Restorative Dentistry Katy TX
If your teeth have been through a lot and require some tender loving care to restore their health, we are here to assist you! We provide various restorative treatments to rejuvenate your smile and make it even stronger than before.
Endodontics (Root Canal Therapy)
If you have tooth pain, it could be due to an infection in the root of your tooth. Dr. Nguyen can use digital X-rays to diagnose the issue. If an infection is found, root canal therapy may be recommended. This procedure involves removing the infected pulp and sealing the tooth to prevent future damage or infection. After the infection is cleared, a crown will be placed on the tooth for added strength.
Although the term "root canal" may sound scary, the procedure is not as painful as you might think. Most patients find that the tooth pain they experienced before the procedure was worse than any discomfort during the root canal. We also offer sedation to help you stay relaxed during treatment.

Dental Crowns & Bridges
Teeth that are cracked or damaged, or those that have been replaced entirely with a dental implant, benefit from the placement of dental crowns. A crown is a tooth-colored cap that is placed over a damaged tooth or a dental implant. It provides strength to damaged teeth and gives an implant the full function of a natural tooth. Crowns also look and feel just like your natural teeth.
If you're missing a couple of teeth in a row, Dr. Nguyen may suggest a tooth bridge. A bridge is used to essentially "bridge" a gap caused by missing teeth. The bridge is attached to crowns placed on either side of the gap, and false teeth sit in place of missing teeth, giving you a complete smile that functions great.
Sometimes teeth crack below the gum line. If this happens, we may need to perform crown lengthening, which is a surgical procedure where we reshape your gums and expose the damage. This allows us to place a new restoration and cover the damage.

Tooth-Colored Fillings
At Heritage Dental - Katy, we only use tooth-colored composite fillings for decayed teeth. These fillings are smaller than traditional silver amalgam fillings, which helps preserve more of your natural tooth structure. Additionally, less preparation work is needed, resulting in less time spent in the dental chair.
Start-to-Finish Dental Implants
Are you looking for a solution for missing teeth? Look no further! Our office offers comprehensive implant services. Dental implants, which are small, biocompatible posts, are inserted into your jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. They provide a stable foundation for attaching false teeth, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures. With implants, you can enjoy a permanent tooth replacement solution without worrying about your restoration slipping or coming loose throughout the day!

LANAP® Laser Dentistry
Traditionally, gum disease treatment was an invasive, often painful procedure. Now, we utilize modern LANAP soft tissue lasers to quickly and comfortably treat advanced stages of gum disease. The soft tissue lasers can remove bad gum tissue, recontour the gums, and help patients have a speedy, stress-free recovery. Another benefit of LANAP is that laser technology actually helps gums regenerate to grow back healthy and strong!
