Transforming Smiles and Restoring Oral Health
Our Restorative Services
At Foley Dental Group, our restorative dentistry services are designed to repair and enhance your teeth, improving both their functionality and aesthetics. With our advanced techniques, technology, and personalized approach, we can help you regain confidence in your smile and restore your oral health.
Foley Dental Group is proud to offer modern laser dental treatment. Many cavities can be treated without local anesthetic and without the traditional drill, meaning no prolonged numbness and no shots. Additionally, the Solea laser can be used for snoring treatment, gum recontouring, gum pinkening, and tissue release.
We utilize high-quality materials to restore teeth affected by cavities, ensuring durability and a natural appearance.
Our custom-crafted same-day dental crowns can protect and restore damaged or weakened teeth, restoring their strength and functionality.
Dental implants are titanium posts placed into your jawbone, serving as sturdy foundations for replacement teeth such as crowns, bridges, or full-arch dentures. This treatment closely mimics natural teeth, restoring both the function and aesthetics of your smile while preventing bone loss and supporting long-term oral health. At our practice, Dr. Omran, a renowned periodontist and the Director of the Implant Fellowship Program at SIU School of Dental Medicine, brings exceptional expertise in implant placement. His advanced training, which includes a specialized implant fellowship, ensures precise, high-quality care for even the most complex cases. Dr. Hanser, a general dentist with extensive post-graduate training in dental implants and restorative techniques, leads the Advanced Education in General Dentistry program at SIU. Her focus is on creating natural-looking, perfectly fitted restorations. Together, they work collaboratively to provide seamless, start-to-finish care without the need for referrals or multiple offices. Whether you’re missing one tooth or many, our team will create a personalized treatment plan that not only restores your smile but also improves your overall well-being through cutting-edge techniques that prevent bone loss and preserve the longevity of your remaining teeth.
Advantages of Dental Implants
-
Dental implants are the closest restorative option to your natural tooth. Dental implants allow restoration of single missing or multiple teeth without having to restore additional teeth that otherwise would not need to be restored.
-
Dental implants can be cleaned and maintained just like your natural teeth. Maintenance of dental implants is often easier than bridges or removable options.
-
Dental bone loss begins occurring almost immediately once a tooth is lost, and will continue throughout life. Because dental implants function like natural teeth within the bone, they can prevent bone loss over time, reducing the need for additional dental surgical procedures.
-
Additional procedures (such as orthodontics, crowns, etc.) are often necessary to regain space after prolonged tooth loss due to movement of adjacent teeth. Dental implants can prevent tooth movement into missing spaces.
-
Tooth loss without replacement places more force on the remaining teeth as they attempt to accomplish the same goal of chewing with less teeth. By replacing missing teeth with dental implants, the longevity of your natural teeth may be extended.
-
If you have one or more missing teeth, our dental bridges can fill the gaps, restoring your ability to chew and speak properly while improving your smile.
Our custom-crafted dentures and partial dentures are designed to fit comfortably and restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile confidently. For patients seeking an advanced solution, Drs. Omran and Hanser offer implant-supported dentures, a superior alternative to traditional dentures. By placing implants to anchor the dentures, we eliminate the slipping and discomfort often associated with dentures while significantly improving chewing power and stability.
Unlike traditional dentures, which can lead to accelerated bone loss, implant-supported dentures preserve bone health and allow us to remove the palate from upper dentures, enhancing taste and speech. Whether you are new to dentures or seeking to improve the stability of your current ones, our implant solutions are tailored to restore function and comfort, giving you a nearly natural chewing experience.
For patients with extensive dental issues, our full mouth reconstruction approach combines multiple restorative treatments to completely rebuild your smile.
Dr. Omran’s expertise in surgical procedures such as bone grafting and sinus lifts ensures a strong foundation for implant success, while Dr. Hanser’s focus on advanced restorative techniques guarantees that the final result is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Their combined experience, collaborative approach, and use of state-of-the-art digital technology ensure the highest level of precision and care.
Our unique approach addresses not only the immediate restoration of teeth but also long-term oral health by treating root causes such as bone loss and tooth movement. We prioritize preserving the natural structure of your remaining teeth while rebuilding your smile, providing results that enhance your oral health, function, and quality of life for years to come.
