Restorative dentistry addresses dental health concerns that affect the structure and function of the teeth and gums. Dr. Georgia Haddad has over 15 years of experience handling complex restorative cases. Using the latest advancements in modern dental technology Beach Cities Dental Group helps patients restore the health of their teeth and gums so that they may enjoy a better quality of life. Dr. Haddad offers restorative dentistry in Oxnard, CA, for patients with missing teeth or for patients with damaged teeth.

Addressing minor oral health concerns as soon as possible can help patients avoid the need for complex restorative procedures. Small chips and cracks are more susceptible to infection or decay and left untreated may require removal.

Missing teeth can cause teeth to shift, bone to deteriorate, and increase the risk of developing gum disease. Dr. Haddad encourages patients to seek treatment for dental health concerns as soon as possible to protect against further damage. We offer treatment for various dental concerns, including:

Dental implants

We use dental implants to replace missing teeth and restore the function of your teeth. They offer the best solution for patients with tooth loss. An implant restoration has three parts: a titanium implant fixture, an abutment, and a dental restoration.

The implant fixture is placed in the jaw bone, where it will fuse to the bone. This creates a sturdy base to hold the false teeth in place. It also replaces the missing teeth roots to stimulate the bone and prevent bone loss in the jaw. The abutment is a small piece that connects the implant to the dental restoration. The dental restoration is the false teeth. It will be a dental bridge, denture, or dental crown, depending on how many teeth you are missing. To learn more about the dental implant process, see Dental Implants.

Dental crowns

Dental crowns are custom caps that completely encase a tooth that is decayed, damaged, or weakened. A dental crown will restore a tooth to its original strength, shape, size, and appearance. It will also strengthen the tooth and protect it from further harm.

This is a popular treatment that we use to for many reasons. Dr. Haddad may recommend a dental crown to protect a weak tooth after a root canal, to support a bridge, or to strengthen a tooth with severe decay. It will resemble a natural tooth and help ensure long-term durability and functionality while improving the patient’s oral health and confidence. To learn more about the dental crown process, see Dental Crowns.

Dental bridges

A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration that we may use to replace one or more missing teeth. It will bridge the gap between adjacent remaining natural teeth or dental implants. A bridge is made up of one or more artificial teeth, known as pontics, which are held in place by dental crowns or abutments. We offer several types of dental bridges to accommodate our patient’s needs.

A dental bridge will help restore the functionality of your missing teeth. You will be able to chew better, speak normally, maintain proper tooth alignment, and your facial structure will remain intact. To learn more about the different types of bridges we offer, see Dental Bridge.

Dentures

A denture is a dental prosthesis designed to replace several missing on an arch or an entire arch of teeth. They also replace some of the surrounding tissues. Complete dentures will rest on the gums and rely on suction to remain in place. Sometimes, denture adhesive is needed to secure the appliance. Partial dentures replace several missing teeth when there are some natural, healthy teeth remaining. It will have clasps that will clip onto the remaining teeth to hold it in place.

Dentures will help improve chewing and speaking abilities, support facial muscles to prevent sagging, and restore smiles. While they take some time to adjust to, modern dentures are more comfortable and natural-looking than ever before. Regular dental check-ups are crucial for denture wearers, ensuring proper fit, function, and oral health. To learn more about the types of dentures we offer, see Dentures and Partials.

Orthodontics

Orthodontic treatment does more than create pretty, straight smiles. They restore oral health by correctly misaligned teeth and jaw issues. Crooked teeth are more than a cosmetic problem. Patients with crooked teeth will have difficultly cleaning their teeth increasing their risk of cavities and gum disease. Orthodontic treatments like braces or clear aligners will properly enhance your oral hygiene and reducing the likelihood of decay and gum problems.

Also, properly aligned teeth will improve your bite function. This can reduce the amount of wear and tear on your teeth and minimize jaw pain. Finally, simply attaining a straight smile will enhance your confidence. This will help you maintain your oral hygiene, promoting better oral health. To learn more about the orthodontic treatments we offer, see Orthodontics.

TMJ Therapy

If you suffer from TMJ, we offer TMJ treatment that will restore your oral health. This condition can cause jaw pain and can lead to severe tooth damage. A TMJ disorder is often related to teeth grinding. Oral appliance therapy will help alleviate the strain, discomfort, and pain this can cause. If you do have damage to your teeth, we can also correct that damage with various restorative dentistry treatments. If your TMJ disorder is caused by misalignment, we may recommend orthodontics or restorative treatments to restore balance. To learn more about the treatments we offer for a TMJ disorder, see TMJ Treatment.

Periodontal Therapy

If you have gum disease, you must seek dental treatment as soon as possible. This is a progressive disease that will threaten your oral health. Treatments such as scaling and root planing can reduce inflammation and prevent the progression of periodontal disease. Without treatment, you risk damage to the underlying bone, including bone loss, tooth loss, and receding gums. Untreated gum disease will place you at a higher risk for certain system diseases such as heart disease and stroke. Our gum disease treatments can eliminate bad breath, enhance the appearance of the gums, and reduce the risk of systemic health problems associated with untreated periodontal issues, ensuring a healthier, more vibrant smile and overall well-being. To learn more about our gum disease treatments, see Periodontal Therapy.

Dr. Haddad is highly trained in the complexities of the bite and the importance of the balance between gums and teeth. She will restore your smile so you can enjoy the following benefits:

Improved Oral Health: Restorative dental treatments such as dental fillings, dental crowns, or root canal therapy prevent further deterioration of the teeth. This preserves your oral health, tooth function, and prevents tooth loos.

Better Chewing and Speech: Restored teeth will allow you to chew your food and speak clearly and properly. You can then enjoy a varied diet and communicate clearly without discomfort.
Prevention of Further Damage: Restorative procedures prevent the spread of decay or damage to neighboring teeth. This will help to maintain the integrity of all your remaining, healthy teeth.
Pain Relief: Damaged or infected teeth are often painful. Restoring them will alleviate pain and discomfort, improving your overall quality of life.
