Restorative Dentistry: Repair and Restore Your Natural Look
Are you missing one or all of your teeth? Restorative dentistry can repair and restore the natural look of your smile. With restorative dentistry treatments at our Concord, NC dentist office, you can smile with confidence again! Tooth loss can be a demoralizing experience, but we're here to help. At Lockney Dental, we are committed to helping you restore your smile every step of the way.
Dr. Lockney and Dr. Ty have additional training in dental implantology, and particularly enjoy helping patients with complex cases. They regularly perform wisdom tooth removal, place and restores all forms of dental implants, and complete difficult root canals and re-treatments.
Tooth-Colored Dental Fillings
For small cavities, tooth-colored dental fillings are an excellent choice. To protect your overall health, Dr. Lockney and Dr. Ty only use mercury-free fillings to treat cavities. Not only are they safer, but they’re also more attractive.
Dental Crowns
We offer full-coverage dental crowns, made from luminous porcelain and Zirconia materials. These restorations offer beautiful aesthetic results that protect your natural tooth from further damage or decay. They’re also perfect for topping off your dental implants.
Dental Bridges
You don’t have to live with a gap in your smile! We offer metal-free bridges, crafted from porcelain and Zirconia to replace your missing tooth. These durable white restorations enhance your smile’s health and appearance. The crown on either end is called an "abutment," and is bonded onto existing teeth to support the bridge.
Dental Implants
Are you missing a tooth and want a permanent replacement? Dr. Lockney is one of the only dentists in the Concord, NC area that surgically places dental implants in his own office, instead of referring you elsewhere for the surgical phase. Dental implants are titanium posts implanted in your jaw that act as artificial “tooth roots”, permanently anchoring your new tooth, bridge, or denture. Your replacement tooth will be carefully crafted to look natural and fit into your smile seamlessly.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Have you lost an entire arch of teeth on the top or bottom of your mouth? Are you going to have your remaining teeth removed because they are too unhealthy to save? You may be able to replace them with fixed dentures, which are supported by dental implants.
All-on-4® Dental Implants
With All-on-4, your dental implants are stabilized together with a prosthesis to allow you to use your teeth immediately. If you are a good candidate for All-on-4 dental implants , you can expect to have your teeth in just one day! Everyone’s case is unique but the vast majority of the work done by Dr. Lockney or Dr. Ty will be done before the dental implant surgery.
Full and Partial Dentures
For patients missing all their teeth, we offer traditional dentures to give you back the function, feel, and appearance of your natural teeth. For optimal aesthetics, we also offer flexible smile replacements for partial areas of missing teeth.
If you already have dentures but hate the way they fit, we offer an implant retainment option for greater stability. We can even retro-fit your existing dentures to snap into place!
Denture Stabilization
Are your existing dentures loose and causing you discomfort? We can eliminate the problem of slippery dentures using dental implants. Once implants are placed, Dr. Lockney or Dr. Ty will fit your dentures with attachments that allow the implants to hold your dentures firmly in place. No more sliding around and discomfort!
