Crowns
A tooth can lose its normal shape and size for a variety of reasons. A crown covers your tooth to help restore its original shape and size. Crowns can also be used to make teeth stronger and look better. In some cases that require a large filling, there isn’t enough tooth remaining to keep the filling in place. A crown can strengthen the tooth and hold the filling. Crowns can also protect teeth that are weak, or be used to fix ones that are broken. Discolored or misshaped teeth can be covered by a crown, as can dental implants.
Bridges
Bridges can solve the issue of missing teeth. Similar to dentures, bridges replace gaps in your smile with artificial teeth. Bridges can be made from a variety of materials including porcelain, gold, and alloys. Bridges can be removable or fixed. Removable bridges can be taken out and cleaned by patients, whereas fixed bridges have to be removed by a dentist. Bridges can be implanted to the jaw or under the gums. With so many options, it is important to consult with your dentist about which type of bridge is best for you.
General Dentistry
Our dental clinic understands how busy you are. The last thing you want to do is run all over town to get every person in your family treated to have a beautiful smile. That is why we are proud to offer appointments that accommodate your entire family. This way you can save time and enjoy the convenience.
If you have young children, it’s important that you start bringing them in at a young age. This teaches them the correct way to keep their teeth and mouths healthy. Healthy oral habits last a lifetime, and when children are taught these habits properly at a young age it is much more likely that they will continue to practice the habits for the rest of their lives. It will also teach your children to go to the dentist on a regular basis, and that it’s not a scary place. Our dental clinic is happy to work with your children and teach them these important healthy oral habits.
