Tooth-Colored Fillings

Tooth decay can eat away at your tooth’s structure and often leave holes and crevices behind, known as cavities. If your teeth are affected by decay, we can safely remove them and treat your tooth with a composite resin.

Our tooth-colored dental fillings help reshape the damaged areas so we can restore the tooth’s health, functionality, and overall appearance. We’ll carefully match the shade of resin to your tooth’s color so that it blends in seamlessly with your smile.

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are dental restorations, also known as caps, made of porcelain and shaped to look exactly like a natural tooth. We’ll place a crown on top of a damaged tooth or we’ll use it to complete a dental implant treatment.

Dental crowns are a versatile, high-quality restorative solution for treating everything from cracked, chipped, broken, and discolored teeth to weak, infected, or missing teeth.

Dental Bridges

Bridges are a cost-effective way to replace a single missing tooth or multiple missing teeth in a row. A traditional dental bridge consists of at least one false tooth held in place by crowns attached to the teeth on either side of the gap, called abutment teeth.

If several adjacent teeth are missing, a bridge secured to dental implants, also called an implant-supported bridge, might be the best option. Whichever type of bridge you choose, Dr. Chirco will ensure that it feels comfortable, looks great, and restores your dental health.

Full & Partial Dentures

Dentures are a great restorative treatment to replace a partial or complete arch of teeth. Our dentures have natural-looking, gum-colored bases with false teeth attached to help enhance your appearance.

Depending on your specific needs, we can design your dentures to fit snugly onto the gum line or snap them onto four to eight dental implants. Dentures are handcrafted to look, feel, and function like natural teeth so you can smile with confidence, eat your favorite foods, and speak with ease.

Start-to-Finish Dental Implants

Dr. Chirco is a certified implant dentist and can perform the entire dental implant process at our Warren office. We can completely restore your smile without having to refer you out to another dentist, making your overall treatment quicker and more convenient.

Dental implants are small posts that integrate into the jawbone where missing teeth used to reside. They act as replacement tooth roots and provide a stable support base as they fuse directly with your bone to stimulate growth. We’ll finish each implant procedure by attaching a natural-looking dental restoration such as a crown or denture set.

Root Canal Therapy

If your teeth are severely damaged or infected, we use root canal therapy to save them and prevent the need for an extraction down the road. While root canal therapy may sound intimidating, it’s nothing to fear.

Our restorative root canal procedure removes the infected pulp from the tooth and protects it from future harm. Completed with a dental crown, your tooth won’t be in pain anymore and will have improved health and functionality.

Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom teeth are the third and final set of molars that erupt between the ages of 15 to 25. While some people have no issues with their wisdom teeth, most encounter some form of disruption when they grow in.

Wisdom teeth are known to cause a variety of dental issues such as crowding existing teeth, getting stuck under the gums, or coming in at dysfunctional angles. Dr. Chirco can gently remove your wisdom teeth in one easy visit to our office to preserve your dental health.

Frequently Asked Questions

Restorative dentistry is necessary to repair structural problems to your teeth such as damaged or missing teeth. Restorative procedures include dentures, crowns, bridges, fillings, dental implants, and tooth extractions.

Here at Warren Family Dentistry, we encourage patients to receive restorative treatment to restore their teeth, improve function, and enhance their overall appearance. Restoring cracked or decayed teeth will prevent further infection or damage and the need for complex procedures in the future.

Generally, our composite filling can last up to 15 years with good oral hygiene and bi-annual visits to Warren Family Dentistry.

The entire life expectancy of your filling will depend on the size and location of it, as well as your eating habits. Fillings may need to be replaced over time after general wear or excessive grinding, clenching, signs of decay, chipping, and cracking.

After a wisdom tooth extraction, it can take anywhere from six to eight weeks for your gums to heal before you can get fitted for dentures.

Dr. Chirco wants to allow enough time for the swelling to dissipate so your new dentures will properly fit. This will help ensure your new set of teeth will be comfortable and last longer.

Yes, you can still get dental implants even if you suffer from gum disease. To receive this restorative treatment, Dr. Chirco will have you undergo a supplemental procedure to restore the health of your gums before starting the dental implant process.

Once your gums are healthy, you can expect a successful dental implant that lasts a lifetime and boosts your overall health and happiness.

Which Restorative Procedure Is Right For You?

Depending on your smile and individual needs, our Warren dental team will help discover which restorative treatment is best for you. During your initial consultation, Dr. Chirco will examine your teeth, gums, and jaw to determine your candidacy for our procedures.
