Dental Crown and Fixed Bridges
Bridges and crowns are fixed prosthetic devices that are cemented onto existing teeth or implants, by a dentist or prosthodontist. Crowns are most commonly used to cover or “cap” a damaged tooth or cover an implant. Some of the procedures are as follow:
-
Replace a large filling when there isn’t enough tooth remaining
-
Protect a weak tooth from fracturing
-
Restore a fractured tooth
-
Attach a bridge
-
Cover a dental implant
-
Cover a discolored or poorly shaped tooth
-
Cover a tooth that has had root canal treatment
Gaps that are left by missing teeth eventually cause the remaining teeth to shift resulting in a bad bite. This may lead to gum disease and TMJ disorders. Bridges are commonly used if you’re missing one or more teeth. They cover the space where the teeth are missing and are cemented to natural teeth or implants surrounding
Dentures are custom-made replacements for missing teeth and can be taken out and put back into your mouth. Dentures can take some time to get used to, and will never feel exactly the same as natural teeth but today’s dentures can be natural looking and more comfortable than ever.
A filling helps to restore a tooth damaged by decay back to its normal function and shape and helps prevent further decay by eliminating areas where bacteria can enter the tooth.
Invisalign is a set of custom-made clear plastic aligners that are designed to shift your teeth into the proper position. About twice a month, the patient switches to a new set of aligner trays, repeating this procedure until their teeth are in the correct position. With Invisalign, you can have the same benefits as traditional braces but the aligner trays are less noticeable, offering an aesthetic advantage. The aligners are to be removed for eating, brushing and flossing, and may not take as long to achieve good results compared to braces.
A root canal is a treatment to repair and save a badly damaged or infected tooth instead versus removing it. The procedure involves removing the damaged area of the tooth, cleaning the area, disinfecting it, then filling and sealing it. The common causes affecting the damaged area could be a cracked tooth, a deep cavity, repeated dental treatment to the tooth, or trauma to it.
If a tooth has been broken or damaged by decay, the dentist will try to fix it with a filling, crown or other dental treatment. However, when there is too much damage for the tooth to be repaired, the tooth may need to be extracted from its socket in the bone.
For the fastest and most efficient whitening, your dentist can offer professional whitening treatments. These in-office methods contain whitening agents in higher concentrations leading to faster results than over-the-counter options. You can expect your teeth to be visibly whiter in just one visit.
Dental veneers are thin shells of porcelain or composite resin that are custom-made to fit over your teeth while providing a natural, attractive look. They can be used to fix chipped, stained, misaligned, worn down, uneven, or abnormally spaced teeth. The two most common materials used in dental veneers are composite resin and porcelain. Both types of veneers can be made by a dental technician in a laboratory and are bonded to the patient’s teeth in a dentist’s office. Dental veneers are bonded to the teeth with resin cement. Porcelain material is fragile but when it is firmly bonded to the tooth it can become very strong and durable.
