Getting the care you need

Restore your damaged or missing teeth

Whether you have a missing or damaged tooth, Dr. Blalock at Lakeside Dental in Lenoir City is here to help. As an experienced restorative dentist, Dr. Blalock can restore your smile and your bite after you’ve lost or damaged one or more of your teeth. We proudly serve patients in Lenoir City, Tellico Village, and Loudon. To get started, call to schedule your consultation today! A tooth that is damaged or missing can lead to further oral health issues, interfere with chewing, and negatively affect your self-esteem. At Lakeside Dental, we offer restorative care such as dental crowns, root canals, and fillings to provide you with the treatment you need to get back to your day-to-day life.

Restorative services

Composite fillings

Composite fillings are made of strong, tooth-colored dental resin and are a great choice for filling cavities. Composite fillings provide a durable hold and since they can be matched perfectly to the color of your enamel, they will blend in seamlessly with the rest of your smile.

Root canal therapy

We offer root canal therapy for both front (anterior) and rear (posterior) teeth. Root canals are used to treat infected teeth. During root canal therapy, Dr. Blalock will sterilize your tooth to treat the infection and remove damaged and decayed enamel from its interior. A root canal will relieve the pain and discomfort of a severe toothache, preserve your natural tooth, and prevent the need for an extraction.

Dental crowns

Dental crowns restore a damaged or decayed tooth. These dental prosthetics are shaped just like natural teeth and cover a damaged tooth all the way to the gum line. We offer same-day CEREC crowns that are made in our office for a more convenient restoration. Dental crowns are designed to protect your tooth from further damage and restore its shape and appearance. Dental crowns are often recommended for teeth that have been cracked, chipped, or treated with root canal therapy.

Full & partial dentures

Partial dentures clip onto your healthy teeth and support one or more false teeth, restoring the aesthetics and function of your smile after tooth loss. Full dentures fit directly over your gums, restoring the entire upper, lower or both arches of teeth. Both full & partial dentures allow for fast treatment time, eliminate the risk of teeth shifting, and restore your natural smile and bite.

Sedation options

At Lakeside Dental, we offer laughing gas to help even anxious patients stay relaxed and pain-free. The gas is delivered through a comfortable nose mask that you will wear during your appointment. As you breathe in, you will begin to feel floaty and giddy. Because laughing gas is an analgesic, you will feel no pain. The effects wear off quickly, so you will be able to go back to your normal day-to-day routine after your treatment.

The restorative treatment process

1

Schedule your consultation

Getting started is easy. Give us a call at 865-635-4999 or book an appointment online, and our friendly team will help you find a time that works for your schedule. We welcome new patients and families from Lenoir City, Loudon, Tellico Village, and surrounding areas.

2

Comprehensive exam and diagnosis

Dr. Blalock will perform a thorough exam of your teeth, gums, and oral tissues, using digital x-rays to get a complete picture of your oral health. Even a hairline crack or fracture that may be invisible to the naked eye can lead to further decay and damage, so a detailed evaluation is an important first step. From there, Dr. Blalock will explain your diagnosis clearly and answer any questions you may have.

3

Personalized treatment plan

Based on your exam findings, Dr. Blalock will recommend the restorative treatment that best fits your needs, whether that is a composite filling, dental crown, root canal therapy, dentures, or another solution. If you experience dental anxiety, we will also discuss sedation options to ensure your comfort throughout the process.

Restorative treatment and follow-up care

Once your treatment plan is in place, we will get to work restoring your smile.
