134124545 If you are contending with teeth that are damaged, or even some teeth that are missing, then you know that none of the consequences are good ones. The activities you used to take for granted—eating, speaking and smiling—are suddenly difficult. To say nothing of the consequences to your self-esteem. Fortunately, there is a restorative dentist in Superior, WI, that can help. Dr. Doug Clark, Jr. and Dr. Doug Clark III at Hill Avenue Dental are highly trained and experienced in a number of restorative dentistry procedures that will revive your smile and you!

CEREC One-Visit Crowns

When a tooth is damaged because of severe decay or a deep fracture, the need for repair is immediate, not only for the sake of your smile, but to protect the remaining tooth, as well. Nothing is more immediate than a CEREC one-visit crown. Our CEREC, or Chairside Economic Restorations of Esthetic Ceramics, machine allows us to fit, create, and place your crown in just a single appointment. Made of porcelain, a CEREC crown gives you the natural appearance you want.

Root Canal Therapy

For a tooth that is causing you pain and discomfort because of an infection inside the tooth, Dr. Clark or Dr. Clark will perform root canal therapy. During this pain free procedure, the infected soft tissue and any accompanying debris is removed and the canals are filled with a biocompatible material. The remaining tooth structure is then fitted with a crown for protection.

Dental Implants and Fixed Bridges

If you are missing one or more teeth, then our dentists will likely recommend either a dental implant or fixed bridge to replace those teeth. A dental implant is comprised of a titanium post that is surgically implanted in the bone beneath the open socket of your missing tooth, and the abutment and crown that are attached to the post. As such, an implant closely mimics a real tooth with a root and crown.

A fixed bridge is another tooth replacement option. This, as the name implies, bridges the gap over missing teeth. The teeth on either side of the gap are usually fitted with crowns in order to anchor the false tooth that fills the gap.

Make Hill Avenue Dental Your Cosmetic Dentist for the Smile of Your Dreams

100047604 The New Year has recently begun, so it’s not too late to make one more resolution: Smile more. If the smile you have is not the smile you want, however, then you’ll need to do something about that. Fortunately, there are a number of cosmetic dentistry procedures to help. And Hill Avenue Dental in Superior, WI, is the cosmetic dentist more people in the area turn to give them the smiles they want.

Teeth Whitening

Perhaps you’d like your smile to be a bit whiter and brighter. Then, Dr. Doug Clark, Jr. or Dr. Doug Clark III will likely recommend whitening with Philips Zoom DayWhite and NiteWhite. Both of these products can whiten your teeth at home in as few as seven days, and they offer enamel protection as they reduce tooth sensitivity.

Natural Colored Fillings

If you have dark, metal fillings, then we can replace those with fillings made of porcelain or composite resin. These types of fillings not only match the color of your teeth, they tend to be stronger than amalgam fillings and don’t contain any metal, which can be a health hazard.

Cosmetic Bonding

A favorite procedure of the patient and cosmetic dentist alike is cosmetic bonding. If you have teeth that are chipped or slightly cracked, then our dentists can use cosmetic bonding to make them look like new. With cosmetic bonding, a composite resin material is applied to the marred tooth and then hardened with a curing light. Dr. Clark or Dr. Clark will then trim and shape the material so that it blends seamlessly with your other teeth.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are designed to conceal chipped, cracked, stained or somewhat crooked teeth. These dental wonders are composed of layer upon ultra-thin layer of dental porcelain or composite resin and are cemented to the front of your teeth to create a beautiful new smile. Of course, your veneers are color matched to your other teeth, and they are lustrous and reflect light much the same as natural teeth.
