Cavities are one of the most common oral diseases, so it's imperative we tackle them as soon as they begin to compromise the health and wellness of your teeth. When left untreated, they can cause serious discomfort and may require more invasive procedures to alleviate. Thanks to dental fillings, your dentist can halt the progression of tooth decay in a single visit. By stopping by for your regular 6-month cleaning and checkup, you can prevent new cavities from forming in the first place.

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over a tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and improve its appearance. When cemented into place, dental crowns fully encase the entire visible portion of a tooth that lies at and above the gum line. Here in Saratoga Springs & Gloversville, Dr. Alexandra Porcu at Harrison Family Dentists offers high-quality dental crowns that are designed to look and feel like your natural teeth.

Toothaches are often a sign of a serious infection and can cause serious pain. There's no need to wait in discomfort any longer thanks to root canal therapy. This common procedure can provide you with much-needed relief and restore the health of your tooth. Plus, root canals can save your tooth from an extraction so you can smile with comfort and confidence.

Tooth extractions are a common dental procedure performed to remove teeth that are beyond repair. In Saratoga Springs, Dr. Alexandra Porcu at Harrison Family Dentists specializes in this procedure, ensuring the comfort and safety of all patients. Tooth extractions are typically required when a tooth is severely damaged or decayed, when there is an infection that cannot be resolved with root canal therapy, or to prepare for orthodontic treatment.

There's no need to keep covering up your mouth if a missing tooth is leaving a gap in your smile. With a dental bridge, the space left behind by one, or several, missing teeth can be permanently covered. The bridge is attached to your teeth on either side of the gap, so it won't slide around when you eat or speak. Your bridge also won't stand out from the rest of your smile —it can be color-matched to blend with your other teeth. Keep your teeth from shifting and reduce the risk of bone loss and problems with your bite by asking your dentist about a bridge. Schedule a consultation today to see if a dental bridge can help you complete your smile!

Dentures are a removable, affordable solution that can complete your smile after missing one or all of your natural teeth. To ensure a natural look and feel, most dentures are made of a combination of acrylic and metal and are custom-crafted for a comfortable fit. Looking to see if dentures are right for you? Schedule a consultation to find out if a set of full or partial dentures can restore your bite. It's about time you got back to living your life with a smile.
