Restoring the strength, function, and look of a damaged or missing tooth.
A damaged, worn, or missing tooth can affect more than how your smile looks. It can change how you chew, how your bite feels, and how confident you are day to day. Dr. Graham offers restorative options tailored to your situation, so the fix holds up over time.
Every restoration is planned around your own bite and teeth, not a generic mold, so the result feels natural rather than obviously artificial.
Digital X-rays and CBCT imaging give Dr. Graham a clear picture of what's actually needed before recommending any specific treatment.
A crown covers and protects a tooth weakened by decay, a large filling, or a crack, restoring its strength without removing the tooth entirely. It fits over what remains of your natural tooth, so you keep the root and structure underneath rather than starting over with something artificial. Dr. Graham will evaluate whether a crown is the right choice for your specific tooth, taking into account how much natural structure remains. He’ll walk you through what to expect before moving forward, from the fitting process to how long the crown should hold up.
A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a replacement tooth to the natural teeth on either side of the gap. It’s a fixed option, meaning it stays in place rather than coming out, which some patients prefer over a removable alternative. Because a bridge relies on your existing teeth for support, Dr. Graham will first evaluate whether those surrounding teeth are healthy enough to hold up under the added support. If they are, he’ll walk you through the fitting process and what to expect once it’s in place.
For patients missing several or all of their teeth, dentures offer a removable option that restores both function and appearance. Depending on your situation, that might mean replacing a full arch or just a handful of teeth, and Dr. Graham will help you decide which approach best fits your needs. He’ll also talk through what daily care looks like once you have them, since dentures require a different routine than natural teeth. The goal is a fit that feels secure and comfortable, not something you have to think about all day.
