Dental Bridges
Dental bridges are natural-looking dental appliances, used to replace a section of missing teeth. They literally bridge the gap created by one or more missing teeth. Bridges are custom-made and thus, hardly noticeable.
Dental Crowns
There are numerous situations as to when a crown may be needed. For example, when tooth decay is so advanced that a root canal is necessary, crowns are typically used to help restore the tooth.
Root Canals
Root canals are one of the most commonly performed dental procedures. In fact, approximately 40 million root canals are performed every year in the United States alone to relieve tooth pain.
Dentures
If you have lost some or all of your natural teeth, dentures can be used to replace your missing teeth, improving your health and appearance. Dentures prevent the sagging of facial muscles, which makes a person with no teeth look much older.
Dental Fillings
It is inevitable that at some point in our lives, the need for a dental filling will come into play. Fillings are used to treat cavities and to repair worn down, cracked, or broken teeth. Currently, there are several types of dental fillings available.
Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last teeth to erupt in your mouth and are the teeth least needed for good oral health. Most people have four wisdom teeth that usually erupt through the gums in their late teens or early twenties.
