At Andler Dental, we only use tooth-colored resin and porcelain fillings. These restorations look natural, blend well with your natural teeth, and help rebuild teeth and keep out bacteria. Composite fillings require minimum tooth preparation compared to traditional metal fillings, which can have leaky margins and may crack tooth enamel. They can be placed in areas of new decay or used to replace metal fillings.

Dental inlays and dental onlays, also called 3/4 crowns, can be used to restore broken teeth when fillings aren’t the appropriate solution. Inlays and onlays are often used when there is enough healthy tooth enamel to not warrant a full-coverage crown. We use an on-site CEREC machine that allows us to make and place these restorations on the same day.

Full-coverage dental crowns allow the talented Andler Dental team to restore teeth and make sure they are strong enough for normal use. Porcelain crowns are more compatible with oral tissue than metal crowns, and our CEREC machine can take digital impressions of teeth to create custom dental crowns in just one appointment.

If you are looking to replace one or two missing teeth, dental bridges may be for you. A bridge is similar to a few dental crowns that are bonded together and then placed across the gaps. These dental bridges are then attached to healthy teeth for support and are designed to look like individual teeth.

Modern dental implants are an excellent way to replace missing teeth. Computer-guided CT scanning allows the Andler Dental team to put implants in the right place, which reduces healing times and makes stability more predictable. Dental implants can replace one tooth or all of them to improve the overall look of your smile.

Endodontic therapy, also known as a root canal, occurs when tooth decay extends to a tooth’s inner nerve chamber, or another type of infection or trauma has occurred. Root canals can help save a patient’s tooth and prevent further issues in the future. During a root canal treatment, damaged nerve tissue is removed from the tooth. The inner chamber of the tooth is then sealed off with a dental filling.

At Andler Dental, we are able to perform select dental extractions in our Madison office. When a patient’s teeth are past the point of restoration, minor extractions may be needed in order to prevent further damage to the mouth or surrounding areas from occurring and save you time and money in the future.
