Restorative Dentistry in Skokie, IL.

One of the main goals of dentistry is to save teeth that are still functional using treatments that repair them and restore their strength and integrity. Extraction and replacement are often the last options for a tooth that is no longer viable and may pose a threat to the surrounding dental structure and overall oral health.

At the office of Patrick C. Hann, DDS, we offer a variety of restorative dental procedures that give you the strength of your bite back while maintaining your natural smile. Our treatment plans are customized to the unique needs of each patient, as no two smiles are identical.

Dental Restorations in Skokie

There are a multitude of restorative treatments available to patients, depending on what kind of specific issues they face.

Some of our services include:

Fillings: Considered a minor restoration, the majority of adults will require a filling at some point in their life. A composite resin material that matches the color of your teeth is used to fill a cavity after the decay is removed, sealing the area from further infection and restoring the tooth’s integrity.

Crowns: Lifelike prosthetic caps that are cemented onto damaged and decayed teeth to return strength to the bite and preserve an otherwise healthy root. Dr. Hann makes crown placement convenient with same-day CAD/CAM crowns.

Bridges: Dental prosthetics made to look like a row of teeth that can replace up to three missing teeth. This restoration is anchored to the adjacent teeth with crowns.

Dental Implants: Biocompatible titanium posts implanted directly in the jaw, creating an artificial root for prosthetics to rest on for a sturdier, healthier way to fill gaps in the smile.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What does restorative dentistry include?

Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing or renewing your teeth with the goal of improving your oral health. Some of the most common types of dental restorations include fillings, crowns, bridges, and dental implants. Our dentist will examine your situation and only recommend treatments that offer long-term benefits.

How long does a tooth restoration last?

Many factors contribute to the longevity of any particular restorative dental treatment. However, you can expect most dental restorations, including crowns and bridges, to last for ten years or longer. The primary way to increase the life of your restoration is through proper hygiene habits and regular dental cleanings.
