West Hartford Dentist
Our compassionate staff is well aware that certain dental issues are not as easy to discuss than others. Our dental office in West Hartford, Dr. Oscar Gonzalez understands it’s never comfortable for you to deal with missing teeth. Whether it is due to decay, deterioration, a prior restoration, or a fractured tooth, there are many forms of safe, successful dental restoration. Dr. Gonzalez is well educated and experienced with many techniques to restore broken, damaged or missing teeth so that they are healthy and functioning properly.
During your consultation at our West Hartford dental office, our dentist will go over the various procedures of dental restoration including, implants, dentures, bridges, crowns, and even gum treatment. An exam will determine the present condition of your teeth and the number of teeth missing or needing replacement. Taking all of this into consideration, along with the methods you are more comfortable with, we will determine the best procedure for you. The most common form of dental restoration is a filling and your teeth can be filled with silver amalgam, gold, tooth-colored plastic or composite resin fillings. To restore its size, shape, strength, or to hold a bridge in place, we use crowns which is a tooth-shaped cover that is put over your existing tooth. Dr. Gonzalez has extensive experience with bridges which are false teeth designed to fill the gap made by one or more missing teeth. If implants are the better way to go, a small metal post will be put into the bone socket where the teeth are missing then covered with a replacement tooth, or crown.
With all these options you can rest easy knowing that the dedicated staff at our West Hartford dental office will help you choose what is best for your needs and be there with you to achieve your dental goals with the least amount of pain and anxiety. With his years of experience and education, Dr. Gonzalez is known for the gentle treatment of patients of all ages and is an expert in the field of dental restorations.
