Orlando, Florida General and Restorative Dentistry

General and restorative dentistry involves the diagnosis of all issues relating to the health and function of the smile, including the treatment and repair of broken, infected, or otherwise damaged teeth, gums, and tissue. General dentists serve as the primary care provider for their patients, managing their oral health care needs and coordinating treatment with specialists when necessary.

Over the course of a person’s life, the teeth will be subjected to some damage and wear and tear. Occasionally traumatic injury, a medical condition, or some other factor may be responsible for serious structural damage. In cases like these, we are able to apply the most advanced restorative techniques available to ensure that our patients can eat, talk, smile, and live their lives normally once more. We can do everything from replacing a single missing tooth to a total full-mouth implant restoration. For patients suffering from serious dental damage, the results of high-quality dental restoration truly are life-changing.

At Orange Dental Associates, a premier dental practice in Orlando, we provide caring comprehensive general and restorative dentistry to patients young and old. To learn more, contact our Orange Dental Associates today and schedule a complimentary consultation and smile review.

General and Restorative Dentistry:

Invisalign® Teeth Straightening System

Invisalign® is a revolutionary orthodontic treatment system that works to straighten teeth through the use of a series of virtually unperceivable aligners. Invisalign® clear braces eliminate the metallic smile that is characteristic of traditional orthodontic braces.

Treatment consists of a series of aligners, switched out about every two weeks. Each aligner is individually manufactured with exact calculations to gradually shift your teeth into place. And since your Invisalign® system is custom-made for your teeth and your teeth only, with a plan devised by you and your dentist or orthodontist, you know you'll end up with a smile that truly fits.

Benefits of Invisalign®

The most obvious benefit of orthodontic treatment with Invisalign® is that patients can straighten their teeth without anyone knowing. Most adults would rather live with crooked teeth than spend two or more years with unsightly metal braces.

The Invisalign® system also boasts improved hygiene over traditional braces. Because the aligners are removable, patients can brush and floss as they normally would. Food and drink choices are less restrictive, as well. If patients wish to eat sticky candy or drink soda, they can simply remove their aligners and enjoy.

Is Invisalign® for Me?

Invisalign® treatment can helps to correct a broad range of dental and orthodontic issues. Several common issues below that an experienced Invisalign® doctor can work with you to correct include:

Inlays and Onlays

Dental inlays and onlays are restorations used to repair teeth that have a moderate or significant amount of tooth structure to replace. They are often the restoration of choice when a regular resin filling would be too big but not severe enough to require a crown. The inlays and onlays can be made from porcelain, composite resin or even gold and the location and esthetic needs determine the best material to select. Cosmetically, the porcelain inlays and onlays are virtually invisible and are often used to replace old, large silver fillings for a more natural appearing smile. 

Dental Bonding

Dental bonding is one of the fastest and most pain-free methods for correcting minor dental issues such as chips, cracks, and stains, strengthening teeth while creating beautiful aesthetic results and a brilliant smile. The treatment is extremely conservative of natural tooth structure, and it can even be used to reshape teeth that are misaligned or overly small.

Dentures

Our general and restorative dentistry practice provides dentures for patients in the greater Orlando area that are missing most or all of their teeth.  If you have experienced loss of your natural teeth from periodontal disease, tooth decay, or injury it can often be uncomfortable and embarrassing. Complete dentures, also called full dentures, can provide a lasting, comfortable solution. Your appearance and your health will benefit from replacing missing teeth. Without support from the denture, facial muscles sag, making a person look older. Dentures are made of durable materials resulting in a natural smile and can last for years when cared for properly. Even if you wear full dentures, you must take good care of your mouth. Brush your gums, tongue and palate every morning with a soft-bristled brush before you insert your dentures to stimulate circulation in your tissues and help remove plaque.

Dental Bridges

Dental bridges anchor artificial teeth in the gaps left by missing teeth. Because leaving gaps unfilled can lead to shifting of the surrounding teeth, diminished chewing and speaking ability, and other problems, it is important to replace missing teeth as soon as possible. Dental bridges can be an effective solution since they look and feel natural, improve chewing and speaking, ease stress on the bite, and support facial bone structure. They are relatively inexpensive, and the placement process is noninvasive, making dental bridges a popular choice many of our Orlando, Florida patients.

Laser Dentistry

Laser dentistry is the latest advancement in dental technology, treating a wide range of dental and cosmetic problems from cavities to gum disease to teeth whitening. A special beam of light—or laser—is directed onto the problem areas, correcting decayed teeth, enamel, and gums. Many such lasers have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration Approval (FDA) and are safe for adults and children alike.
