Restorative Dentistry
Northern Shores Dental Group is committed to offering a full range of dentistry services. Whether you’ve had repairs or need a complete replacement, we recommend continual check-ups to assess your gums and bone density to assess the surrounding areas associated with your implant.
Dental Implants
We encourage any patient who is interested in dental implants to contact us right away! Dr. Kay has offered treatment for dental implants since he began practicing. He is knowledgeable on the most cutting edge techniques for replacing missing teeth with dental implants and porcelain crowns. He restores these missing teeth in office with porcelain crowns that will blend naturally with your smile.
For those patients who are missing many or all of their teeth, Dr. Kay also provides implant-retained denture options. For those looking for the highest quality treatment, he also offers implant supported porcelain bridge options, such as All-on-4 full-arch fixed dental bridges.
Bridges
When your teeth are missing, it greatly affects your smile. At the same time, the missing tooth has the potential to negatively affect your oral hygiene because of unprotected gum exposure. Dental bridges are one of many options aimed at improving the appearance and function of your teeth by replacing the missing tooth or teeth. During your exam, we will discuss whether or not dental bridges are right for you.
Inlays and Onlays
If you have large dental fillings that are decades old and the fillings are starting to fail or your teeth are starting to crack, sometimes a cosmetic inlay or onlay can be a great alternative to a dental crown. Dr. Kay will recommend these for patients who want to keep their teeth all their lives, and don’t want their teeth shaved down for porcelain crowns. These are conservative options that help save more of your healthy tooth structure. They are usually made out of cosmetic porcelain that is very strong and is bonded to your healthy tooth.
