What to expect at your restorative appointment in Tyler, TX

Comprehensive Exam

Dr. L Nash will conduct a thorough oral health examination, known as a "full mouth exam," to assess the condition of your teeth and gums. Additionally, the examination will include screening for oral cancer, periodontal disease, tooth decay, and any other factors that may affect your oral health.

Personal Treatment Plan

Once your exam is complete, you will have a discussion with Dr. L Nash regarding your oral health goals. Together, you will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific dental needs. This plan will provide a detailed outline of the recommended care, including a timeline for each treatment and information about any services you will receive.

Options and Alternatives

Each person's smile is as individual as they are, meaning that no two treatment plans will be identical. We will support you throughout the entire process, providing information on all the treatment options available to you and addressing any inquiries you may have. This way, you can select the treatment that best suits your requirements, financial situation, and way of life.

Personalized Treatment Plan

Using the information we’ve gathered with your exam and x-rays, we’ll work together with you to craft a treatment plan customized for your unique oral health needs, budget, and lifestyle. If everything looks good, we’ll simply schedule your next routine cleaning and checkup.

Appointments & Follow-Ups

Depending on the severity of your emergency and our availability, we may be able to offer you a same-day appointment. For non-emergencies, we will schedule your next appointment after your cleaning and examination. We will collaborate with you to ensure that your next visit is convenient for your schedule.

Restorative Treatment Options

Dental Fillings: Restoring Decay and Preventing Further Damage

Dental fillings are a common and effective solution for repairing teeth damaged by cavities or other oral health issues. The choice of filling material depends on factors such as the location and extent of the damage, as well as your overall oral health. Options include composite resin, gold alloys, metal amalgam, porcelain, and glass ionomer cement.

If you suspect a cavity, it is crucial to seek prompt treatment to prevent the decay from spreading. Neglecting cavities can lead to their growth, potentially requiring more invasive procedures like root canal therapy or even tooth extraction to restore your oral wellbeing.

Enhance Your Smile with Inlays and Onlays

Experience the dual benefits of improved aesthetics and functionality with dental inlays and onlays. Inlays are an ideal solution for restoring a damaged tooth that exceeds the capacity of a filling but doesn't necessitate a crown. On the other hand, onlays are specifically designed to repair the chewing surface of a tooth. These restorations can be crafted from a variety of materials, including gold, porcelain, composite resin, or tooth-colored substances.

Lab-Made Crowns: Restoring Damaged Teeth with Precision

Our dental crowns are expertly crafted using the finest materials in a cutting-edge dental lab. Skilled dental technicians work diligently to create crowns that fit your unique specifications. The process begins with Dr. L Nash preparing your damaged tooth, ensuring it serves as a solid foundation for the crown. Impressions of your bite are then taken, either through putty or digital scans, and sent to the lab for the creation of your custom restoration.

While your permanent crown is being meticulously crafted, we will provide you with a temporary crown to wear. Once your final crown is ready, it will be sent to our Tyler, TX office for placement. Before securing the crown, we will ensure it fits perfectly and make any necessary adjustments to ensure your new smile looks and feels natural.

Get Same-Day Crowns for a Brand-New Smile in a Single Visit

Experience the benefits of lab-made crowns without the long wait. Our advanced CAD/CAM technology allows us to provide you with same-day crowns, saving you time and hassle.

Our same-day crowns not only repair your tooth but also provide extra strength by covering and protecting it. Dr. L Nash will carefully trim away any damaged or decayed portion of your tooth and shape it to create a strong foundation for your crown, ensuring a comfortable fit and finish.

Once your tooth is prepared, we'll take a 3D scan of your bite, which will be used by our milling machine to craft your new crown. In just about an hour, your crown will be ready. Dr. L Nash will then double-check the fit and appearance before permanently securing it to your tooth.

Benefits of Dental Bridges

Dental bridges are a reliable solution for replacing one or multiple missing teeth in a row. They involve placing crowns on the adjacent teeth to support the bridge and restore your smile.

One of the advantages of dental bridges is the reduction in sensitivity caused by exposed roots. Additionally, they enhance your ability to chew and speak comfortably as they are supported by your natural teeth.

Root Canal Therapy

Root canal therapy is a procedure that involves the removal of infected or damaged pulp from a tooth. While it is commonly performed on molars or premolars, it can be done on any tooth.

A successful root canal eliminates all signs of infection from the tooth and fills the empty space with a rubber-like material called gutta-percha. This not only stops the spread of infection but also helps maintain the strength of the tooth to prevent future issues. Our priority is to preserve your natural teeth whenever possible, and a root canal can help avoid more invasive treatments in the future.

During a root canal, Dr. L Nash will use specialized ultrasonic instruments or hand files to thoroughly clean out the infected tissue within the tooth. The canals will then be irrigated with an antibacterial solution. Once the infection is removed and the tooth is filled, most patients will receive a dental crown to protect the tooth.

Full And Partial Dentures

Dentures are removable dental appliances that are designed to replace missing teeth and gum tissue. Partial dentures can be a solution for patients that are missing one or a several of their natural teeth. Full dentures are used to replace a full arch of missing teeth. Dentures can be made from a variety acrylic and composite materials, and are held in place with suction, dental adhesive, or a metal framework that clips into your remaining healthy teeth. Dentures are a convenient, affordable way to restore your smile.

Oral Surgeries

Some patients may require oral surgery for various reasons, such as preparing for dental implants, removing impacted teeth, or correcting severe orthodontic issues.
‍
One common oral surgery is bone grafting, which involves replacing lost jaw bone mass and promoting bone regrowth. This procedure is often necessary for patients with weakened jawbones due to tooth loss, periodontal disease, or aging. By performing a bone graft, we ensure that the patient's jaw bone is strong enough to support a dental implant.
‍
In cases where a patient needs a full set of dentures or full-arch dental implants, a tooth extraction may be necessary. However, we always prioritize saving natural teeth whenever possible and will only recommend extraction if other less-invasive options are not viable for restoring your smile.

Restorative dental treatments such as root canals, crowns, and implants offer numerous advantages. Despite appearing daunting, restorative dentistry has become more comfortable thanks to advancements in techniques and technology.

By seeking treatment promptly, you not only save time and money but also gain the confidence to smile, knowing that your bite is in excellent condition.

If you experience any oral trauma or injury that cannot be treated at home and requires immediate attention, it is considered a dental emergency. Dental emergencies include conditions such as persistent toothaches, continuous oral pain or discomfort, chipped or broken teeth, missing or lost dental work, and bleeding gums. It is always better to be safe than sorry, so even if you are unsure if your situation qualifies as a dental emergency, please contact us to determine if you need emergency care.
