Smile Again With Help From a Restorative Dentist in Murrells Inlet

Even with regular dental exams and care, it’s tough to get through life without some dental damage. Fortunately, your Murrells Inlet restorative dentist, Dr. John Miller, has over three decades of experience repairing problems like broken teeth, decayed teeth, and even missing teeth using dental restorations. Trust us for your dental repair, and we can help you:

  • Smile with confidence again
  • Eat a wider variety of delicious and nutritious foods
  • Look younger, healthier, and more successful
  • Improve your overall oral health

Call The Smile Center today to find out more about our restorative dentistry services: 843-491-5353. Our office is conveniently located at 4539 Hwy. 17 Bypass S. – next to Murrells Inlet Presbyterian Church. Don’t forget to ask about saving on your care with our in-house membership plan.

Fix Decayed Teeth & Improve Your Smile

Our team uses digital imaging and handheld technology called DIAGNOdent to find cavities in their earliest stages. Then we will clean out the decay and use sturdy tooth-colored fillings to repair the damage. In some cases, we may even be able to use air abrasion technology to remove the decay without anesthesia.

Left untreated, dental decay can get into the center of your tooth, rotting it from the inside out. A root canal will then be needed to repair your tooth. We use rotary endodontics that make root canal procedures quicker, easier, and more predictable. This equipment is also much quieter than manual instruments. Once the tooth is cleaned out, Dr. Miller will use the Thermafil technique to fill the “canals” of your teeth.

Protect Your Oral Health With a Custom Restorative Dentistry Plan

As with any of our dental services, we’ll take your smile goals, your lifestyle, and your budget into account when we create a plan to restore your teeth. We’ll make sure you have all the information you need to make the right choice, and we’ll never push a solution on you.

Your restorative dentist uses multiple treatments to repair broken or cracked teeth, depending on the severity of the damage. A dental veneer can fix a minor crack or break. For more serious breakage, a dental crown will cover and protect your entire tooth.

To replace missing teeth, your options may include:

  • Dental Implants
  • Dental Bridges
  • Dentures

Some of these restorations can be used together. For instance, many patients appreciate the more secure fit of dentures supported by dental implants. We will take images of your jaw using our 3D CT scanner to help plan the best solution for your smile.

Stay Comfortable During Restorative Treatment

To keep you comfortable, we’ll numb you with local anesthesia for many restorative dentistry procedures. We’ll use a computerized system called The Wand® to precisely administer your anesthesia, eliminating the initial sting and residual numbness following your procedure. No more waiting hours before you can feel your face!

We also offer dental sedation to ease your nerves. Choose either inhaled sedation with laughing gas or oral sedation in pill form. Either will calm your nerves and help you get the dental care your smile needs to look its best.

Improve your smile with help from a longtime Murrells Inlet restorative dentist! Call us today at 843-491-5353 to schedule an appointment. You can also schedule online.

Common Questions About Restorative Dentistry

What does restorative dentistry include?

Restorative dentistry covers a number of dental treatments that are designed to repair or replace your teeth. These services include tooth fillings, root canal treatment, dental crowns, bridges, and dental implants. The dental experts at The Smile Center use restorative dentistry to give you back a beautiful smile and strong bite.

What does restorative dentistry cost?

Because restorative dentistry can range from relatively simple to complex treatments, it is not possible to give you an estimate on your particular case until we’ve had a chance to examine you, possibly take a few images, and discuss your options. We encourage you to contact us soon for an initial exam so we can get you all the information you need.

What is advanced restorative dentistry?

Advanced restorative dentistry focuses on treatments that are designed to repair widespread damage to your teeth. Rather than a simple tooth filling, advanced restorative dentistry could include placing dental implants and attaching new replacement teeth to them. It could also involve fitting a patient with new dentures to restore their bite and their smile.
