July 15, 2024

Your tooth enamel is incredibly strong, but it’s not invincible. Many of us will need dental repairs at some point in our lives. Fortunately, modern dentistry offers numerous solutions to restore damaged teeth and maintain oral health.

At Drake Family Dentistry in Harlingen, TX, we’re committed to preserving your smile. If you’ve experienced tooth damage, don’t wait – contact us at 956-450-7375 for a consultation. Early intervention often leads to simpler, more cost-effective treatments.

Take Preventive Measures to Keep Your Smile in Shape

First of all, the best way to maintain a healthy smile is through prevention:

  • Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste
  • Floss daily
  • Schedule bi-annual dental check-ups and cleanings
  • Avoid chewing hard objects like ice or popcorn kernels
  • Consider a custom mouthguard if you grind your teeth at night

We’ve Got Your Smile Repair Covered 

When dental issues arise, we offer a range of restorative treatments to repair your smile:

  • Tooth-Colored Fillings – Ideal for small cavities, these blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. They don’t contain any mercury or metals. 
  • Dental Crowns – These are perfect for repairing extensive decay, cracks, or breaks in teeth. When attached to a dental implant, you can replace a single tooth with an implant/crown combination. 
  • Root Canals – When infection reaches the tooth’s interior, this procedure can save your tooth and alleviate pain. 
  • Dental Bridges – A bridge is an excellent option for replacing one or more adjacent missing teeth.
  • Dental Implants – The gold standard for tooth replacement, implants preserve your jawbone and can support crowns, bridges, or dentures.
  • Dentures – Available in full or partial options, you also have the possibility of implant support for enhanced stability and comfort.

We believe in providing personalized care. We’ll work with you to determine the best treatment plan for your unique situation, considering factors like the extent of damage, your overall oral health, your personal preferences, and your budget.

Remember, early detection and treatment are crucial in maintaining your oral health and preventing more serious issues down the line. If you’re experiencing any dental discomfort or notice changes in your teeth, don’t hesitate to reach out.

Protecting your smile is our priority! Call us today at 956-450-7375 to schedule your consultation and take the first step toward a healthier, more confident you.
