RECONSTRUCTIVE DENTAL CARE

If you have severe pain in your tooth or experienced a dental injury, you may need the tooth pulled. We offer tooth extractions as a part of our safe, effective reconstructive dental care to remove a tooth. We will try our best to save your tooth, but sometimes the best treatment for your oral health is to remove it. Our dentists will first take X-rays of your tooth to make an accurate diagnosis and determine if a tooth extraction is necessary. We are able to perform tooth extractions right at our Ashburn office, and we will do everything we can to make sure you are as comfortable as possible. Our team will provide you with detailed instructions following your procedure to make sure your recovery goes smoothly.

Dental crowns are custom caps designed to fit over your entire teeth in order to restore their function after damage or decay. Not only do they impair the tooth’s appearance, but they also improve your ability to chew and bite down. At Ashburn Dentistry by Design, we take a personalized approach to your reconstructive dental care and craft your dental crown to the specific contours of your tooth to ensure a perfect fit. Dental crowns typically take two short appointments at our Ashburn office. Once our dentists permanently place your dental crown, it will last for up to 15 years with excellent oral hygiene habits.

Dental bridges are a popular choice to replace a missing tooth or many missing teeth, and the process is quick and efficient. At Ashburn Dentistry by Design, we are able to tailor your dental bridge to the exact tooth shape and size you need in order to achieve a long-lasting, natural smile. Not only will you be able to achieve a beautiful smile, but these dental appliances provide a plethora of oral health benefits, too, by keeping your teeth in proper alignment, improving your digestion and allowing you to speak more clearly. There are a few different types of dental bridges, and which one will work best for you will depend on several factors including how old you are, the number of teeth you’re missing, the health of your existing teeth and gums and your personal preferences.

Dental implants are a common, efficient reconstructive dental care treatment method for achieving a complete smile free of gaps from missing teeth! These dental devices are surgically placed into your jawbone and act as the tooth’s roots in order to perform like real teeth. Through a process called osseointegration, the tiny screws fuse with the bone in your jaw over several months. Once you have fully healed, our team will place a custom-made, artificial tooth on top of the implant (most likely a crown) in order to complete its function and appearance. This type of missing teeth solution is highly successful, with The National Institutes of Health reporting that 97% of dental implants last at least 10 years.

We understand that you may feel anxious about having a root canal done, but our compassionate, knowledgeable team is here to help you feel confident about your procedure. There are many situations that may call for a root canal such as a cracked or damaged tooth, when multiple fillings have been applied to a tooth and most commonly when decay has reached the pulp of a tooth. The goal of a root canal is to save the tooth from needing to be pulled, relieve pain you may have felt from the infection and prevent any further oral health issues. Our highly-skilled dentists are proficient in performing root canals and will ensure you leave our Ashburn office with a healthy tooth!

Occlusal disease occurs when your upper and lower teeth do not fit together as they should when you bite down. It may not be something you realize right away, but our expert team is here to help you spot the signs of occlusal disease before it becomes a major problem in your oral health and overall wellness. During your routine dental exam and cleaning, one of our dentists will check your bite and examine your teeth to determine if they are experiencing any excessive wear. Your teeth may become worn down if you grind or clench your teeth, a condition known as bruxism which is common among occlusal disease patients. Some types of occlusal disease care options we offer include bite balancing, dental restorations and custom nightguards.
