Dental Bridges
When a permanent tooth is lost, you should be proactive about filling in the gap. In many cases, a dental bridge can be used to replace either a single missing tooth or at least two consecutive missing teeth. The bridge will use two of your remaining teeth for support, and it will be carefully customized to look like a natural part of your mouth. Once your dental bridge is in place, it will help stop the teeth you still have from drifting out of position.

Tooth-Colored Fillings
Many of our older patients surely remember the days when silver-colored amalgam fillings were the norm. Thankfully, our team is happy to offer a much-improved alternative in the form of tooth-colored fillings. This type of filling is made from composite resin, which comes in several lifelike shades and also offers plenty of flexible durabilities. It can be used to create much smaller fillings (saving healthy tooth structure in the process) and is also less prone to uncomfortable sensitivity when eating overly hot or cold foods.
Full & Partial Dentures
Dentures have been around for countless years in some shape or form – in fact, there’s evidence of people using them in many ancient civilizations! Today’s versions are more modern, customizable, and comfortable than ever before. At Dolfield Dental of Owings Mills, we have several prosthetic options, including removable full-arch dentures, removable partial models, and even implant-retained prosthetics that offer patients additional stability.
Root Canals
Root canals may have a “scary” reputation, but don’t believe the rumors – this procedure is actually a highly successful way to escape the pain caused by advanced tooth infections. Our doctors will access the inner pulp of the affected tooth and remove the diseased portions, thoroughly cleaning the area before sealing it shut once more. A custom-made dental crown will be placed over the tooth as a final touch to renew its stability and function, allowing you to enjoy your natural smile well into the future.
Extractions
Our doctors will do everything in their power to help patients maintain healthy, confident smiles for life. However, there are situations where the extraction of one or more tooth may become a necessity in order to help you maintain your oral health and overall wellbeing. For instance, you may have suffered a traumatic facial injury, or advanced infection has rendered restorative treatment ineffective. At this point, our goal will be to alleviate any pain you’re experiencing and help you select the right tooth replacement option right away so that you don’t have to be without your full set of teeth for very long.
