Fillings

A dental filling is used to repair a cavity or decayed area in the tooth. We use composite fillings, which are made of plastic and glass particles, to fill the tooth. Not only are composite fillings strong and durable, but they also look natural and can preserve the bright, vibrant appearance of your smile. 

Typically, a filling procedure involves removing decayed or damaged portions of a tooth, cleaning the tooth, and filling the area with composite material. The material is molded to the shape of your tooth and set in place with a special ultraviolet light. This will leave you with a beautiful, strong smile that restores your tooth’s structure and function.

Crowns

A crown, also known as a ‘cap,’ is a dental restoration that covers the entire visible surface of the tooth. It is used to restore teeth that have been broken, fractured, infected, or significantly weakened. We use crowns when the tooth requires more than a filling; this helps patients quickly regain a healthy, functional, and attractive smile. The procedure for applying a crown includes removing the decayed or damaged portions of the tooth, treating any existing infection, cleaning and reshaping the remaining tooth structure, and finally placing the custom-made crown over the tooth. 

Our crowns are made from porcelain to match the shade and texture of your natural teeth. With the restoration crafted to precisely encapsulate the damaged tooth, it will blend seamlessly into the smile. 

Bridges

A bridge is an artificial tooth prosthesis that is used to replace a single missing tooth or a series of missing teeth in one section of the mouth. It consists of multiple crowns that are fused together to form a solid unit that can be cemented to the remaining teeth on either side of the gap. With the crowns on each end of the prosthetic anchoring the bridge, the artificial teeth in the center span the gap. 

The bridge procedure begins with preparing the adjacent teeth to receive the bridge. The teeth are reshaped and trimmed to accommodate the prosthesis, which should fit comfortably in your mouth. Once the bridge is securely attached, you’ll have a beautiful, healthy smile that is both natural looking and long-lasting. 

Full & Partial Dentures

For those who have lost all or a significant amount of their teeth, dentures may be the best solution for regaining your smile. Full and partial dentures are removable prosthetic devices that are custom-made to fit your mouth and replicate the look of natural teeth. 

Full dentures replace all of the natural teeth in an arch, while partial dentures are used to replace only a few missing teeth. During the process of making a denture, impressions and measurements will be taken of your mouth in order to create a device that fits comfortably. The dentures are crafted to look like natural teeth and gums while providing you with the ability to speak and eat normally.

Same-Day Dentures

Atlantic Dentistry at Bartram proudly offers same-day dentures, which allow you to get a custom denture prosthetic in just one visit. Our same-day dentures are crafted with the utmost precision to provide a beautiful and comfortable fit. 

After our dentists take impressions and measurements of your mouth, we will create and fit you with a set of dentures the same day. That way, you don’t have to wait days or weeks to enjoy a full, functioning smile. 

Inlays & Onlays

For teeth that are too damaged to be filled with a composite filling, but not bad enough to require a crown, inlays and onlays can be the perfect solution. These restorations are crafted from either porcelain or composite material and are designed to precisely fit the affected tooth.

  • An inlay restoration fits inside of the cusp tips of the tooth, while an onlay covers the chewing surface and extends along one or more cusps.

Both inlays and onlays provide a durable, natural-looking restoration that requires minimal tooth preparation. Inlays and onlays can be used to restore decayed teeth, broken fillings, or cracked teeth in order to improve the overall health and strength of your smile. 

Tooth Extractions

In some cases, it may be necessary to remove a tooth due to severe decay or damage. Our team at Atlantic Dentistry at Bartram offers tooth extractions to keep your mouth healthy and free of infection. 

We understand that tooth extraction can be a stressful procedure, so we make sure to provide you with compassionate care throughout the experience. Our dentists will use gentle techniques and anesthesia to ensure a comfortable and successful extraction. With the latest technology, we can precisely plan and execute the tooth extraction, allowing for a swift recovery. 

Wisdom Tooth Removal

The third molars, or “wisdom teeth,” typically emerge in the late teens and early twenties. However, if these teeth don’t have enough room to grow in properly, they can become impacted and cause dental problems. To avoid any complications, our dentists may recommend wisdom tooth removal. 

While a standard extraction can be performed using simple tools and a local anesthetic, impacted wisdom teeth may require more advanced techniques or surgery for removal. If our dentists determine that specialized care is needed, we can surgically access and remove the impacted teeth with no damage to the surrounding bone and tissues.  

Root Canals

If a cavity is left untreated or a tooth is severely fractured, it can cause an infection to spread to the innermost part of the tooth, known as the pulp. When this occurs, patients may experience pain, tooth sensitivity, discoloration, fever, and swelling in the area. To treat this infection, a root canal may be necessary to save the tooth from extraction. 

At Atlantic Dentistry at Bartram, our dentists are trained and experienced in performing root canals. While the area surrounding the tooth is numb, we will carefully access and clean out the infected pulp from the tooth, after which we will fill and seal the canals. We may also place a dental crown to protect the restored tooth from further damage or decay. Once the root canal is complete, any discomfort should be relieved and patients will be able to enjoy the full function of the repaired tooth.

Emergency Dentistry

If you’re experiencing a dental emergency, don’t wait to get the care you need. Our dentists at Atlantic Dentistry at Bartram can provide fast and efficient treatment for emergency cases, from toothaches to knocked-out teeth. For severe dental trauma, we may refer you to a local emergency room, depending on your situation. 

We understand that dental emergencies can be traumatic and overwhelming, so we strive to provide the best care as quickly as possible. Our dentists are dedicated to helping you find relief, and we will do everything we can to get you back on the path to good oral health.
