Restorative Dentistry in Winnipeg: Dental Implants, Porcelain Crowns & More at Linden Market Dental Centre
Restorative dentistry at Linden Market Dental Centre in Winnipeg is a true marriage of technology and artistry, designed to improve both the functionality and the appearance of our patients’ smiles. When teeth are damaged by infection, chipped or broken, or need to be removed altogether, restorative dentistry solutions such as dental implants and porcelain dental crowns and bridges can provide the necessary structural support to ensure comfortable eating and speaking. At the same time, the top-quality restorations used by Dr. Les Rykiss and his team are specially crafted at a boutique dental studio in Charlotte, North Carolina to lend a naturally brilliant appearance to any smile. We invite you to view Dr. Rykiss’ before-and-after photo gallery to get an idea of the kind of results our patients expect, and to learn more about the restorative dentistry options available to the Winnipeg-area patients of Linden Market Dental Centre.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns, also referred to as “caps”, are an effective way to restore teeth that are damaged, chipped, or cracked. Dr. Rykiss and his team also use porcelain dental crowns to seal and protect teeth that have been depleted by infection or that have undergone endodontic treatment in the form of a root canal. Unlike porcelain veneers, which only cover the front surface of a tooth, porcelain dental crowns are designed to encompass the entire tooth, offering peerless protection and a beautiful esthetic effect. Dr. Rykiss and his Linden Market Dental Centre team only use crowns made of the finest porcelain, and work closely with the esteemed Passaro Center for Ceramics in North Carolina to ensure that our Winnipeg-area patients receive restorations of the very finest quality.
Dental Bridges
When a patient is missing one or more teeth but may not be a good candidate for dentures or dental implants, Dr. Rykiss can use a porcelain restoration to literally “bridge the gap” between teeth. A dental bridge from our restorative dentistry team is a replacement tooth crafted of the finest porcelain, and held into place with crowns placed on the teeth surrounding the open space. Not only do porcelain dental bridges complete the appearance of a patient’s smile, they serve an important function by preventing surrounding teeth from shifting position, and they help protect against bacteria and decay that can inhabit the place where a tooth used to be.
Inlays and Onlays
Sometimes referred to as “indirect fillings”, dental inlays and onlays are a conservative way to seal and repair teeth that have been damaged. Inlays lie completely within the cusp of a tooth, while onlays, also known as partial crowns, are used to repair the outer surface of a tooth. At Dr. Rykiss’ practice, our inlays and onlays are crafted from the same natural-looking material used for cosmetic dental bonding, so our patients enjoy a natural finish and cost-effective way to repair teeth that may need dental crowns or other, more extensive treatments.
Dentures
Modern dentures from Linden Market Dental Centre are custom crafted from a boutique dental laboratory in Charlotte, North Carolina, and are a vast improvement over the inconvenient and ill-fitting dentures of the past. Many of Dr. Rykiss’ dentures patients comment that they have never had a better-fitting pair of dentures, which means more ease when speaking and chewing, as well as a natural-looking smile that will stay fresh and bright for years to come with proper maintenance. Dr. Rykiss and his team offer both full and partial dentures, so our Winnipeg-area patients can find the right restorative dentistry solution to suit their needs
Dental Implants
When a patient is missing one or more teeth, dental implants from Linden Market Dental Centre in Winnipeg are the most permanent and comfortable solution. Dental implants are replacement tooth roots that are crafted from bio-compatible titanium and surgically grafted to the jaw bone. Once the jaws and gums have healed, and the artificial tooth roots have naturally grafted to the patient’s jaw bone, he or she will return to Dr. Rykiss’ office to have customized replacement teeth permanently attached. With dental implants, there is no messy cleaning: in fact, nothing more than a good oral hygiene routine is needed to keep dental implants beautiful and strong for years to come. Plus, because dental implants are firmly affixed to the patient’s jaw bone, there is no slippage that is commonly associated with removable dentures; patients enjoy natural speaking and can eat all of their favorite foods without a worry. If you are tired of the mess and hassle of dentures, or if you would like to replace your missing teeth with the most natural-looking restorations, contact Dr. Les Rykiss at Linden Market Dental Centre today to schedule a consultation.
