Dental Restoration in Vancouver for Damaged or Missing Teeth

When the teeth are damaged, worn, or missing, it can have an effect on things other than your smile. Eating, speaking, and everyday comfort often change as well. At the Lacamas Dental & Cosmetic Center, we practice dental restorations in Vancouver, WA, with a comprehensive and systematic process aimed at regaining functionality while rebuilding a more natural appearance.

Reconstructive dentistry offered in our Vancouver practice is designed for patients who require more than a simple filling or cosmetic correction. This could be from trauma, decay, wear and tear, or missing teeth. The result we are working towards is to provide you with solutions that are both stable and long-lasting.

Solutions for Broken, Worn, or Severely Damaged Teeth 

In many cases, severe tooth damage can take time to develop and may not be immediately noticeable. Reconstructive dentistry involves solving cosmetic and functional problems to ensure oral health over time. Personalized treatment options depend on your individual requirements and dental situations.

Reconstructive solutions may be recommended if you’re experiencing:

  • Broken or fractured teeth that make chewing difficult
  • Worn-down teeth due to grinding or erosion
  • Missing teeth or failing restorations
  • Prolonged discomfort or bite imbalance
  • Severe tooth damage that affects functional ability

Reconstructive Dentistry Focused on Function and Comfort 

While cosmetic dentistry focuses solely on the aesthetics of the oral function, reconstructive dentistry attaches great importance to the function of your teeth. When it comes to reconstructive dentistry, our reconstructive dentist in Vancouver, Dr. Thomas Backus, assesses the bite of the teeth, jaw relationship, and the existing tooth structure before embarking on treatment. When it comes to complex reconstructive dentistry, care may involve a prosthodontist in Vancouver to support advanced restorative needs.

Based on your circumstances, dental rehabilitation services may consist of a combination of reconstructive dental procedures such as crowns, bridges, dentures, or more as needed in order to rebuild strength in your smile.
