Restorative dentistry is about more than fixing damaged teeth.
It’s about restoring your ability to eat comfortably, speak clearly, and smile with confidence. At Legacy Dentistry in Midlothian, TX, we provide comprehensive restorative care that combines advanced technology with personalized treatment to give you lasting results.
Whether you need a simple filling or a complete restoration, we approach every case with the same goal: preserve as much of your natural tooth structure as possible while delivering results that look great and function perfectly.
Restoring Damaged Teeth
When teeth are damaged by decay, trauma, or wear, restorative treatment repairs the damage and prevents further problems. Untreated dental issues only get worse over time, leading to more complex and expensive treatment.
We evaluate the extent of the damage and recommend the most conservative treatment that will restore your tooth’s strength and function. Our goal is always to save your natural teeth whenever possible.
Natural-Looking Tooth-Colored Fillings
We use tooth-colored composite resin for all our fillings, ensuring your dental work is virtually invisible. Composite fillings bond directly to your tooth structure, which means we preserve more of your natural tooth than with traditional metal fillings.
Composite fillings are strong, durable, and blend seamlessly with your smile. We carefully match the filling material to the exact shade of your tooth so the restoration is undetectable.
Whether you need a new filling or want to replace old metal fillings with tooth-colored restorations, we’ll make sure your results look natural and feel comfortable.
Crowns That Protect & Strengthen
Dental crowns cover and protect damaged teeth, restoring their strength and appearance. Crowns are ideal for teeth with large cavities, cracks, extensive wear, or those that have undergone root canal treatment.
We create custom crowns from high-quality materials that match your natural teeth in color and translucency. The result is a restoration that blends seamlessly with your smile while providing the protection your tooth needs.
Modern crowns are incredibly durable and can last 15 to 25 years or longer with proper care. They allow you to chew comfortably and confidently without worrying about further damage.
Bridges For Missing Teeth
Dental bridges replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to the teeth on either side of the gap. Bridges restore your ability to chew comfortably, prevent remaining teeth from shifting, and maintain proper bite alignment.
We design custom bridges that look natural and function like your own teeth. With proper care, bridges can last 10 to 15 years or longer.
Bridges are an excellent option when you want a fixed solution for missing teeth and the adjacent teeth already have large fillings or need crowns.
Dentures & Partial Solutions
For patients missing multiple teeth, dentures and partial dentures offer a functional, affordable solution. Full dentures replace all the teeth in an arch, while partial dentures fill in gaps when some natural teeth remain.
We create custom dentures that fit comfortably and look natural. Modern dentures are more comfortable and lifelike than ever before, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
For improved stability, we also offer implant-supported dentures that attach to dental implants for superior retention and function.
Restoring Your Bite
Restorative dentistry isn’t just about individual teeth. It’s about creating a healthy, functional bite that distributes chewing forces evenly and prevents strain on your jaw joints.
We evaluate your entire bite when planning restorative treatment to ensure everything works together harmoniously. A balanced bite means more comfortable chewing, less wear on your teeth, and better long-term oral health.
Proper bite alignment also reduces the risk of TMJ disorders, headaches, and chronic jaw pain.
Long-Term Care For Restored Teeth
With proper care, most restorations can last 10 to 20 years or longer.
To protect your restorations:
- Brush and floss daily
- Avoid chewing ice or hard objects
- Wear a nightguard if you grind your teeth
- Visit us regularly for checkups and cleanings
- Don’t use your teeth as tools
During routine visits, we’ll examine your restorations to make sure they’re holding up well and address any issues early. Catching small problems before they become big ones helps your restorations last as long as possible.
