We offer the following restorative dentistry solutions at our dental office in Lutherville, MD:
Dental Implants
Missing teeth can result in various oral health problems and dysfunction, including difficulty chewing and speaking. If you have lost a tooth due to an injury or decay, we recommend dental implants as long-lasting tooth loss solutions. Dental implants come the closest to replicating the look, feel, and function of your natural teeth!
While conventional fixed bridges and dentures remain effective and satisfying ways to replace missing teeth, dental implants come the closest to replicating the look, feel, and function of a natural smile. We offer the following selection of dental implants:
- Single Dental Implants
- All-on-4® Dental Implants (New Teeth in a Day!)
- Hybrid Dental Implants
- Implant-Retained Dentures
Dental Crowns
If a tooth has suffered damage or decay but is still otherwise healthy, a dental crown may be used to restore its shape and integrity. Dental crowns can restore the affected tooth, protect it from further damage, and restore its proper function. If you have one or more missing teeth, Dr. Lehrfield may also use a dental bridge to complete your smile restoration.
At Smile Design Center, we fabricate dental crowns using the following durable, tooth-colored materials:
- All Porcelain
- All Ceramic
- Zirconia
- BruxZir®
Removable Dentures
Our expert denture specialists will create a personalized solution crafted to fit your smile, seamlessly using the highest quality materials and featuring the latest technology. Whether you need all your teeth replaced or just a few, dentures and partial dentures offer cost-effective, aesthetically pleasing methods of filling the gaps created by missing teeth.
Tooth-Colored Dental Fillings
Custom-shaded, color-matched fillings are a preferred alternative to traditional, unattractive metal fillings. Dr. Lehrfield will color-match his state-of-the-art filling material to blend perfectly with your teeth. As a result, no one will be able to tell that you have had a cavity or white fillings. And we are an amalgam-free dental office, so you'll always be treated using the safest possible materials.
Inlays & Onlays
Dental inlays and onlays are used to repair mild or moderately decayed teeth that are located in the back of the mouth. Dr. Lehrfield may also place them in areas that contain fractured teeth that aren't damaged severely enough to require a full dental crown. Like all of our restorations, our inlays and onlays are always shade-matched to blend with the rest of your natural smile!
Dental Bonding
Sometimes, a small portion of the tooth becomes missing due to an accident, injury, teeth grinding (bruxism), or even through the wear and tear of everyday life. Missing a part of your tooth could affect the look of your smile and sometimes healthy teeth, too – we use the powers of dental bonding to restore these areas to look beautiful and healthy again. We use only expertly shade-matched, tooth-colored materials (similar to white fillings) to cover chips or gaps in the teeth. For many, numbing or adjusting the tooth isn't even necessary.
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is a popular and affordable way to replace missing teeth. By connecting two or more teeth with a pontic or false tooth, an artificial tooth will be implanted in your mouth where your lost tooth once was. Smile Design Center offers traditional and permanently fixed bridges using one of our highly advanced digital impaction strategies.
Root Canal Therapy
A root canal procedure is the most common way to relieve toothache pain, save a damaged tooth and preserve your natural smile. During a root canal procedure at Smile Design Center, the infected pulp of your tooth is removed, and the inside is cleaned and sealed with a filling material.
When root canal therapy is required, it must be performed by a dental professional, as the infected tooth may be in danger of further infection or damage. Although not every instance of dental discomfort indicates the need for root canal therapy, some of the warning signs that you might require this procedure include:
- Unresolved, persistent pain
- Temperature sensitivity
- Discomfort with pressure or the slightest touch
- Darkened, discolored tooth
- Chipped, cracked, or fractured tooth
- Swelling around the tooth and gums
- Tooth mobility
At Smile Design Center, we prioritize patient comfort for every procedure, root canals included! If you experience dental discomfort or anxiety, let us know so we can serve you best.
