    Dental Restoration

    At Progressive Dental & Associates, we offer dental restorations so that patients throughout Matteson can stay in excellent oral health. Dr. Durr is an expert at completing restorations in a way that restores the functionality of a tooth while also looking completely natural. This is important for ensuring that once the dental work is complete, no one can tell your tooth was ever damaged. If your tooth is cracked, chipped or damaged in any way, call (708) 980-0110 to schedule your appointment.

    Why Dental Restorations Are Necessary

    Patients throughout Illinois frequently need to repair teeth due to accidents. An accident can happen at any time. Whether it is a car wreck, sports injury, playing with the kids, or falling at work – teeth are often the victim of daily accidents and when they are, it is important to fix the tooth right away. Otherwise, the area can become infected along with being uncomfortable.

    Restorations are also needed after a tooth becomes infected. When a patient gets a cavity, or a root canal is necessary, Dr. Durr can restore it so that the tooth can continue to function without needing to be removed. This is far better for your overall oral health since keeping your natural teeth is the best option in the long run.

    Types of Restorations

    Dental Crowns

    When a tooth is missing a large portion of its enamel, a dental crown is the best type of restoration because it is a cap that completely surrounds the tooth. This way you can bite down with full force and not worry about being uncomfortable or damaging the tooth further. This is most frequently used after a root canal or when the tooth is severely cracked or chipped. Fortunately, they now come in all-ceramic and ceramic-on-metal in addition to the traditional all-metal material. This means that patients getting crowns for restorations can have natural looking teeth after the fact.

    Dental Veneers

    If a tooth is only slightly damaged with a small chip or crack, a veneer can be used to restore it. A veneer is a thin shell that is placed on top of a natural tooth and frequently used for restorations of the front teeth. The process of placing a veneer is similar to that of a dental crown only with less tooth preparation. If you live in Matteson, IL schedule an appointment so that we can discuss both options with you.

    Tooth-colored Fillings

    At Progressive Dental & Associates, we use tooth-colored fillings as a way to restore teeth that have had cavities. Once the decayed area of the tooth has been removed a filling is necessary to replace the missing enamel. Traditionally, this was done using silver amalgam but now we can complete dental restorations using materials that look natural so that when you smile, no one can tell that you had cavities.

    Bondings

    Those that need minor restorations can often benefit from a simple bonding procedure. This is popular in the 60443 area when restoring baby teeth. Children, for example, don’t need a dental veneer on a tooth that is going to fall out in short order. With this in mind, we can keep a baby tooth in place and ensure that it is functioning properly by restoring it using a bonding procedure. Dr. Durr will use a tooth-colored material so that it looks completely natural.

    Dental Bridges

    Dental bridges are popular for dental restorations. Patients throughout Illinois use a bridge to replace a tooth without undergoing surgery. In this procedure, a dental crown is placed on the two teeth that surround the missing one. The crowns are used as anchors to hold a gum-colored bridge in place that the new tooth is secured to. The entire bridge is created in a local dental lab and will look completely natural by blending in with the surrounding teeth.

    Dental Implants

    Many patients in Matteson IL prefer to use dental implants instead. An implant is by far the most durable option for replacing a missing tooth. In this procedure Dr. Durr implants a metal post under the gums and secures it to the jawbone. The bone and metal fuse together to create a synthetic root system that the new tooth is secured to. With this type of dental restoration, patients can maintain an active lifestyle without worrying about the impact on their new tooth.

    Expertise Matters

    Dr. Durr, an experienced and highly skilled dentist, specializes in precise dental restorations that ensure both comfort and natural-looking results. He understands the importance of seamlessly integrating restorations with your natural teeth, striving to create harmonious outcomes. Patients in the 60443 area greatly appreciate the exceptional outcomes achieved by Dr. Durr, as their expertly restored teeth blend seamlessly with their natural ones, instilling confidence and a sense of liberation.

    Collaborating with Dr. Durr guarantees not only impeccable aesthetics but also a high level of post-restoration comfort. The meticulous design of each restoration is carefully crafted to align perfectly with your bite and surrounding teeth, ensuring optimal comfort and normal oral function. If you reside in Matteson, Illinois, we warmly invite you to contact Progressive Dental & Associates at (708) 980-0110 to schedule an appointment. Experience firsthand why countless patients trust Dr. Durr and his dedicated team for their dental restoration needs.

    Staff was very friendly and professional. Dr. Durr was kind and gentle. Did not feel rushed and he answered all of my questions. He even asked permission to touch my teeth because I told him I was having pain. No dentist has ever done that. I am an extremely fearful patient and I felt comfortable and cared for during my visit. Thank you!
