\"134124545\"<\/a>If you have a tooth that becomes damaged, then you\u2019ll need a dentist who\u2019s ready and able to help you restore your smile. Dr. Gary Henkel<\/a> at Horsham Dental Elements is that dentist. With years of experience and hundreds of hours of continuing education, Dr. Henkel and his staff offer the kind of restorative dentistry<\/a> that people in Horsham, PA<\/a>, and Philadelphia, PA<\/a>, count on.<\/p>\n

Probably the most common restorative dentistry procedure Dr. Henkel performs is a filling. Tooth decay is something almost everyone experiences at some time in their lives. To repair your tooth, we use mercury-free fillings<\/a>. These not only eliminate the possible concern of mercury in your mouth, but they also help people with metal sensitivity chew and bite comfortably. In addition, tooth-colored fillings retain your white smile as they restore function to a tooth damaged by decay.<\/p>\n

Restorative Dentistry with Dental Implants<\/h2>\n

While there are several tooth replacement options, there\u2019s likely none more natural looking than a dental implant<\/a>. With a dental implant, Dr. Henkel replaces both the root and crown of a tooth. A titanium post is surgically implanted in your jawbone where you have a tooth missing. This post fuses with the surrounding bone tissue to create a solid base for the tooth restoration\u2014usually a porcelain crown\u2014that Dr. Henkel attaches once you\u2019ve healed. Dental implants can replace one or more missing teeth and serve as anchors for dentures.<\/p>\n

Root Canal<\/h2>\n

When a tooth becomes infected, the need for a root canal<\/a> cannot be overstated. A root canal can save a tooth from needing to be extracted. During a root canal, Dr. Henkel removes the pulp and infection from the interior of a tooth. Once removed, the pulp chamber and the connected root canals are disinfected and filled with a biocompatible material. Dr. Henkel will then prepare the tooth for a crown that will provide an added measure of protection.<\/p>\n
