Restorative Dentistry

In Wheeling

Cavities are one of the most common oral diseases, so it's imperative we tackle them as soon as they begin to compromise the health and wellness of your teeth. When left untreated, they can cause serious discomfort and may require more invasive procedures to alleviate. Thanks to fillings, your dentist can halt the progression of tooth decay in a single visit. By stopping by for your regular 6-month cleaning and checkup, you can prevent new cavities from forming in the first place.

No one wants to deal with a broken, cracked, or badly decayed tooth. It’s painful, stressful, and disruptive — but same-day crowns make restoring your smile fast and convenient. With this technology, you can skip temporary restorations and avoid the long wait for a traditional crown. Each same-day crown is custom-crafted from durable, high-quality materials and carefully color-matched to blend naturally with your surrounding teeth. Thanks to our advanced digital imaging and CAD/CAM technology, the entire process takes two hours or less, so you can walk out with a fully restored smile the very same day.

White zirconia crowns offer durable protection with a more natural-looking appearance. Made from a strong tooth-colored material, they can be a great option for patients who need lasting coverage while still wanting their restoration to blend in with their smile.

Stainless steel crowns are a durable, protective option often used for children’s teeth that need more support than a filling can provide. At Alto Dental, we may recommend a stainless steel crown when a tooth has significant decay, has been treated with a pulpotomy, or needs reliable coverage to stay functional until it naturally falls out.

We know a toothache is more than just annoying, it can stop you in your tracks. That throbbing pain might be signaling an infection deep inside your tooth, but here's the good news: root canal therapy can get you out of pain and back to feeling like yourself again. During your treatment, we'll gently remove the infected tissue from inside your tooth, clean everything out thoroughly, and seal it up to protect it from future problems. From there, we'll restore your tooth with a filling or crown so it looks and feels natural. The best part? You get to keep your real tooth. No extraction, no gap in your smile, and no need for more complicated (and costly) replacements down the road. Root canal therapy isn't just about relieving pain, it's about giving your smile a second chance.

There's no need to keep covering up your mouth if a missing tooth is leaving a gap in your smile. With a dental bridge, the space left behind by one, or several, missing teeth can be permanently covered. The bridge is attached to your teeth on either side of the gap, so it won't slide around when you eat or speak. Your bridge also won't stand out from the rest of your smile — it can be color-matched to blend with your other teeth. Keep your teeth from shifting and reduce the risk of bone loss and problems with your bite by asking your dentist about a bridge. Schedule a consultation today to see if a dental bridge can help you complete your smile!

If you've suffered from severe dental trauma, have lost many teeth, or are dealing with a variety of dental difficulties, full mouth-rehabilitation may be right for you. Throughout a variety of treatments and procedures planned out by your dentist, full mouth-rehabilitation can completely restore your overall health and boost your confidence.

Dental implants are a long-term solution for replacing missing teeth with strength, stability, and a natural look. By replacing both the tooth root and the visible tooth, implants help restore comfortable chewing, clear speech, and confidence in your smile. They can also support your long-term oral health by helping preserve the jawbone after tooth loss. Whether you are missing one tooth or several, dental implants can help you feel more like yourself again.

Dentures are a removable, affordable solution that can complete your smile after missing one or all of your natural teeth. To ensure a natural look and feel, most dentures are made of a combination of acrylic and metal and are custom-crafted for a comfortable fit. Looking to see if dentures are right for you? Schedule a consultation to find out if a set of full or partial dentures can restore your bite. It's about time you got back to living your life with a smile.

Missing just a few teeth? Partial dentures may be the right choice for you. Partial dentures look natural, are removable, and can be a great solution to restoring the function of your teeth and jaw. Make the first step in restoring your smile by booking a consultation.

This allows you to breathe, swallow, and speak without a problem. The procedure may sound scary, but we assure you that it's a simple procedure that releases the excessive tissue from lip or tongue ties in just a single visit.

By choosing this treatment, we can restore your little one's oral health and bring back their bright smile, allowing them to continue enjoying all the laughter and carefree moments of childhood.
