Breathing new life into your smile with total restorative dentistry care
Untreated dental decay puts you at risk of serious infection and tooth loss. Fortunately, there are numerous ways to preserve even the most damaged teeth. Ideally, we want to detect and resolve such damage before it gets worse. Even when teeth cannot be preserved, Stephen Huber, DDS, provides many restorative dentistry options to replace them, including single-tooth and full-mouth prostheses with dental implants.
How do you restore damaged teeth?
All restorative dentistry services start with an examination. Dr. Huber examines your teeth and their supportive structures. Technologies like our digital x-rays may also be used to understand your needs better. If we can save your teeth, Dr. Huber may discuss options like fillings and crowns.
What option might be best to preserve my teeth?
A filling is mainly for smaller cavities. Bigger cavities may require dental crowns. For more extensive damage to the inside of a tooth, Dr. Huber may perform root canal therapy. Treatment, followed by a crown, prevents tooth loss by preserving it and avoiding the need for its extraction.
What if my tooth can’t be saved?
Dental implants provide a permanent, stable solution for replacing one or several missing teeth, as well as entire arches of teeth. These devices feature a cylindrical post surgically inserted into the jawbone at the location of the missing tooth. It replaces the missing tooth root and ensures your dental restoration is stable. Made from biocompatible titanium, the implant heals and naturally bonds to the bone. Once the implant is secured in the jaw, the restoration or replacement tooth is attached to it.
What if I am missing many teeth?
We can stabilize a bridge or denture with as few as two dental implants. These options may be on the horizon if you are missing a few teeth, several teeth, or all of the teeth in the upper or lower dental arch(es).
How do implants compare to conventional bridges or dentures?
At Stephen Huber, DDS, we are proud to support many different types of patients with diverse needs. Naturally, we like to provide choices. So, options may be customized to the unique needs of each patient. We offer conventional dental bridges for this reason. Bridges are generally a nonsurgical and cost-effective way to replace a single tooth or a few teeth. The replacement teeth are anchored by neighboring natural teeth. Implant crowns, bridges, and dentures are different; they are designed like natural teeth (with tooth roots).

Discover the Latest Technology Used for Treating a Broken Tooth
What are the newest technologies you use for treating a broken tooth?
Here at Stephen Huber DDS, we’re all about giving you top-notch dental care using the most current technologies and methods.
When it comes to fixing a broken tooth, we use a range of cutting-edge technologies to make sure you get the best results.
We use Digital X-rays, one of the coolest technologies out there. This lets us see a detailed image of your tooth and everything around it. It’s quicker and safer than the old-school X-rays, cutting down radiation exposure by up to 90%.
We also use 3D Cone Beam CT scanning. This gives us a 3D picture of your tooth, which helps us plan and treat with precision. It’s super useful when a tooth is really broken or damaged.
In some cases, we use dental lasers. Lasers can get rid of decay, get a tooth ready for a filling, and even harden a filling once it’s in. This can often be done with less pain and discomfort than the old ways.
When it comes to actually fixing a broken tooth, we use CAD/CAM technology. That stands for Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing.
With this, we can make custom restorations, like crowns or onlays, right here in our office.
The result is a restoration that fits like a glove and matches your natural teeth color.
Lastly, we use top-quality dental materials for fillings, crowns, and other restorations. These materials are made to be strong, long-lasting, and look good.
At Stephen Huber DDS, we believe in using the best tech out there to give our patients the best care. If you’re in Leawood, Kansas or Overland Park, Kansas and you’ve got a broken tooth, don’t hesitate to give us a ring at (913) 469-8884. We’re here to help.
