Common Restorative Procedures

Most dental visits include routine cleanings and x-rays, but the need for other common dental procedures occasionally arises. We work closely with our patients to plan the right treatments at the right time. Should you need to pursue any of the procedures below, know that you’re in good hands with Lake Superior Dental. Our experienced team handles every patient interaction with care, compassion, and precision.

Dental fillings are a common procedure. Whether to treat decay, minor trauma, or wear, our approach to restoring your smile is gentle and effective. We use aesthetic composite materials that will match your natural teeth. Fillings help maintain your oral health while preventing further complications such as pain, infection, or the need for more invasive treatment. 

A root canal is a therapeutic treatment that is safe and effective. Our modern techniques aim to relieve pain, stop infection spread, and prevent further damage. Rather than extracting the tooth, a root canal allows it to be preserved and continue functioning like a normal tooth. Once your root canal is complete, you and your dentist will determine which final restoration suits your needs. 

When a tooth has reached an unrestorable state, an extraction may be your safest treatment option. There are a variety of reasons you may require an extraction, including extensive decay, trauma, crowding, advanced periodontal disease, or infection. Our team of dentists provides both surgical and non-surgical extractions; however, if your needs are beyond our scope, we work closely with many oral surgeons in the area. Rest assured, our skilled team is here to provide consultations and treatment options for replacing your natural tooth so you can maintain a beautiful and healthy smile.  

We work closely with our skilled in-house lab technician and several outside labs to provide a variety of high-quality dental prosthetics. Our on-site lab allows us to make necessary adjustments or changes without you leaving the chair. Our dental lab designs and fabricates custom prosthetics, including full dentures, partial dentures, bridges, crowns, and implant crowns. Using advanced technology that takes a complete digital scan of your mouth, we provide an accurate, efficient, and comfortable experience.
