Fillings

When it comes to the treatment of cavities, the most straightforward method is fillings. One of our skilled dentists will remove the decayed area of the tooth, and fill the space left behind. There are many options when it comes to filling material including:


  • Gold
  • Porcelain
  • Composite Resin


Crowns & Bridges

Our skilled dentists offer state-of-the-art dental prosthetics. Childress Dental is here to ensure that you are in safe and professional hands


Crowns

A crown is a cap fitted over the top of a single damaged tooth, made to match the color of the surrounding teeth. This procedure requires that the underlying tooth still be intact.


Bridges

If multiple teeth are damaged or require removal, a dental bridge will be fitted to cover the space.

Implants

If you are experiencing persistent tooth pain & decay, it may be time for an implant. If you are unhappy with your smile due to one errant or missing tooth, a dental implant could be a feasible solution!


This procedure involves a metal implant that is embedded into the jawbone attached to a crown or bridge.

Composite Bonding

The expert dentists at Childress can easily and efficiently perform dental bonding. From a tooth chip, crack or break, to discoloration, gaps between teeth, even alteration of tooth length, dental bonding is a simple procedure to restore the health and beauty of your smile. There are many advantages to this procedure including:



Efficiency

The procedure can often be completed in a single visit.


Painless

It is likely you will not require anesthesia for the procedure


Value

This is a comparatively inexpensive option to renew your smile.


Less Invasive

Requires less removal of the underlying tooth

Dentures

In the case of extreme deterioration on both sets of teeth, a denture can be fitted to replace them.


There are two forms of denture possibilities: the first a removable prosthesis, the second utilizing implants to permanently anchor them.


Removable:


  • Conventional Denture: Requires at least a month for mouth to heal after tooth removal before dentures can be used


  • Immediate Denture: Can be inserted shortly after tooth removal, however it may need to be adjusted or replaced after mouth has healed.


  • Overdenture: If natural teeth can be preserved, the prosthetic can be fitted over those remaining



Permanent:.


  • Requires at least 4 implants on either side of the jaw


  • Provides more ease while talking, chewing, and smiling


  • Implants will need to be replaced every 10 years


If you are looking for a lasting solution to your dental problems, Dental Prosthetics are a viable option. Childress Dental can guide you through every step of the process towards improving your dental health. 

root canal

Root Canals

When tooth decay or damage has extended into the internal soft tissue encased within the bone, this soft tissue - called the "pulp" - can become infected, resulting in abscesses and extreme pain. 


A root canal is a solution for this issue, one which involves removal of the pulp and resealing of the tooth. 


Reasons you may need a root canal:


  • Decay due to a cavity that has reached beyond the surface level


  • A chip or crack in the tooth exposing the pulp
