Our Encinitas Dentist Can Help You With…
Restore The Appearance Of Your Tooth With A Dental Crown
If you have a cavity that has resulted in extensive tooth decay or chipped a tooth beyond repair, your tooth may require a dental crown. Much like a crown that sits on the head of royalty, a dental crown sits on top of a tooth that is almost no longer salvageable. At McElroy Smiles By Design, our custom-made, all-ceramic crowns can do wonders for your smile. In addition to restoring the strength and structure of your tooth, a dental crown can replenish its natural shape and appearance.
With other dental offices, the multiple appointments required to get a dental crown can feel like a lifetime, especially for busy families and patients with hectic work schedules. Here at McElroy Smiles By Design, our dental team is happy to offer an incredible alternative – CEREC digital dentistry. This method allows our Encinitas dentists to take you throughout the entire restoration process (impressions, creation, final placement, and more) in just one appointment, saving valuable time while creating the same exceptional results.
Ask Us About Our Dental Crown Warranty!
Sometimes, despite our best efforts, restorations can fail for a variety of reasons that include new decay, breakage from excessive teeth grinding, or simply biting down on a hard object such as a fork or bone. To help you offset the cost of replacing a cracked dental crown, we provide a 5-year limited warranty on all dental crowns placed in our Encinitas dental office.

Replace Your Missing Tooth With A Dental Bridge
If you have a missing tooth or need to have a tooth pulled, our experienced dentists in Encinitas, CA, can replace your missing tooth with a dental bridge. A dental bridge is used when a tooth can’t be salvaged with a filling or dental crown, but it is still necessary to have a functioning tooth. A dental bridge is comprised of a whole tooth, typically porcelain, firmly affixed between two tooth caps. The tooth caps are affixed to the teeth on either side of the gap. The bridging tooth and caps are designed to match your other teeth, giving you a complete row of teeth and a bright smile.

Rescue Your Teeth & Restore Your Health With A Root Canal
If your teeth become severely injured or decayed, extraction may start to seem like the only option. Thankfully, it doesn’t have to be! Root canal therapy can often rescue your teeth, restoring their health and shape and allowing you to maintain a smile that’s wholly natural. During the procedure, one of our experienced dentists will carefully and gently access the inner chamber of your tooth. He will remove diseased pulp and bacteria and then clean the area thoroughly to minimize the risk of further infection. If your tooth has lost any structure because of disease or damage, we can place a new restoration such as a dental crown to strengthen and save it.
In the past, root canals have gotten a reputation for being painful procedures, but modern technology in the field of dentistry has changed all that! Our Encinitas root canal dentists can ensure that your procedure is entirely painless, and we will help you to minimize any discomfort after you return home, as well. If you feel very anxious about your root canal, we also offer relaxation techniques and sedation dentistry options to help put you at ease. At McElroy Smiles By Design, your comfort is as much a priority as your dental health!

Closely Resemble Your Natural Teeth With Dentures
If the idea of permanently replacing your teeth with dental implants isn’t something you can confidently do, McElroy Smiles By Design also offers the latest advancements in conventional dentures. You can wear your new teeth confidently and brush, floss, and soak them outside of your mouth. You don’t have to worry as much about standard gum disease, either, since your new teeth are no longer directly attached to the gum tissue.
Dentures can be made to closely resemble your natural teeth so that your appearance does not change much. In addition to improving the appearance of your smile, dentures can help fill out the appearance of your face and profile. They also counteract the tendency for facial muscles to sag after significant tooth loss.

Restore The Utility Of A Lost Tooth Or Teeth With Dental Implants
Thanks to modern technological advancements in the field of dentistry, you can now virtually restore the natural presentation and utility of a lost tooth or teeth with dental implants. Dental implants are artificial teeth that are permanently inserted into your jaw so that they look and function just like your natural teeth. Implants can be used to take the place of a single tooth, multiple teeth, or your entire upper or lower set of teeth. A dental implant can also be utilized to anchor porcelain crowns, porcelain bridges, or non-slip dentures. Our dentists are highly experienced in restoring the function and appearance of teeth with dental implants in Encinitas, CA.
Who Might Need Dental Implants?
- People With Loose Dentures Or Partials – Patients who have lost all of their teeth and wear dentures can find it hard to maintain good nutrition. They cannot chew many healthy foods and often must forego some of their favorite foods. By placing just a few implants that can attach to the dentures, you can feel like you have all your natural teeth once again. Implants are secure, look like real teeth, and are very strong. With implants, you will find it easy to smile, laugh, and eat comfortably. You won’t have to worry about your dentures sliding or making noises, either!
- Athletes Of All Ages – Accidents and injuries can cause anyone to lose a tooth or teeth, regardless of their age. If this has happened to you or a loved one, McElroy Smiles By Design can restore your smile’s function and appearance with dental implants in Encinitas, CA. This can be a preferable alternative to getting a dental bridge, which would require grinding down the adjacent healthy teeth to support the bridge.
- Teens Who Are Missing Their Eye Teeth (Canines) – Frequently, our Encinitas dentists see a boy or girl with wide gaps on each side of their smile where their eye teeth are supposed to be. In the past, dentists used braces to push the teeth together, which really messed up the youngster’s occlusion (bite) for the rest of their lives. Today, we can ask an dentist to move the teeth so the spaces actually become larger. Then our experienced Encinitas implant dentists place the implants, typically after the young adult’s mouth and teeth have completely matured. As a result, the young person’s smile not only looks completely normal; their teeth also function and mesh together as if there were never anything wrong!
