Our restorative dentistry treatments
Restorative dentistry requires skill, precision, and a clear understanding of what your teeth need. At Compass Dental, we combine both to deliver results that endure.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are used to restore teeth that are weakened, damaged, or worn down. A crown covers the entire tooth, protecting it while restoring strength, shape, and appearance. At Compass Dental, Dr. Fana uses the best materials to create seamless, life-like crowns that match your natural teeth for a comfortable, realistic look. This treatment helps preserve your existing tooth while preventing further damage.
Dental Bridges
Dental bridges replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to surrounding teeth for support. Unlike removable options, bridges are permanently fixed in place, helping restore your bite, prevent nearby teeth from shifting, and improve the appearance of your smile. Each bridge is carefully crafted to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. With proper care, bridges can provide a reliable, long-term solution.
Dental Fillings
Dental fillings repair teeth affected by cavities or minor damage. Using modern, tooth-colored materials, fillings restore strength while maintaining a natural appearance. This treatment helps stop decay from progressing and protects your tooth from further issues. Our team prioritizes precision and comfort throughout the process.
Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy treats infection or damage inside a tooth while preserving the natural structure. During treatment, infected tissue is removed and the tooth is cleaned and sealed to relieve pain and prevent extraction. When paired with a crown, the treated tooth can continue to function comfortably.
Tooth Extractions
Tooth extractions are recommended when a tooth cannot be saved due to severe damage or infection. Removing the tooth helps relieve discomfort and prevent further oral health complications. Dr. Fana uses gentle techniques and clear communication to prioritize comfort. Replacement options are discussed when appropriate to maintain function and appearance.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a long-lasting solution for replacing one or multiple missing teeth. An implant provides a stable foundation for a custom restoration that looks and functions like a natural tooth. This option helps preserve jawbone health and prevent shifting of surrounding teeth. Implants offer durability, comfort, and natural-looking results.
Dentures
Dentures replace multiple missing teeth to restore your smile and oral function. Modern dentures are designed for improved comfort, fit, and appearance. They help support facial structure and make eating and speaking easier. At Compass Dental, dentures are customized to fit your lifestyle and needs.
