Restorative Dental Care
Dental Fillings
Tooth decay is a bacterial infection that expands further into teeth until it’s treated by a dentist. If you have a small cavity, early intervention with a dental filling may be all you need to restore the affected area and prevent further damage. At Embrey Dental, we use tooth-colored fillings made of composite resin, which blend seamlessly with your natural teeth while also providing durability and strength.
Protective Crowns
If your tooth is severely decayed, damaged, or received a root canal, a dental crown is almost always recommended. A crown is a custom-made shell that covers the entire tooth, restoring its function, strength, and aesthetics. At Embrey Dental, we use porcelain crowns that mimic the natural color and translucency of your teeth, providing strong yet attractive results.
Dental Bridges
Bridges are traditional restorations used to replace one or two missing teeth, “bridging” the gap in your smile. A bridge consists of a pontic (artificial tooth) suspended between two crowns, each of which fits over the adjacent teeth. At Embrey Dental, we offer both traditional and implant-supported bridges, depending on your needs, preferences, and how many teeth are missing.
Root Canals (Endodontic Treatment)
If you have an abscessed or dying tooth, a root canal is the final option available to avoid an extraction. Dr. Lim uses the latest techniques and tools to make the root canal treatment as comfortable as possible.
Full, Partial, and Snap-On Dentures
At Embrey Dental, we offer custom-made full and partial dentures that fit securely and comfortably while also enhancing your facial aesthetics and overall quality of life. Overdenture options that “snap” onto dental implants are also available.
Inlays and Onlays
Sometimes called indirect fillings or three-quarter crowns, these custom-made dental restorations offer extra reinforcement than a typical dental filling. Onlays are designed to fit over the cusps of back teeth, while inlays fill in a larger portion inside of your tooth structure. They are used to repair teeth that have been damaged by large areas of decay but do not require complete coverage with a crown.
Extractions
We always strive to save your natural teeth, but there are some cases where a dental extraction is necessary. Dr. Lim will make sure that you are comfortable throughout the procedure. We will also work with you to create a treatment plan to replace your tooth as quickly as possible.
