Dental Fillings

Dental fillings  are used to repair teeth affected by cavities, minor fractures, or other areas of damage. After removing the damaged or decayed portion of the tooth, the area is restored to help protect the tooth and restore its natural shape and function.At New Essence Dentistry, we offer tooth-colored restorative materials that can blend naturally with your smile. Dr. Forghany will evaluate the tooth and recommend the most appropriate treatment based on the amount of remaining healthy tooth structure.

Dental Bridges

A dental bridge can replace one or more missing teeth by using neighboring teeth to support a custom-made replacement. Bridges are designed to restore the appearance of your smile while improving your ability to bite and chew comfortably.Dr. Forghany will evaluate your teeth, gums, bite, and treatment goals to determine whether a dental bridge, dental implant, or another tooth-replacement option is most appropriate for you.

Root Canal Therapy

Root canal therapy may be recommended when the soft tissue inside a tooth, known as the pulp, becomes inflamed or infected due to deep decay, cracks, trauma, or other damage. The goal of treatment is to remove the affected tissue, clean and seal the inside of the tooth, and preserve the natural tooth whenever possible. After root canal treatment, the tooth will need an appropriate final restoration to protect it and restore function. Dr. Forghany will discuss whether a filling, crown, or other restoration is recommended for your individual tooth.

Full & Partial Dentures

Dentures are custom-made restorations designed to replace multiple missing teeth and restore your smile, bite, and everyday function. Partial dentures replace several missing teeth while working with your remaining natural teeth, while complete dentures can replace an entire upper or lower arch.

Today’s dentures can be designed using different materials and treatment approaches based on your individual needs. Dr. Forghany will evaluate your oral health and discuss traditional dentures, partial dentures, implant-supported options, or other appropriate solutions to help determine what works best for you.
