Restorative Dental Solutions for a Healthy, Functional Smile in Fort Wayne

At Timber Falls Family Dentistry, we understand that dental issues can affect more than just the appearance of your smile—they can impact your ability to eat, speak, and maintain overall oral health. Our restorative services are designed to address these issues and restore your teeth as close as possible to their natural strength and function. We believe this is fundamental to your overall health and wellbeing. So, whether you’re dealing with cavities, missing teeth, or other dental concerns, our skilled team strives to offer you a variety of solutions tailored to your needs and goals. By using the most advanced materials and techniques, we’ll work with you to help you regain confidence in your smile’s appearance while also protecting your long-term dental health.

Fillings

Timber Falls Family Dentistry offers two primary filling materials–tooth-colored composite resin and silver amalgam–to address cavities and damaged teeth. We offer both traditional and modern filling options to ensure patients receive the treatment that best suits their family’s and individual needs and preferences, but ultimately the material used is based on the tooth’s location and your unique case. Many of our Fort Wayne patients prefer composite resin as it bonds directly to the tooth structure, providing a natural-looking, durable solution. However, silver amalgam, known for its strength, is often selected for back teeth when cost-effectiveness may factor into the patient’s treatment needs. Either approach preserves the tooth’s integrity, and with our advanced techniques you know you will be getting a restoration that feels natural and functions effectively.

Crowns

When patients have a tooth that’s severely damaged or weakened, a crown may be necessary to restore its strength and function. At Fort Wayne’s Timber Falls Family Dentistry, we provide beautiful custom-crafted crowns that encase the entire visible portion of the tooth to not only protect it from further damage but restore its natural appearance. Our crowns are made from the highest-quality and most resilient materials, such as porcelain or ceramic, which can closely mimic the look of natural teeth. So if you are in need of a crown placement or replacement to restore function and beauty to your smile, schedule a consultation with your Timber Falls dental team today! We’ll ensure that your restored tooth blends seamlessly with your smile, while at the same time provides the long-lasting protection you deserve.

Bridges

Besides having a profound impact on your confidence, missing teeth can also affect your ability to chew, speak and even the alignment and structure of your mouth. Gaps left open by missing teeth can allow the remaining dentition to shift, leading to bite alignment issues and possibly even altering facial structure over time. A dental bridge is a solid solution for maintaining the proper spacing between teeth, ensuring that your bite remains balanced, and your smile’s appearance stays intact. At Timber Falls Family Dentistry, Drs. Nierman and Dr. Luarde craft beautiful custom bridges that are anchored to adjacent teeth or implants, restoring both the function and aesthetic of your smile. Unlike partial dentures, which are removable, bridges are fixed and designed to be a long-term solution that integrates seamlessly with your existing teeth. Our bridges not only help prevent the shifting of teeth but also preserve your facial structure, giving you the confidence to smile, eat, and speak comfortably again.

Extractions

Although it is unfortunate, when it is determined a tooth is too damaged to be saved, extraction may be necessary to protect your overall oral health. This can be hard for some patients to come to terms with. It is with this in mind that we at Timber Falls Family Dentistry strive to perform extractions with the utmost care and precision, ensuring your comfort and peace of mind throughout the process. Whether you need a simple extraction or a more complex surgical removal, our team is prepared to address your unique circumstances and needs. And for those patients with dental anxiety, we even offer oral conscious sedation or nitrous oxide to help manage any anxiety or discomfort during the procedure. We will discuss all your options for replacing the extracted tooth, helping you maintain the appearance and function of your smile.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are a flexible solution for patients who are missing several teeth but still have some healthy natural teeth remaining. These custom-made appliances fill the gaps left by missing teeth while anchoring securely to your natural teeth. At Timber Falls Family Dentistry, our partial dentures are designed to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth, restoring your smile and making it easier to chew and speak. More importantly, Drs. Nierman will work closely with you to ensure a comfortable, natural-looking fit.
