Dental Crowns
Teeth with excessive decay or large cracks can sometimes be too damaged for a traditional filling. In those cases, rather than extracting the tooth, a dental crown may be used to protect the underlying structure and preserve its appearance and functionality. Think of a dental crown as a deluxe filling which fits over the tooth like a cap. Matched to the shade of your healthy teeth, it blends in seamlessly with your smile, so nobody will ever know you’ve had restorations. In fact, some patients may even forget they have them!

Dental Bridges
When you’re missing between one and four consecutive teeth on an arch, it can make everyday things like smiling, chewing, and speaking clearly a challenge. Dental bridges can fill these gaps, restoring the appearance and function of your smile with one durable, lifelike prosthetic. To qualify for treatment, you’ll need the space in your arch to be surrounded by two healthy abutment teeth to anchor your bridge to, and with proper care and use, can expect your new restoration to last for up to 10 or more years!

Tooth-Colored Fillings
Over 90% of the United States population will experience a cavity at one point or another. At Olberding Dental, patients in need of restorative care for this reason don’t have to worry about diminishing their smile’s confidence with a dark-colored amalgam filling. Our dental office now primarily uses tooth-colored composite resin for conservative, attractive, and long-lasting improvements. There are a variety of different shades to choose from, and Dr. Olberding will match the material to your natural enamel as precisely as possible.

Dentures & Partial Dentures
Extensive tooth loss may seem overwhelming, but it can be overcome with a modern, custom-made denture from our Lincoln, NE dental office. Our team will design the ideal full or partial prosthetic that fits comfortably in the mouth and provides all of the everyday function patients need. Both traditional (removable) dentures and implant-retained models are available. Dr. Olberding strongly recommends the latter in most cases because of its improved stability, lifelike structure, and health-related benefits.
Root Canal Therapy
Severe pain and sensitivity in a specific tooth are usually caused by an infection that’s penetrated the outer layers and reached the vulnerable pulp underneath. Thankfully, extraction isn’t the only option in cases like this. Root canal therapy can remove harmful bacteria from within and restore the tooth’s natural health and strength, helping it stay a capable part of your smile for many more years to come.
