Richard Hughes, DDS, we specialize in a wide range of restorative dentistry procedures designed to help patients achieve a healthy, beautiful, and functional smile. Whether you're missing teeth, struggling with decay, or experiencing other dental concerns, we have the expertise and technology to restore your oral health and confidence.
Our top restorative dental services include:
Dental Implants
Dental implants offer a reliable and long-lasting solution for tooth replacement. These small titanium posts are surgically placed into the jawbone, where they fuse with the surrounding bone to create a strong and stable foundation for replacement teeth. Dr. Hughes is a highly experienced implant specialist recognized for his expertise, including testifying before the FDA on implant classifications. With Dr. Hughes, you can enjoy the comfort and confidence of a natural-feeling smile for years to come.
All-on-4® Implants
Dr. Hughes is proud to offer the All-on-4® implant technique for patients missing most or all of their teeth. This innovative approach utilizes just four strategically placed implants to support a full arch of strong, permanent replacement teeth, minimizing the number of surgical procedures and maximizing patient comfort. All-on-4 implants can even provide you with a new, usable set of teeth in just a single appointment.
Restoring Missing Teeth: Bridges and Dentures
For patients missing one or more teeth, dental bridges offer a seamless way to fill the gaps. These restorations consist of one or more crowns that are attached to the adjacent teeth, bridging the gap and restoring your smile's natural appearance. Dr. Hughes strongly recommends implant-supported bridges whenever possible, as they prevent the bone loss that naturally occurs after tooth extraction.
Our team in Sterling, VA also offers both traditional and implant-supported dentures. Traditional dentures are removable appliances that replace a full or partial set of teeth. Advancements in technology have led to more comfortable and natural-looking dentures that improve both function and aesthetics.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are custom-made caps that cover a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its strength, shape, and appearance. We offer a variety of crown materials, including porcelain, ceramic, and metal, to ensure that your restoration is both durable and aesthetically pleasing.
Dental Inlays, Onlays, and Fillings
For cavities that are too large for traditional fillings, Dr. Hughes may recommend inlays or onlays, often referred to as "partial crowns." These custom-made restorations cover a portion of the tooth's surface, providing strength and durability.
When decay is caught early, fillings are an effective way to restore the tooth's function and prevent further damage. We offer a variety of filling materials, including tooth-colored composites and metal fillings, allowing you to choose the option that best suits your needs and preferences.
Full Mouth Reconstruction
Reclaim your smile and your oral health with a comprehensive full-mouth reconstruction plan! For our patients with significant or widespread dental concerns, full mouth reconstruction offers a complete, streamlined approach to restoring the health and function of the smile.
A full mouth reconstruction can restore a severely compromised smile by combining a customized selection of restorative, preventive, and cosmetic dental procedures into your unique treatment plan. This may involve a combination of procedures, such as implants, crowns, bridges, and cosmetic dentistry, to create a beautiful and harmonious smile. Dr. Hughes uses state-of-the-art technology and the latest dental techniques to provide the best standard of care for every patient.
