If we feel that we are unable to save or preserve your natural tooth, Dr. Martin may recommend an extraction. Tooth extractions may be necessary if you have a severe case of tooth decay or a tooth is damaged beyond repair. These procedures are very common, and our expert team is highly trained to perform an extraction right here in our office.

At Anthony Martin Dentistry, located in Yorktown, VA, we offer dental bridges as an effective and affordable treatment option for patients missing a tooth or teeth. Tooth loss effects over 120 million Americans and dental bridges offer a fast and easy way to fill spaces created by missing teeth. A missing tooth doesn’t only affect the appearance of your smile, but can also cause a variety of other problems.

This is a popular procedure to replace a tooth or teeth. Dental implants offer support for artificial teeth such as crowns, bridges and dentures. They consist of three parts: a threaded post, abutment and restoration. A permanent solution to tooth loss, they enhance your ability to chew correctly as well as improve your overall oral health and appearance.

When it comes to traditional tooth replacement, dentures are what probably come to mind. At Anthony Martin Dentistry, we happily offer partial dentures for our patients who still have some teeth or full dentures to replace an entire arch of missing teeth.

A crown is a dental cap that covers the entire tooth’s surface that is used to either repair large cavities that cannot be fixed with a filling or to rehab a broken tooth. Dr. Martin will shave down a part of your natural tooth in order to ensure a proper fit before placing your new crown.

Thanks to the many advancements in dentistry, root canals are no longer something to fear. In fact, a root canal is a simple procedure where we clean out the infected tissue from the inside of a tooth’s root, then we fill them back in with a rubber like material.
