Cosmetic Dental Care

Restorative Dentistry Modesto, CA by Dr. Rosenbaum & Associates

We all look at our smile in a mirror at Dr. Rosenbaum & Associates, our goal is to prevent dental problems before they occur. Unfortunately, this is not always possible due to poor oral hygiene, genetics, infrequent checkups, and other risk factors. This is why Dr. Rosenbaum & Associates specialize in cosmetic restorative dentistry. Our cosmetic restorative services are designed to improve the function and aesthetics of your smile, as well as your overall oral health. 

We believe that dental care can be convenient, attractive, and high quality. We offer most dental services under one roof without the need for a referral to a specialist’s office. We know that patients do not enjoy traveling from one side of town to the next to receive the care they need, so our dentists use their well-rounded skills and experience to offer specialty services such as oral surgery, root canal therapy, pediatric dentistry, and periodontal care. In the few cases where we can't treat you in our office, we will refer you to the best specialists in town to take care of your needs.

If you'd like to have a "one stop shop" for your dental needs, you can count on us for convenience and excellence every time. We even offer same-day crowns, when we can, because we understand that today’s families are busy. Utilizing CEREC technology to create your restorations in our office in one day saves you both time and money.

What does cosmetic restorative dentistry include?

To put is simply and clearly, restorative dentistry involves dental procedures which focuses on repairing or restoring damaged oral structure to your teeth. This may include many dental procedures together or individually such as: fillings, bridge work, dentures complete or partial, implants, tooth extraction and much more.

DENTAL FILLINGS

Dental fillings are the best way to restore minor to moderate instances of tooth decay. Most fillings these days consist of a material known as composite resin. Composite resin is an aesthetically-pleasing material that we color-match to the existing shade of your enamel. For this reason, a composite filling is virtually indistinguishable from the rest of your tooth.

DENTAL CROWNS

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that improves the structure and cosmetics of a damaged or decayed tooth. During the procedure, your tooth must be completely reshaped to accommodate the shape of the crown. Once the tooth is reshaped, we will permanently bond the crown to the enamel using a special adhesive. Many crowns are fabricated these days with porcelain, due to its unmatched aesthetics. Discover how a dental crown can be used on a damaged or decayed tooth.

DENTAL BRIDGES

A dental bridge is a tooth replacement that typically consists of two dental crowns linked together by a pontic, or false tooth. A traditional bridge is supported by the two surrounding teeth, known as abutment teeth, that we reshape to receive the crowns. A bridge can also be supported by a series of dental implants if multiple adjacent teeth are missing. If you are missing a tooth, a bridge will prevent the remaining teeth from shifting out of their proper position.

DENTAL IMPLANTS

A dental implant is a small titanium post that we surgically embed into the jawbone. The implant serves as the root component of a prosthetic tooth. Once the implant is in place, it will fuse to the bone during the process of osseointegration. Osseointegration allows the implant to support a restoration against the strongest forces of your bite. For this reason, dental implants are widely considered to be the next best thing to your natural teeth.

ALL-ON-4® TREATMENT CONCEPT

The All-On-4 Treatment Concept was developed to provide edentulous patients (patients with no teeth) with an efficient and effective restoration using only four implants to support an immediately loaded full-arch prosthesis.

DENTURES: COMPLETE, PARTIAL & CUSTOM

A denture is a removable appliance that is usually used to replace one or more missing teeth. A partial denture usually attaches to the surrounding teeth with metal clasps. A complete denture consists of a flesh-colored acrylic base that supports a complete arch of prosthetic teeth. We offer custom-fit dentures as a more comfortable, functional, and durable solution.

Discover how different types of removable dentures can replace missing teeth.

Complete (Full) Removable Dentures

When you are missing all your teeth on your upper or lower arch, a complete denture can give you the ability to eat and speak properly. When you think of complete dentures, you probably remember some fake-looking teeth that your grandparents dropped into a glass in the bathroom, but the days of big, bulky, unnatural looking dentures are over. 

With today’s technology, we can create dentures that look attractive and natural. A comfortable and secure fit is also essential. At our Modesto, CA dental office, we take great care to create functional, attractive dentures that can enhance your quality of life.

Made with artificial teeth and a pink, gum-colored resin base, your denture will allow you to have the confidence to smile and eat a diet that keeps you healthy.
Dr Malogan and Dr Street, look forward to creating dentures that give you the freedom and comfort you are looking for.

INLAYS & ONLAYS

Inlays and onlays are ideal for areas of decay too large for a filling, but not large enough to require the placement of a dental crown. The restoration is considered an inlay if it is placed within the occlusal (bite) surface of a tooth. The restoration is considered an onlay if it extends beyond one or more of the occlusal cusps.

TOOTH EXTRACTION

There are two types of tooth extractions: simple and surgical. We perform a simple extraction on a tooth that has already erupted above the gumline. We perform a surgical extraction on a tooth that has become impacted, or has yet to erupt, such as wisdom teeth. Extraction may be necessary to prevent the spread of infection and other complications.

Learn more about tooth extractions and when they are necessary.

ROOT CANAL

A root canal is a last-ditch effort to save a tooth from extraction. We may recommend a root canal if an infection has spread to the “pulpy” center of the tooth that contains nerve endings and other connective tissues. Once the infection has been removed, we fill the canals with a rubber-like material known as gutta-percha. A tooth that has received root canal treatment typically needs to be capped with a crown.
