What Is Restorative Dentistry?
July 3, 2013
Restorative dentistry is a branch of care that lets dentists repair decayed or damaged teeth so that patients can return to optimal oral health. Every patient, at some point, will need restorative help, even those who brush, floss, and see their dentist twice a year for checkups.
Today’s most effective, and most common, restorative dentistry services include:
Not every restorative service is right for every patient, though. Restorative dentistry is highly personal. That means that when you come to Cranbrook Dental Care for restorative help, Dr. Banda will strive to offer you the most customized care he possibly can.
Every restorative procedure begins with a consultation appointment. During your consultation, your doctor will assess your needs and then recommend a service or multiple services based on the results of that exam. Your consultation will also be a time when you can ask questions about the plan we put forward. Knowing what to expect from restorative dental care is one step in easing anxiety about your procedure.
Do you need care with restorative dentistry? Call Cranbrook Dental Care to schedule an appointment with Dr. Banda. Our office is located in Bloomfield Hills and serves Troy, Birmingham, Franklin, and the entire metropolitan Detroit area. We look forward to helping you.
Long-Term Teeth Replacement for Bloomfield Hills
May 24, 2013
Is your smile full and healthy, or do you have missing teeth that are keeping you from a lifetime of confidence and good function. At Cranbrook Dental Care in Bloomfield Hills, Dr. Banda offers long-term teeth replacement with dental implants, one of the most effective restorative services available today.
Conventional bridges and dentures can restore some amount of functionality, but they don’t mimic nature’s design. Dental implants do. They have a crown on top to replace your missing tooth, with a prosthetic root (also called an implant post) on the bottom that bonds with the jaw. With this structure, dental implants make it possible to restore the kind of strong, stable smile you once had.
Restoring a smile with dental implants is a two-phase process. In the first phase, Dr. Banda will place your implant(s) himself, using his more than 20 years of experience to guide him. Then, when your implant(s) has been placed, you’ll be given some time to heal. During this period, the implant(s), which is made from biocompatible titanium, will begin to fuse with the bone in your jaw. This is what creates the foundation for your new crown, bridge, partial, or full denture.
The second phase of your implant procedure is all about completing the work. Your custom-made restoration will be attached, completing your procedure. To have your new restoration attached, you’ll simply return to Dr. Banda’s Bloomfield Hills office. Then, with your smile fully restored, you can enjoy the good health and functionality you deserve.
But are dental implants the best long-term solution for you? Let Dr. Banda talk to you about your options. Call Cranbrook Dental Care today to reserve your consultation appointment. During your visit, Dr. Banda will talk to you about all your options and can answer any questions you might have.
Do you want to find a long-term tooth replacement option that works for you? We can help. Our Bloomfield Hills dental office serves Troy, Birmingham, Clarkston, Royal Oak, and the entire metropolitan Detroit area.
Anxiety-Free Dental Care with Sedation Dentistry
April 25, 2013
What, you might wonder, is the greatest benefit of a service like sedation dentistry? That it lets you get the important dental care you need without feeling any of the anxiety you commonly feel. Every year, many patients avoid care because of legitimate feelings of anxiety. Sometimes that anxiety is rooted in past experience and sometimes it has to do with other conditions, like a neuromuscular condition. Whatever your particular reason might be, Dr. David Banda of Cranbrook Dental Care can help with IV sedation and oral conscious sedation.
How Does Sedation Dentistry Work?
Oral conscious and IV sedation are two of the most common and effective sedation dentistry options used by patients. What’s more, they work with a wide variety of anxiety levels, from mild all the way up to severe. After talking with you about the anxiety you typically feel at his Bloomfield Hills office, Dr. Banda will recommend a way forward.
Oral conscious sedation uses a commonly prescribed medication to help patients erase feelings of fear. IV sedation is administered through a tube and is often best for oral surgery or for time-consuming procedures, allowing you to get more work done in fewer visits. But regardless of which option you choose, you’ll need a friend or family member with you to drive you home afterwards. By the next day you’ll be ready to return to your normal activities.
Have you put off care because of anxiety? Call Cranbrook Dental Care to reserve a consultation appointment. During an appointment with our Bloomfield Hills team, we can talk to you about sedation dentistry and your treatment options and devise a plan that helps you meet your needs. We serve patients from Bloomfield, Bloomfield Hills, Troy, Birmingham, and all surrounding areas.
