What is a Tooth Filling for Cavities?

When dental decay damages a portion of your tooth, a filling can prevent further harm. Dentists utilize various materials for fillings, such as composite resin, porcelain, and gold. The procedure involves cleaning the decay from the affected area, followed by filling the cavity with the chosen material. This straightforward process helps restore the integrity of the tooth while preventing the progression of decay. If you suspect dental decay, consult your dentist to discuss the most suitable filling material for your specific needs and maintain a healthy smile.

 

What Are Tooth Crowns and Dental Bridges?

Teeth are anchored by bridges and crowns with strong glue so that they can only be taken out by an expert dentist. Crowns serve as dental caps, which help to save decayed teeth from further decay. On the other hand, bridges are used in cases where one or more teeth are absent. They comprise of a line of pontic teeth supported on each side by crowns, placed over remaining healthy teeth or dental implants. What this means is that such a method helps in repairing damaged teeth as well as covering opened spaces left by lost ones making them function well and appear good-looking. Hence, you need to visit your dentist for advice on the best solution for your case.

Like fillings, tooth crowns are of many different kinds. In case you need a front tooth crown, ceramic is the best way for an artificial one to look like a real tooth.

How Many Types of Tooth Bridges Are Available?

Traditional and cantilever are two main types of bridges. Crowns are placed over the adjacent teeth or dental implants to support a row of pontic teeth in a traditional bridge. A cantilever tooth bridge may be suggested, though, if there is no healthy tooth on one side. In this kind, the pontic lies outside the abutment teeth. Should you wish to know more about traditional or cantilever options pertaining to a dental bridge you might be contemplating, get in touch with our dentists, who will take you through that decision-making process so that you can arrive at an informed choice based on your needs alone.

What Happens When You Receive Crowns for Teeth?

Obtaining a new crown usually follows several stages. On your first visit, a dentist looks at your smile and modifies the damaged tooth in order to make it possible for the crown to fit into it. After this, impressions are taken and sent to the laboratory for the making of the crowns. Meanwhile, you will be wearing temporary crowns that protect your teeth until they are ready for permanent placement, which may take about 14 days. The second appointment is when the dentist puts on and adjusts the final crowns so that they can fit well without any hitches. Call our dentists today if you need a new crown; they will help you complete all formalities in an effort to bring back your confidence as well as the beauty of your smile.

What Are the Steps for Getting a Tooth Bridge?

Firstly, a bridge is required; therefore, the first step is to prepare the supporting teeth. In order to provide support for dental crowns, this dentist reshapes them. After that, new casts and measurements are made in order to make certain that the new appliance will fit properly. Therefore, during the fabrication of the permanent prosthesis, a temporary bridge will be given over to you. You then come back after it has been completed for fitting and any other adjustments as may be necessary at our clinic. This ensures a final bridge that blends perfectly with your smile. When you need a bridge or need more information on how it is done, do not hesitate to talk to us about our practice for personalized advice.
