Fillings are employed to restore teeth that have suffered damage, with cavities being the most commonly addressed issue using dental fillings. While older fillings were often composed of materials like silver or gold, modern fillings are meticulously crafted to seamlessly blend with your natural teeth.
A dental crown is a small protective cover positioned over a tooth's surface. When a tooth has endured years wear and tear, a crown serves as a restorative solution, returning it to its original shape, size, and functionality. Crowns are also employed to repair cracked teeth, address cavities that are too extensive for conventional fillings, and finalize the treatment following a root canal procedure.
Dental implants are synthetic tooth roots carefully implanted into your jawbone, seamlessly integrating with your natural bone structure. They serve as a secure foundation for crowns. bridges, or other prosthetic teeth, ensuring stability and a natural appearance. High-quality dental implants not only fuse effectively with your jaw but also help maintain our facial contours and promote gum health.
A dental bridge is an artificial tooth designed to span the empty space between two adjacent natural teeth, effectively 'bridging' the gap. These bridges are secured in place using dental implants or by attaching them to crowns that are permanently affixed to your existing teeth.
A root canal refers to the narrow hollow passage located within the root of a tooth. In the event of an infection, a root canal procedure, also known as endodontic treatment, may become necessary to address the issue. Left untreated, such infections can potentially spread to neighboring teeth, resulting in significant long-term damage.
An impaction occurs when a tooth is obstructed from emerging through the gum tissue, often due to its pressure against another neighboring tooth. Wisdom teeth, being the last set of molars to erupt, are particularly prone to impaction.
Preventive care is fundamental to pediatric dentistry. Dentists may recommend treatments such as fluoride applications or dental sealants to protect your child’s teeth from decay.
When a complete teeth extraction is unavoidable, dentures are the best solution. While historically dentures have been made of some pretty crazy stuff (lead? wood? whale bone?), modern dentures are largely indistinguishable from real teeth.
