Reconstructive Dentistry
A Complete Smile Makeover
At Adult Dentistry of Ballantyne, we know how important your smile is to you. Over time, the teeth are subject to numerous factors which can lead to loss of function and even their destruction. These factors are varied — substandard oral hygiene, genetics, dental accidents, and TMJ are just a few contributors to the degradation of your smile.
Diet is perhaps the largest contributor, as sugars and acids gradually wear away enamel and leave dentin exposed. Dentin is the material that lies just beneath enamel, and is much more prone to decay, chipping, and wear.
Once issues start, they become more perilous the longer they are left untreated. However, Dr. Robert Harrell can implement several dental reconstruction treatments that can restore the function and aesthetics of your smile, giving you a sense of pride that you may not have experienced in years.

Cosmetic Dentures
Dentures are one of the most common dental reconstruction treatments. Millions of Americans use dentures, as they are a simple and affordable way to replace missing teeth. However, dentures often leave many patients unhappy with the appearance of their smile. Like other fields of dentistry, dentures have been the beneficiary of tremendous technological advances during recent years. Still, many dentists do not fully utilize the capabilities of modern denture technology. Dr. Harrell is proud to offer access to every type of denture technology available, and has helped numerous patients improve the aesthetics and function of their dentures. Our patients receive custom-made cosmetic dentures, which have much more realistic tooth shape, color and alignment. Furthermore, the gum portion of our dentures is extremely lifelike and far more comfortable and functional than older variations. We work with our patients to ensure that they are able to speak, eat, chew and smile with comfort and pride.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are the most exciting advancement in the field of dental reconstruction. Replacing missing teeth has always been a challenge due to the limitations of traditional replacement methods. Dental implants have changed the game forever. They’re indistinguishable from natural teeth whether you’re talking about appearance or function. Implants are far and away the best solution for replacing missing teeth.
