Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are one of the most versatile restorations in dentistry, capable of addressing a wide range of issues. They’re also often the go-to treatment following a root canal, and in some cases, they can even be used to replace a whole missing tooth. The crown itself is a durable, natural-looking cap that’s placed on top of the tooth in question. Dental crowns can last for years under ideal circumstances and allow the compromised tooth to remain inside the mouth.
Dental Bridges
Dental bridges do exactly what their name implies; they “bridge” the gap left by several missing teeth in a row located on the same arch. The bridge itself consists of a row of pontics (fake teeth) that are attached to crowns placed on the teeth adjacent to the gap. In some situations, the bridge can be attached to dental implant posts. Bridges are ideal for replacing up to four teeth in a row, but any more will typically require something like a denture.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
In the past, metal amalgam was the go-to material for fillings; however, we’re excited to offer a much better and natural-looking alternative! Tooth-colored composite resin can be used to replace the missing dental structure due to decay while blending in with the enamel. Not only is this type of filling far more attractive, but it’s also much healthier for the tooth and less temperature-sensitive. Plus, the resin bonds with the enamel, meaning it strengthens and supports it instead of weakening it over time.
Dentures
Dentures are one of the most tried-and-true tooth replacement options and have assisted countless generations of patients with missing teeth. Not to mention, modern dentures are far superior to the dentures of the past. They fit much more comfortably in the mouth due to their high level of customization and are more likely to stay in place without the need for adhesives. Traditional dentures can be removed so that they can be thoroughly cleaned and easily stored. To give your new teeth even more chewing power, you can also look into having dentures supported by dental implants.
