Restorative Dentist

in Brunswick, ME

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 restore damaged teeth by covering and protecting what remains of your natural tooth. When you have a cracked or broken tooth, these custom caps not only shield the root but also improve how your teeth work together when you bite. If you've had a root canal or dental implant, your dentist will typically recommend a crown to strengthen the treated tooth. With several material options available, crowns help both your dental health and appearance, giving you back a smile you can feel good about.

What sets our approach apart is the time invested in truly understanding your goals. Because The Dental Studio of Brunswick follows a fee-for-service model, Dr. Kieffer can spend uninterrupted time with each patient, ensuring the bridge is customized to your bite, gum line, and long-term oral health. Whether you’ve lost teeth due to injury, decay, or aging, dental bridges reconnect your smile with precision and comfort.

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.

Extractions are always a last resort because preserving your smile is our top priority. However, sometimes a problematic tooth causes more harm than good. In these cases, your dentist may recommend an extraction to restore your oral health. Using gentle techniques and local anesthesia, decayed or damaged teeth can be safely removed to relieve discomfort or make space for dental implants, a bridge, or another type of tooth replacement.

Tired of your dentures slipping and sliding around in your mouth? Implant-retained dentures, also called overdentures or snap-on dentures, can replace all of your teeth, just like traditional dentures. However, instead of relying on suction or adhesive, they are secured in place with several dental implants. These removable appliances make it easy to keep up with your oral hygiene, and are made from a combination of acrylic and metal materials for enhanced durability.
