Dr. Cailtlin Spacek at Southview Dental Care helps patients restore and protect their smiles from damage, decay and more. With a gentle, caring approach, Dr. Caitlin works to detect tooth decay right away, and offers advanced solutions to treat it, including same-day dental crowns, fixed dental bridges, and dental implants to keep the effects of tooth loss at bay! From cavity fillings to complete tooth replacement, Southview Dental Care takes a customized approach to offer top restorative dentistry in Moorhead, MN and beyond.
Restorative dentistry offerings at Southview Dental Care include:
Dental Fillings
For smiles that have suffered tooth decay or cavities, our team offers safe, tooth-colored dental fillings to restore the smile. At Southview Dental Care, we offer shade-matched composite resin fillings designed to blend in with your natural teeth!
Dental Inlays & Onlays
Our Moorhead dental office offers inlay and onlays to treat severe decay, weakened tooth structure, need for tooth restoration and reinforcement. A dental laboratory works from this impression to create a restorative inlay or onlay, usually out of gold or porcelain, that fits perfectly on the tooth. Inlays cover one or more tooth surfaces, where onlays are used on the chewing surface of the tooth. Your restoration will be cemented securely into place, for a durable, stable tooth restoration that will perfectly match the rest of your smile.
Same-Day Dental Crowns
For teeth that have suffered cracks, chips, decay, and damage, but remain otherwise healthy, our team offers same-day dental crowns! Each dental crown is crafted to maintain the aesthetic appearance of the tooth by covering its entire visible surface of the tooth, while adding significant reinforcement and protection. At Southview Dental Care, we offer crowns that are natural-looking, durable and custom-shaded to blend in with your smile. Thanks to CEREC technology, you can receive your new dental crown on the same day you visit our Moorhead dental office!
Fixed Dental Bridges
Fixed dental bridges allow our team to quickly restore the smile from tooth loss. Missing a tooth or several teeth can alter the appearance and function of the smile. With fixed dental bridges, Dr. Caitlin and her team can improve more permanent solution than dentures, while preserving the function and appearance of the teeth.
Dental bridges replace missing teeth with artificial teeth. Your dentist will take a mold of the gap where a tooth is missing, and then send it to a laboratory to prepare a customized bridge. Before inserting the bridge, the surrounding teeth are prepared. The bridge is set into place and the artificial tooth is securely cemented to the adjacent teeth, restoring the attractive natural appearance and functionality of the tooth that was lost. If a resin-bonded bridge is chosen, the new replacement tooth will be secured by a metal appliance that attaches to the backs of adjacent teeth.
Dental Implants
For a permanent solution for patients who are missing a tooth or several teeth, dental implants offer a long-lasting, stable alternative. Dental implants become surgically inserted into the jawbone, offering strong replacement teeth that integrate with the jaw, offering the added bonus of enhanced jawbone health.
Dental implants help our tooth loss patients overcome difficulty chewing and speaking, changes to the facial appearance, and more effects commonly associated with missing teeth. With no dietary restrictions, slipping, or discomfort, dental implants offer top-rated replacement teeth that feel just like the real thing.
Implant-Retained Dentures
Implant retained dentures are a tooth replacement option that involve partial or complete removable dentures fixed atop 4-6 implants per arch. They offer a secure fit, natural-looking results, and a healthier design that encourages optimal jaw bone retention. Like traditional dentures, implant-retained dentures are removable and will require daily care.
Root Canal Therapy
Need gentle root canal therapy in Moorhead? Our team will take care of you! The inside of each tooth is filled with "pulp", which carries the tooth's blood supply and nerves. If bacteria gain access to the pulp, through a fracture or deep cavity, the pulp may become infected, leading to pain and a risk of tooth loss.
When you visit Southview Dental Care for root canal, your dentist will remove the infected pulp and replace it with a strong sealant. The affected tooth is then covered and sealed with a protective dental crown. Dr. Caitlin performs root canals to save teeth that would otherwise be lost to infection.
