Restorative Dentistry Wakefield
Rebuild a Healthy, Functional Smile Today
Besides a general dentist committed to quality preventive care, Dr. Schumacher is also a board-certified prosthodontist with years of advanced training and experience. Prosthodontics is a recognized dental specialty focusing on the restoration or replacement of damaged teeth with the overall goal of preserving or rebuilding a smile compromised by disease, poor oral health, or traumatic injury. As a restorative dentist in Wakefield, Dr. Schumacher has the services you need to rehabilitate your smile, including:
CEREC Same-Day Dental Crowns
With our CEREC milling unit, you can skip the hassle of messy impressions, temporary crowns, and second appointments. You can get the high-quality restoration you need in a single visit. Dr. Schumacher takes a digital impression of your tooth for precise measurements to design your crown using CAD/CAM software. It is made to match the color, size, and shape of your natural teeth to blend in seamlessly when you smile. Your restoration is cut from a single block of all-ceramic material in less than one hour, so you can walk out of our office with the durable crown you need.
Dental Crowns
A high-quality dental crown can protect a weakened tooth. Dr. Schumacher offers all-ceramic restorations, which are customizable to match your natural teeth. You'll benefit from a durable restoration that blends in with your smile, so only a trained dental professional will know it isn't a real tooth.
Dentures
Do you need to replace multiple teeth or an entire arch? Dr. Schumacher offers traditional full and partial dentures, as well as those that are dental implant-supported. Although traditional dentures have a bad reputation for looking and feeling fake, Dr. Schumacher uses the latest innovations in dentistry to improve their fit and aesthetics. You can smile confidently while eating a wider variety of foods to restore your quality of life. Dr. Schumacher creates the customized treatment plan you need to rebuild a healthy, functional, beautiful smile.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
You can treat your cavities using an alternative to metal fillings. A biocompatible, composite resin material is customized to match the color of your enamel for natural-looking results. The resin is also metal-free, so you do not need to worry about a visible appearance or mercury exposure. Tooth-colored fillings give you a nearly undetectable treatment to stop the damages of decay to save your tooth. No matter if it is a new cavity or you would like to replace an old amalgam filling, Dr. Schumacher has the solution for you.
Root Canal Treatment
If you have a severely damaged tooth, you might not need to have it pulled. Instead, Dr. Schumacher may be able to save it with a root canal. The endodontic treatment extracts the inner layer of your tooth called the pulp. This stops the infection from spreading to the surrounding structures. He then sterilizes your tooth and seals it with a special material called gutta-percha to add strength to its structure. Dr. Schumacher creates a dental crown to place over your tooth to protect it from future damage while reinstating its function and appearance.
Full Mouth Tooth Replacement
If years of poor oral health or a traumatic injury have left you with complete tooth loss, Dr. Schumacher has the solutions you need to restore a beautiful smile. Besides traditional dentures, he can help you enjoy the security of dental implants. Strategically placed implant posts are inserted into your jawbone to anchor your denture. You will enjoy the next best thing to your real teeth using a treatment that can last for several decades.
