Restorative dentistry in Costa Mesa uses materials that are much more conservative than traditional dental procedures. Silver fillings and other types of dentistry often require excessive enamel removal. This weakens tooth structure making it more susceptible to additional damage.
Along with less tooth removal, these types of dental restorations are better for other teeth as well.
If your restorations have seen better days you will love the bonded technology used by your dentist in Costa Mesa.
Keep in mind that if you haven’t had your restorations checked you could be dealing with multiple cavities in the same tooth. Old silver amalgam fillings cover up new decay.
Harry Ringer DDS uses tooth colored dental materials made from resin, ceramic and porcelain that look just like natural teeth. In fact, the only person who will know you have had work done is you and your Costa Mesa dentist.

Inlays and onlays are often used by Harry Ringer DDS when fillings and dental crowns don’t fit the agenda. In other words, if you have a damaged tooth that doesn’t require a large filling or crown, Harry Ringer DDS often recommends inlays and onlays.
Made from dental resin and other biocompatible materials, inlays are molded to fit your chewing area, while onlays are used for the cusps of teeth and biting surfaces.

Dental crowns and bridges are strong and safe restorations that Harry Ringer DDS uses to repair damaged teeth.
Your Costa Mesa dentist uses dental crowns to cap large fillings and to cover root canals.
Dental crowns are also used instead of porcelain veneers and for dental implants.
Made from durable and aesthetic materials, dental crowns and bridges require less tooth removal as opposed to other types of restorations.
Dental bridges require some removal of the abutment teeth. Inlay retained bridges are an excellent alternative to traditional bridges that require full dental crowns.
Touted as the best replacement for missing teeth, dental implants are the modern way to enjoy life again.
Unlike partial and full dentures implants are permanent restorations that look and act like your natural teeth because of a process known as osseointegration.
This process takes from 6 weeks to several months as it actually fuses your bone to the dental implant post or screw.
Dental implants are titanium posts or screws that your dentist in Costa Mesa surgically places in or on your jawbone.
Once the sutures have healed, your beautiful restorations over the top that look and feel like natural teeth.
Your Costa Mesa dentist offers patients several types of implants that include single, multiple and the All on 4 System.
