Restorative Dentistry

In Culver City

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.

Dental crowns are a versatile and effective solution for restoring damaged teeth, enhancing their strength, functionality, and appearance. In Culver City, Dr. Neda Shafai at Culver Vista Dental offers expert dental crown services to help you regain a confident smile.

Sometimes, tooth decay is too extensive to be treated with a dental filling, but not extensive enough to require a crown. In cases like this, dental inlays or onlays can be an effective solution. Dental inlays are used to restore the grooves between the cusps of a tooth, while onlays cover the entire chewing surface of the tooth. Both dental inlays and onlays can be made from a variety of materials, including tooth-colored composite to improve the look and function of your smile.

Dental implants can be a bit of a confusing procedure. That's because it comes in two parts: the implant and the dental crown. The main thing to remember is that one cannot go without the other. Implants are needed to replace a tooth's root, while dental crowns, bridges, or dentures replace the part you can actually see (your smile). To restore your smile to its full potential and beauty, implant restorations are essential. You deserve to have a set of teeth that you feel comfortable in and we are experts in keeping you smiling for decades to come.

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!

Dentures are a popular dental solution for individuals who have lost some or all of their natural teeth. These custom-made, removable appliances are designed to fit comfortably in your mouth, restoring both the functionality and appearance of your smile. At Culver Vista Dental, Dr. Neda Shafai offers expertly crafted dentures that are tailored to meet your unique needs, providing a natural look and feel.
