Restore Your Smile

One of the most important aspects of modern dentistry is restoring and maintaining a patient’s dental health because of the role it plays in both overall physical well being and daily quality of life.

Teeth can become damaged or lost for a variety of reasons, even when a patient is diligent with their oral hygiene routine.

Addressing a damaged or missing tooth is necessary for a functional and comfortable smile- and to prevent the development of more complex dental problems down the road.

Treating Damaged Teeth

Dr. Banks will thoroughly examine a patient before recommending a plan of treatment for a tooth that has become damaged or diseased. Treatment options can include:

  • dental crowns
  • tooth bonding
  • root canal therapy

Teeth that are chipped, cracked or broken can become further damaged or lost without treatment and may make it difficult to eat and speak normally. Dr. Banks can discuss the best option(s) for restoring your smile and ensuring lasting dental health.

Replacing Missing Teeth

For patient who have lost a tooth, to teeth, for any reason, Dr.Banks stresses the benefits of prompt replacement to avoid additional dental problems and limited treatment options.
