solution to the loss of some or all of your teeth.

When a tooth or two are missing, a bridge can be made that connects the nearby teeth and ‘bridges’ the gap with a new tooth. This is a long term, strong, and stable option that takes only 2 visits and 2 weeks to make and does not require surgery. Today’s materials look very natural and are very strong. Bridges do, however, require the support teeth to be modified to allow the bridge to connect.

Sometimes the nerve inside a tooth becomes compromised and infected. This can often be very painful and cause swelling and even a systemic infection. Root canals remove the dead nerve and seal the tooth up, which preserves the tooth for many years.

At Schneider Family Dentistry, we provide implant restoration services when they’re necessary.

These checks are in an effort to keep you healthy and catch any problems with the implants.

When you receive implants, we will guide you on how best to take care of them. This will help you minimize problems and be aware if any present themselves. If you think there is an issue with your current implants, please let us know so we can check them.

Bridges

When your teeth are missing, it greatly affects your smile. At the same time, the missing tooth has the potential to negatively affect your oral hygiene because of unprotected gum exposure. Dental bridges are one of many options aimed at improving the appearance and function of your teeth by replacing the missing tooth or teeth. During your exam, we will discuss whether or not dental bridges are right for you.

Root Canals Gaithersburg, MD

Root Canals

Root canals are needed when decay and bacteria spread for too long without treatment. At a certain point, this decay makes it to the pulp inside the tooth. This pulp includes nerves, therefore infection generally causes a lot of pain. Since this is happening on the inside of the tooth, you won’t necessarily see the damage. Instead, you could feel it through pain and notice other signs that include bleeding, swelling and bad breath.
