Losing a tooth is not something people tend to look forward to. Your overall oral health is harmed by the loss of even one tooth, and your dentist will do whatever they can to protect you from this problem. Unfortunately, some situations will call for them to perform a tooth extraction. People often have their wisdom teeth removed. In other circumstances, a patient can have a tooth removed due to a congenital abnormality, an injury, or complications from tooth decay. No matter what the cause, your dentist can provide the safest and most comfortable possible extraction experience. They can also talk to you about addressing the loss with a prosthetic. (more…)

Your Dental Crown Should Offer Lasting Support
Your dental crown is not meant to make a brief appearance in your smile before being replaced, or removed. Crowns need to exhibit real durability, because if your tooth needs a crown, that need will be permanent. Your enamel can heal after some minor harm, but when the damage grows too significant, that capacity will fall well short of what you need. If you suffer an advanced cavity, or notable dental damage from an injury, that harm is permanent. By fitting that tooth with a crown, you can enjoy sustained coverage. Once placed, your crown is tasked with taking on the pressures created whenever you chew, or bite into food. With the right material, your dentist can ensure that in addition to holding up for a long span of time, your crown will also fit in with your surrounding teeth. (more…)

During your first trip, preparatory steps are taken care of – those steps include the taking of measurements, so you can enjoy a custom set of veneers. When you return, you will receive the veneers, as your dentist will permanently bond them to the front of your teeth. By receiving veneers, you can cover discolored teeth, while also hiding damages, wear and tear, and developmental flaws. (more…)

This procedure is great for tackling a range of worrying problems, but it can also be popular because many patients can see their desired results after just one visit. (more…)
Quiz: How Your Dentist Takes Care Of Tooth Decay
What does it take to take care of a cavity? The first thing to understand is that it will take your dentist’s intervention – once a cavity forms, you will not be able to stop it. They will remove the infected area of your tooth, make sure it is cleaned, and restore what was lost to decay. The restorative dental treatment process focuses on eliminating the problem, but addressing that loss of material is important. Your dental filling or dental crown will make sure your overall dental function is not inhibited by a vulnerable tooth. (more…)
