Bring Back Your Healthy Smile

Restorative Dentistry Bismark

Restorative dentistry at our Bismarck practice deals with all that is related to the health and function of the teeth. This includes the treatment of infected or damaged teeth, gums, and surrounding tissue. It also calls for restoring aesthetic aspects of the smile.

Everett E. Heringer, D.D.S.  assisted by our talented team of professionals extends a full range of restorative services. Whether you require a complex procedure or a simple filling, our practice can help. The dentist may also choose in consultation with the patient to incorporate a cosmetic treatment in order to balance the visible results of the procedure.

Restorative Dentistry Services

Full Mouth Reconstruction

The dental practice of Dr. Heringer wants to be your “one-stop shop” for full mouth reconstruction. Patients with extreme dental health problems should know they’ve come to the right place; our caring dental team creates a safe environment to repair the most severe smile conditions with a variety of restorative procedures, often drawing on cosmetic dentistry to complete the process.

Dental Bridges

Our cosmetic dentist can resolve issues brought about by one or more missing teeth with this treatment. A dental bridge essentially reinforces the jaw by anchoring porcelain crowns on either side of a prosthetic tooth or teeth.

Dental Crowns

Porcelain dental crowns act as a protective cap for a damaged tooth. Dr. Heringer can strengthen and shape your tooth using well-matched tooth-colored material. Crowns may also be used as anchors for dental bridges to correct missing teeth.

Conservative White Fillings

Our dentist conservatively fills cavities using white composite or tooth-colored fillings. A much more practical alternative to silver amalgam fillings, which are conspicuous and contain mercury, a known toxin to the body, white fillings are extremely popular with our patients. We can beautifully match the color of your existing teeth with this straightforward option!

Closed Crown Lengthening

Dr. Heringer aims for the most subtle restoration possible when it comes to dental treatment. In some cases, he utilizes laser crown lengthening, non-surgical techniques to meet his patients' goals. The purpose is to expose a greater amount of tooth structure and remove a miniscule part of the bone. Depending on the needs of the patient, the procedure can be employed to make the placement of a dental prosthetic possible or to expose more usable bone structure. The periodontal procedure can often be done in a single appointment, does not require sutures, and allows for faster, restorative results.

Micro Dentistry

Micro dentistry refers to the process of conservatively restoring decayed teeth, usually after cleaning the affected areas with technology such as Waterlase®. The purpose of this prestigious restorative method is to keep your teeth strong and healthy, while removing the least amount of tooth structure possible.

Restorative Orthodontics

Dr. Heringer has the training and experience to virtually correct crooked and misaligned teeth right away! Please ask him about Invisalign® aligners, also known as “invisible braces.” These clear, custom-fitted retainers are as effective as traditional braces, but offer a number of advantages that make them a popular treatment option with our patients. Or you may be a candidate for our Six-Month Smiles® short-term, orthodontic treatment.  Porcelain veneers are another option to mask misaligned teeth even more quickly.

Inlays and Onlays

Typically made from porcelain or composite resin, our dentist can employ this type of restoration to treat mild to moderate tooth decay, mildly cracked teeth, and damaged or old fillings. Inlays are necessary when decay or damage is present in the top surface of the tooth. Onlays are necessary when decay stretches to more than one tooth surface. Inlays and onlays may be alternatives to crowns or fillings.

Other Treatments

Dr. Heringer’s services encompass many more oral health options. For instance, he performs root canals when tissue has become infected in order to save the tooth, or periodontal therapy for more serious disease. He can also treat TMJ disorder, gum disease, and many other ailments that may be diagnosed during your dental visit.
