Restorative Dentistry
Heritage Comfort Dental is committed to offering a full range of dentistry services. Whether you’ve had repairs or need a complete replacement, we recommend continual check-ups to assess your gums and bone density to assess the surrounding areas associated with your implant.
Bridges
If you are missing teeth, you have several treatment options available to restore your oral health and smile. One option we offer at Heritage Comfort Dental is the fixed dental bridge. This non-removable restoration is used to replace one missing tooth or several missing teeth in a row. Your custom bridge will be created to look, feel, and function like your natural teeth for the most comfortable experience. Our Flint, Michigan dentists may also recommend a bridge to:
- Restore function to your bite
- Prevent facial sagging
- Replace an unwanted partial denture
- Prevent the natural teeth from shifting
- Complete a dental implant
- Enhance the beauty of your smile
Over the course of a couple weeks, our dentists can create, place, and adjust your fixed dental bridge. When complete, you will be able to eat, speak, and live life to its fullest once again! For aesthetic reasons, bridges are often made of porcelain or another tooth-colored material. If you are missing teeth and are interested in learning about your tooth replacement options, we invite you to call our office in Flint today. We look forward to answering your questions and improving your smile.

Cracked Tooth Repair
Cracked teeth can cause a variety of symptoms including pain while chewing, temperature sensitivities, and the release of biting pressure. It’s common for pain to come and go, which can make diagnosing the cause difficult.
While you chew, cracked pieces of your tooth move, causing the pulp within the tooth may become irritated. When biting pressure is released, the crack can close quickly resulting in sharp pain. If left untreated, the pulp will eventually become damaged and the tooth will constantly hurt, even when you are not chewing.
There are different types of cracks, and each should be evaluated to prevent tooth loss and infection.
Dental Implants
One of the most effective tooth replacement options available in modern dentistry is the dental implant. Implants are man-made titanium screws that our Flint, Michigan dentists place into the jawbone. Following a period of healing, a custom dental implant restoration is attached to the implant. Depending on your individual needs, your implant restoration could be a:
- Partial denture
- Bridge
- Crown
- Full denture
Because dental implants replace both the roots and crowns of missing teeth, they offer exceptional stability, security, and restoration. To receive a dental implant, you do need a sufficient quality and quantity of jawbone. If you would like to find out if you are an implant candidate, or if you have any questions about implant dentistry, we invite you to contact Heritage Comfort Dental in Flint, Michigan today. We look forward to taking care of your smile and oral health!

Implant Restoration
At Heritage Comfort Dental, we provide implant restoration services when they’re necessary. Our staff knows the signs of implant problems, and we are committed to checking them each time we see you. During visits after having implants put in, we assess your gums, bone density and any part that’s connected to the implant. These checks are in an effort to keep you healthy and catch any problems with the implants.
When you receive implants, we will guide you on how best to take care of them. This will help you minimize problems and be aware if any present themselves. If you think there is an issue with your current implants, please let us know so we can check them.
At Heritage Comfort Dental, we follow our ethical way of doing business when we approach implant restoration. This means that we put your health and well-being first. We always check your implants after we fit them, and we give you the information you need about your oral health and treatments.

Inlays and Onlays
Dental inlays and onlays are considered a conservative method of treating damaged teeth. They are used instead of placing a crown. Some dentists even use inlays and onlays to treat tooth decay. Instead of filling in the tooth, your dentist may use dental inlays and onlays.
Dental inlays and onlays are made in a dental lab and then fitted to your tooth. They are then bonded to your tooth.
