Conditions We Treat
Worn, Broken, or Missing Teeth
Your teeth work together as a complete system. When one tooth becomes worn, cracked, or missing, it can change the way you chew, affect your bite, increase stress on neighboring teeth, and even contribute to jaw pain or headaches. At Advanced Dentistry and Aesthetics, we look beyond the damaged tooth to understand how your entire smile functions. Our goal is to restore strength, comfort, and long-term oral health while creating natural-looking results you'll feel confident sharing.
Restoring More Than Just Teeth
Whether your tooth was damaged by an accident, grinding, decay, or years of everyday wear, simply repairing the tooth isn't always enough. Dr. Peterson carefully evaluates how your bite, jaw function, muscles, and airway may have contributed to the problem before recommending treatment. Your evaluation may include:
- Comprehensive dental examination
- Bite analysis and occlusal evaluation
- Digital imaging and photography
- Assessment of tooth wear, grinding patterns, and pain
- Airway and functional screening of jaw alignment, muscles and TMJoint
Understanding the "why" behind the damage helps us create restorations that are designed to last.
Personalized Treatment Options
Every smile is unique, which is why every treatment plan is tailored to your individual needs. Depending on your diagnosis, treatment may include:
- Tooth-colored fillings and bonded restorations
- Porcelain crowns and veneers
- Dental bridges
- Dental implants
- Full-mouth rehabilitation
- Bite adjustments to improve long-term function
- Custom bite appliances to protect restorations
- Expansion or Mandibular Advancement therapy when airway concerns contribute to excessive wear
By treating both the damaged teeth and the underlying causes, we can often improve the longevity of your restorations while protecting your overall oral health.
A Comprehensive Approach to Lasting Results
Many patients don't realize that worn or broken teeth are often symptoms of a larger issue. Chronic grinding, bite imbalances, TMJ dysfunction, and airway-related sleep disorders can all place excessive stress on your teeth. Rather than simply replacing what's been lost, Dr. Peterson develops treatment plans that restore proper function throughout the entire mouth. This comprehensive approach helps reduce future wear, improves comfort while chewing, improves breathing, and supports healthier jaw function for years to come.
What to Expect
We'll begin with a thorough consultation to understand your concerns, evaluate your oral health, and discuss your goals. From there, we'll create a personalized treatment plan that clearly explains each phase of care, expected timelines, and available treatment options. Whether you're restoring a single tooth or rebuilding your entire smile, our focus remains the same: conservative treatment whenever possible, exceptional attention to detail, and results that feel as good as they look.
