Broken Tooth Repair
When you have a broken tooth it can be harmful to your oral health. Sometimes it can lead to infection or decay and can even have a negative impact on the surrounding teeth. At Vaca Kirby Dental we offer broken tooth repair options such as dental crowns, tooth extraction, dental implants and dental bridges – among other treatments.
Dental Crowns & Bridges
When it comes to repairing damaged teeth and replacing missing teeth, two of the most time-tested and trusted methods involve dental crowns and bridges. These have been used for generations because they are excellent at restoring a tooth’s strength and appearance at the same time. With just two easy visits, we can rebuild your smile and restore your teeth’s function.

Tooth-Colored Fillings
Tooth-colored fillings are used to repair teeth that have been damaged slightly by decay or trauma. Rather than using silver-colored amalgam, these fillings are made of a composite resin. This material is strong and malleable, plus it can be specially shaded to perfectly match the color of your surrounding enamel, offering you a clinical and cosmetic solution with just one visit. It also bonds directly to your teeth, meaning more of your tooth’s natural strength will be preserved while it’s being placed, which will increase its longevity.

Dentures & Partial Dentures
When it comes to replacing a large number of missing teeth, dentures are one of the quickest and most cost-effective ways to do it. The dentures of today are much more comfortable and natural looking than the ones from the past; but the end result is still a fully restored smile.
Partial dentures can be used to replace missing teeth that are located throughout the mouth, while a full denture can replace an entire row of missing teeth. For a more permanent solution, they can even be held in place with dental implants.
Root Canals
When it comes to relieving severe dental pain and saving teeth that would otherwise need to be extracted, root canals are actually one of the best tools we have available. Thanks to modern dental care, it’s now practically painless. If you’re suffering from a severe toothache, this should be music to your ears.

Tooth Extraction
While our number one priority is to always preserve your natural teeth, sometimes the best course involves extracting them.
Tooth extractions in Longview, TX may be necessary for the following reasons:
- To replace a tooth that is too damaged to be restored
- To make room for orthodontic treatment
- To make room for dentures
- To replace a damaged tooth with a dental implant
- To remove impacted/infected wisdom teeth
In any case, we’ll do everything we can to make sure you are comfortable during your tooth extraction. We can even offer various forms of sedation so that you can be perfectly relaxed.
