Restorative Dentistry in Midland, TX
A beautiful, healthy smile can boost your confidence and make you feel great. Our restorative dental services will help you improve the form and function of your smile, giving you back the confidence that comes from a perfect set of teeth. Our experienced dental professionals will help you restore your smile to its former glory.
Dental Bridge
Dental bridges restore multiple consecutive missing teeth. Although bridges can be either fixed or removable, we recommend fixed bridges supported by dental implants.
Fixed implant bridges last longer than removable dental bridges and make it easier for patients to bite and chew.
Dental Crown
A tooth crown can be used to cover dental injuries, dental implants, bridges, and dentures. Dental crowns are tooth caps made of durable porcelain ceramic that can withstand biting forces and blend in with the look of natural teeth.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium posts covered by an abutment and a dental crown. Implants may be used to restore single or multiple missing teeth. They can be a part of a dental bridge or denture to secure prosthetics. Because of their durability, dental implants can last for many years.
Full and Partial Dentures
Dentures are dental prosthetics that restore full rows and arches of teeth. Like dental bridges, both full and partial dentures can be secured with dental implants. Dr. Courter and his team can examine your smile to determine how many implants are needed to secure a denture.
Gum Disease Treatment
Gingivitis, or gum inflammation, can often lead to periodontitis, also known as gum disease. Dr. Courter provides gum disease treatment to his patients in Midland, TX .
Scaling and root planing treatment can help reverse irritated, bleeding, and inflamed gums. Our dental office can also provide antibacterial rinses and routine dental cleanings to keep bacteria at bay.
Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a condition that occurs when the soft tissues in the back of the throat collapse. This condition can lead to serious heart problems like strokes and heart attacks. Our office can create customized oral appliances for patients with sleep apnea to open up their airways and prevent future health problems.
TMJ Treatment
The temporomandibular joints which connect the skull to the jawbone can cause pain when injured. TMJ disorders are a result of TMJ dysfunction and can lead to tooth and jaw pain, teeth grinding, and frequent migraines. We offer night guards to prevent tooth wear and stop the teeth from grinding together.

How long do dental implants and implant restorations last?
Dental implants are permanent dental restorations that last many years. This means that dental bridges and dentures secured by dental implants are long-lasting. If you accidentally break your restoration, contact our office promptly and we can provide you with a replacement.
What are the best treatments for gum inflammation?
Gum inflammation, or gingivitis, is a dental condition caused by a buildup of harmful bacteria on and around the gums. Some of the best treatment options for gingivitis include routine dental cleanings, scaling and root planing, and antibacterial rinses.
The first line of defense against gum inflammation is proper oral hygiene. For a deeper clean, we recommend professional scaling and root planing to clean plaque from the gums. Antibacterial rinses can also eliminate harmful bacteria.
