Restore Damaged & Missing Teeth
Cavities are the most common issue treated by restorative dentistry, and at Tuttle Family Dentistry, Dr. Colt and Dr. Tuttle offer both composite and amalgam fillings to treat cavities and restore your teeth. Composite fillings are tooth-colored and are a great choice for front teeth where aesthetics are a major concern.
Amalgam fillings are made of a blend of metals, and though they have a less natural, silver-gray appearance, they are very strong and durable, so they are often recommended for restoring rear teeth where durability is more important and aesthetics are not as important. Contact us now to schedule your appointment and get the help you need for cavities in Colorado Springs.
We offer same-day CEREC dental crowns. Using our in-office CEREC machine, we can build a crown that looks, feels, and functions just like a natural tooth in just a few minutes. With our advanced technology, you can cover up a damaged, decayed, or broken tooth in just a single appointment at our office, and restore both the beauty and the functionality of your smile.
Dental bridges attach to two of your healthy teeth using dental crowns. Between them, one or more false teeth or “pontics” will be suspended to cover up gaps in your smile. Bridges are usually used to restore 1-3 adjacent missing teeth. They are a great alternative to other treatments like dental implants and partial dentures.
Full dentures consist of an acrylic base with a full set of upper or lower false teeth. They fit directly over your gums to restore your smile and your bite, allowing you to smile, eat, speak, and live a normal day-to-day life after tooth loss.
Full dentures are usually only recommended if you have already lost most or all of your teeth due to serious dental trauma or a chronic oral health issue like uncontrolled tooth decay or gum disease. This is because all of your teeth must be pulled in order to get full dentures.
Partial dentures consist of one or more false teeth in a plastic and metal framework. They usually clip onto your remaining healthy teeth, which locks them into place and keeps your false teeth from moving.
If you are missing a few teeth but are not interested in dental implants or bridges, partial dentures are a good option for restoring your smile on a budget.
Root canal therapy is used to treat infected teeth. In this procedure, a small hole is made in the tooth, then Dr. Colt or Dr. Tuttle will remove the infected material from the inside, fill up the tooth, and cover it with a filling or a crown. This restores the tooth’s function and preserves it for years to come. We offer both anterior (front) and posterior (rear) root canals at Tuttle Family Dentistry.
