Restorative Dentistry – Farmington, MI

Dental Crowns & Bridges

Whether a tooth has developed a large cavity, been damaged in an accident, or gone missing altogether, crowns and bridges can come to the rescue. These are two of the most commonly used restorations in all of dentistry, and at our practice, we custom-design each one so that it’s perfectly suited for every patient. In the end, no matter what your smile needs to look and feel its best, Dr. Metzger will be able to provide it, and only you and her will notice that you’ve had dental work.

Inlays & Onlays

Minor problems like small cavities can be fixed with fillings, while larger ones can be addressed with crowns. However, there is a middle ground between the two treatments: inlays and onlays. Also called “partial crowns,” they enable Dr. Metzger to repair teeth while preserving as much of their natural structure as possible. Inlays help restore the interior of a tooth, while onlays restore both the interior and the cusps (biting surfaces) of a tooth.

Tooth-Colored Fillings

A tooth-colored filling crosses the boundary between cosmetic and restorative dentistry. As the means for repairing tooth decay, it is restorative. However, because a tooth-colored filling is perfectly matched to the existing shade of your enamel, it is also cosmetic. Only you and Dr. Metzger will know that you’ve had a cavity filled when she uses a composite resin material that is both strong and natural-looking.

Dentures and Partial Dentures

For patients dealing with extensive tooth loss, dentures offer a quick and effective way to bring their smile back to its former glory. Modern-day dentures are smaller, sleeker, and more comfortable than ever. When they’re designed by Dr. Metzger, they look perfectly natural as well. Partial dentures can fill in the gaps in a patient’s smile like the missing piece of a puzzle, while full dentures can instantly replace an entire row. We can even provide patients with implant-retained dentures so they can enjoy the most secure and longest-lasting fit possible.
