Dr. Craig Sommer Talks about Restorative Dentistry

Over the years, you may have realized that you have chips in teeth, you have fillings that are cracked or broken, pieces that just don't feel right. And one of the best ways we can try and take care of that situation is something that's called restorative dentistry. We go through an evaluative process. We can take photographs and show you what's there, what's missing, what's damaged, and then suggest filling replacements. We can use the most natural-looking tooth-colored fillings to replace those ugly, nasty old black ones. If you have pieces of teeth that are broken or missing, we can use tooth-colored crowns to restore that tooth back to good function so that you can chew with it comfortably. Its appearance is restored, restorative dentistry, and improve overall dental health and function by doing that. So if you think you have chipped or damaged teeth, please come into our office so we can advise you of the options available to improve that situation and get you back to good health.

Our restorative dental care will:

  • Allow you to enjoy any foods you like
  • Improve your smile’s appearance
  • Help you speak clearly
  • Fill embarrassing gaps in your smile
  • Protect your teeth from further damage

If you’re ready to repair your damaged smile, call 719-249-5796 to schedule a consultation with Dr. Craig Sommer.

Find the Right Dental Restoration for Your Repair

Whether you have a cavity or a broken tooth, you’ll find a restorative dental treatment that will make your smile as good as new. You may need:

  • Tooth Fillings – To fix your tooth and protect your long-term health, we use only biocompatible, mercury-free fillings. Non-metal fillings also blend easily into your smile, with no distracting silver spots. Dr. Sommer is also certified in the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology’s Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique (SMART), so he can safely remove metal fillings.
  • Dental Crowns – A crown can repair many kinds of damage, including cavities too large for fillings, breaks, and cracks. With digital scanning technology, it’s less messy and more comfortable to make dental impressions for your crown.
  • Inlays or Onlays – These restorations may be a good choice for cavities that are too big to be repaired with fillings but not large enough to require crowns.

Restore Your Smile With Teeth Replacements

Nothing changes how your smile feels and functions as much as missing teeth. We have many teeth replacement options, one of which will be right for you:

  • Dental Implants – Implants can be used to replace any number of teeth. Dr. Sommer both places and restores them, so you won’t need to visit another doctor for any part of your implant procedure.
  • Dental Bridges – You can replace one tooth or fill a gap left by several missing teeth with a bridge. Unlike removable dentures, bridges stay fixed in place.

Here are the services I recieved: removal of 2 molars, gingivitis cleaning, amalgam removal, 2 crowns and a couple fillings. I will start this review with my dental hygienist. I don't remember her name but she was great! She was kind and friendly, very informative on the health of my gums. She even recommended that I purchase a water pik to clean the deep pockets that were a concern. I have gone to several hygienist and have never been recommended to use the water pik before. I love the feeling after I cleanse my gums with the pik. My review on Dr. Sommers: on my first visit with him he explained all the findings on the health of my teeth and made his recommendations. I opted to have 2 molars removed because I didn't want to have a diseased tooth in my mouth causing me problems. I chose to have the top molar removed because it would have to be removed later on because of the missing tooth below. I chose to save myself any problems with that tooth later on. On to the revival of the tooth. He was great! I had a bad experience with tooth removal in the past and so I was very nervous and anxious. But his assistant was great in checking on me and making sure I was okay. Dr. Sommers was gentle but firm in the removal of the teeth, that they came out without having to be broken. Next, was the amalgam removal. That was not a fun process but it needed to get done. He did a great job removing the amalgam and cleaning and prepping the teeth for the crowns. His assistants were all fantastic, they took the necessary pictures for the crowns. I was very happy with my crowns. The office is clean and all the staff is friendly. I really appreciated the follow up phone calls from Dr. Sommers. I will definitely be coming back and recommending them to friends.

I went to another dentist "group" in the springs area and they gave me 5 fillings, one of which, on the day of my appointment decided "oh this needs a root canal". They did not state this in the EXAM, and I was really upset. I had to go over 2 weeks, with a temp filling in a tooth that gave me so much pain I lived on aspirin. Thus began my search for a better dentist. I was already filled with anxiety, the previous dentist just ground out my mercury filling and it went literally everywhere on my mouth. It was horrible!! My experience with Craig has been nothing but amazing. I feel relaxed and comfortable when I come in, he SAVED my tooth that the previous place needed to do a root canal on. I have no pain, I have my real tooth with a partial crown, all the work that's been done by Craig and his team has been amazing. When he removed one of my other mercury fillings, he covered my mouth with this rubber isolating thing (lol I don't know what it's called), that isolated the one tooth and protected my mouth. He put an oxygen mask on my nose to protect the air I breathe and had this machine that sucked the air near the extraction. I was impressed. Overall, he is patient, he listens to you, he doesn't make you feel like he's trying to rush you out the door to get to the next patient, he does ALL the work and makes sure it's done perfectly. He constantly asks if you're comfortable, even if you say yes he will ask again just to be sure. He really cares and you can see that. I recently moved to Arizona, but I've been going back to Colorado just so I can continue working with Craig, it's going to suck when he retires because he truly is one of the best.

You can go to 1,000 dentists and you'll never find one like Dr. Sommer. He is a true master of dentistry. He is extremely gentle, patient, and knowledgeable. He takes as much time as he needs to do the job correctly, and pays attention to the most minute details. When I visit his office, I feel like I'm at a spa - I'm always relaxed, the staff makes me feel comfortable, and I can fully trust them to do their jobs correctly and give me the information I need. They always take the time to explain what they're doing, they will continually check on your comfort levels to make sure you're doing alright, and they're happy to stop or give you extra numbing during a procedure should you need it. The other day I showed up to my appointment the day before it was actually scheduled. It takes me about 50 minutes round trip to get from work to their office and back, and since it was already 4pm, it was too late for me to go back to work, and I couldn't request to leave early 2 days in a row....so they took me in after hours. I was completely floored that they would do that when it was MY mistake. I have never in my life been treated with the level of customer care that they take in this office. I could not recommend them highly enough!
