General Dentistry Embarking on a journey towards excellent oral health in West Hartford? You've come to the right place! We understand that dental procedures can often seem complex. However, with a bit of knowledge and a friendly dentist by your side, you'll see that there's nothing to fear in these common general dentistry procedures. Tooth ExtractionWhen you need to have a tooth extracted, it means that it must be removed from your mouth entirely. For some reason, this tooth is beyond salvaging, and to restore your mouth to good working order, it would need to be removed from the area before it can cause further damage from occurring. Often, the tooth that requires extraction may be painful, and removing the problem can get you back to eating and drinking your favorite things. Learn more about tooth extraction. Tooth FillingForemost, fillings are a common solution to cavities and tooth decay. A robust filling prevents further decay and helps to restore the function of the tooth. The procedure involves removing the decayed portion of the tooth and then "filling" the area on the tooth where the decayed material was removed. Read more about tooth fillings. MouthguardA mouth guard is generally suggested for preventing tooth damage, especially for athletes or those who grind their teeth at night. They help cushion a blow to the face, reducing the risk of broken teeth, and injuries to your lips, tongue, face, or jaw. Those who grind their teeth may also find a mouth guard beneficial as it provides a barrier between teeth and guards against potential damage. Discover more of the benefits of mouthguards. Root CanalRoot canals are often thought of as a daunting procedure, yet with modern advancements in dentistry, root canal therapy is often straightforward and involves little to no discomfort. Essentially, it's a treatment used to repair and save a tooth that is badly decayed or has become infected. Learn more about root canals. Dental ImplantsDental implants provide a winning solution to missing teeth, providing both functionality and the confidence that comes with a complete smile.

Dental CrownFor teeth that have been chipped, cracked, or extensively decayed, we offer the dental crown procedure. Functioning like a cap that fully encases the affected tooth, a dental crown restores the shape, size, strength, and appearance of the affected tooth all at once. Read more about dental crowns.

Dental BridgeIf you need a solution for missing teeth but want something more fixed than dentures, a dental bridge might be perfect for you. A dental bridge quite literally 'bridges' the gap created by one or more missing teeth. Learn more about the benefits of dental bridges. Dental BondingLastly, there's the procedure of dental bonding, an effective and cost-efficient procedure to correct chips, cracks, or gaps in teeth. The process involves attaching a tooth-colored composite resin to the tooth, sculpting it to the desired shape, hardening it, and then polishing it to match the rest of your teeth.
