Dr. Ellenbogen Reveals 8-Fold Path of Restorative Dentistry, Part 1

Dr. Gary Ellenbogen attributes a large part of his success to careful thinking. In his mind, a superior restoration comes from thoughtful preparation and meticulous organization.

“I have my practice organized in such a way that, should I need it, any and every option is immediately on the table for my patient,” he explains. The newest aspect of this structured approach is the 4th tier of his practice, restorative dentistry. Composed of eight services — implants, bonding, fillings, crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays and crown lengthening — the approach is designed to help his patients quickly understand his diagnosis and move forward with the proper treatment.

“The simplest procedure is the filling,” Mclean dentist Ellenbogen says, “but even a filling can present challenges. That’s why I use metal-free materials, so I don’t have to worry about future decay at the site of a restoration.”

The use of non-metals like high-quality porcelain, acrylics and ceramics are indispensible to the success of other restorations Dr. Ellenbogen places as well. Extended durability for crowns and bridges. Inlays and onlays that seal away bacteria. Bonded teeth that glow with the same artistic aesthetics of the finest porcelain veneers. No matter where decay may be present within the mouth, Dr. Ellenbogen can remove it and replace lost tooth structure with color-matched materials that blend in perfectly with the natural shade and shape of your teeth.

For those with an overly gummy smile, Tysons dentist Gary Ellenbogen recommends crown lengthening, a process where more of the visible part of a tooth is revealed, creating a symmetrical balance between teeth and gums for enhanced beauty.
