Renew the health and beauty of your smile with our advanced restorative treatments at Gateway Oaks Dental! Dr. Truong has created a dental office environment that makes every treatment more comfortable and accessible. Because we understand the impact of tooth damage and loss, we are committed to advanced, comfortable restorative dentistry treatments that rebuild the health, function, and natural beauty of each smile.
With precise care, top technologies, and a welcoming environment, Dr. Truong offers solutions for repairing a single tooth or replacing multiple missing teeth. We even have advanced options for same-day treatments! Our top restorative dentistry services in Sacramento include:
Same-Day Dental Crowns
Thanks to our in-house dental mill, our team offers same-day dental crowns! Convenient, same-day restorations allow us to restore your smile on the very same day as your appointment, saving you time spent in the dentist's chair. With our advanced milling technology, we can design, create, and place high-quality, natural-looking dental crowns in just one appointment. Same-day dental crowns allow us to quickly treat teeth that are damaged, decayed, or weakened, all while you wait comfortably in our office.
Dental Fillings
Dental fillings are essential to treating cavities and restoring the integrity of your tooth. Dr. Truong uses tooth-colored (composite) filling materials that blend seamlessly with your natural tooth structure. This not only repairs the damage and prevents further decay but also maintains the aesthetic harmony of your smile.
Root Canal Therapy
If an infection develops due to decay, a crack, or trauma, we use root canal therapy to save the tooth from extraction. To complete a gentle root canal, Dr. Truong carefully removes the infected pulp, cleans and disinfects the inside of the tooth, and then fills and seals it. With root canal therapy, our team works to relieve the pain caused by a dental infection and allow you to keep your natural tooth.
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is a fixed solution used to replace one or more consecutive missing teeth. Consisting of artificial teeth anchored by crowns on adjacent natural teeth or dental implants, bridges effectively "bridge the gap" left by tooth loss. Bridges restore your ability to chew and speak properly, prevent remaining teeth from shifting, and restore the complete, balanced appearance of your smile.
Dental Implants
Considered the gold standard for tooth replacement, dental implants offer a permanent and highly natural-feeling solution for missing teeth. An implant consists of a titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as a durable tooth root replacement. This post then supports a custom-made dental crown, bridge, or denture, providing unmatched stability and preserving jawbone health. Our implant dentist offers solutions for any number of lost teeth, including single implants, mini implants, All-on-4 implants, and hybrid implant dentures.
- Mini Implants. These smaller-diameter implants are a versatile option, particularly beneficial when bone density or space is limited. Mini implants are often used to provide exceptional stability for removable dentures, offering a less invasive and quicker path to a more secure smile.
- All-on-4® Implants. All-on-4 can replace an entire arch of missing teeth using just four strategically placed implants. The All-on-4 method maximizes existing bone, often eliminating the need for extensive bone grafting, and can frequently allow for the immediate placement of a temporary set of teeth, restoring your smile's function and appearance in a single visit.
- Hybrid Implants (Implant-Supported Fixed Dentures). For those seeking a non-removable solution for an entire arch of missing teeth, hybrid implants combine the benefits of implants with a fixed prosthetic. This custom-designed restoration is securely attached to a specific number of implants (often 4-6), providing a permanent, stable, and highly aesthetic full arch of teeth that looks and functions very much like natural teeth. This option feels less bulky than traditional dentures and allows you to experience the full taste of your food.
Implant-Supported Removable Dentures
For those who prefer a removable tooth replacement solution but are looking for more stability compared to traditional dentures, implant-supported removable dentures are an excellent choice. These dentures snap onto a few strategically placed implants, eliminating slipping and boosting everyday comfort.
Removable Dentures (Complete & Partial)
For patients missing several teeth in one arch, or all of their teeth, traditional removable dentures offer a reliable, trusted solution. Complete dentures replace an entire arch of teeth, while partial dentures are recommended for patients who have natural teeth remaining. Custom-made removable dentures allow you to restore the full function and appearance of your smile at your convenience.
At Gateway Oaks Dental, we're also proud to offer digital dentures, crafted with advanced imaging systems and CAD/CAM technology. We've invested in the latest digital tools to ensure your dentures are precisely fitted and designed to meet your needs. At your consultation, we'll help you determine if full or partial digital dentures are right for you!
Dental Inlays and Onlays
Dental inlays and onlays offer conservative restoration for decayed or damaged teeth. Inlays can be used to fill space within the rounded points of a tooth, restoring its chewing surface, while inlays typically cover and fill a larger area. They are often considered a middle ground between dental fillings and crowns, used to address moderate to severe tooth damage from large cavities and minor fractures. At Gateway Oaks Dental, we use durable, tooth-colored materials to ensure your inlay or onlay perfectly blends with your smile.
Sinus Lift and Augmentation
Our dentist offers sinus lift surgery to help patients regain the bone structure required for successful dental implant placement. Dental implants require a certain amount of healthy jawbone to be successfully anchored. If patients have experienced bone loss due to dental extractions or periodontal disease, a sinus lift or augmentation may be recommended to add bone to the upper jaw. This procedure may also be recommended if the sinuses are too close to the upper jaw to adequately support dental implant placement.
To perform a sinus lift, our dentist will create a small opening in the bone and lift the sinus membrane to create space for bone graft material. After a healing period, the graft will fuse with the existing bone, resulting in a healthy foundation for the placement of your new dental implants.
