Crowns and Bridges
Crowns restore and protect damaged teeth or dental implants, improving strength, function, and appearance. They can:
- Restore a natural-looking and fully functional tooth
- Protect a tooth weakened by decay
- Hold together a severely damaged or cracked tooth
- Cover a tooth after root canal treatment
- Cap a dental implant for a natural look and feel
- Support a dental bridge
Types of Crowns
All-Resin
A budget-friendly option, but less durable and prone to wear and cracking over time.
Metal
Made from strong alloys (including gold), offering durability but lacking a natural tooth appearance.
Porcelain
Designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, these crowns provide both strength and aesthetics. With proper care, they can last a lifetime.
The Crown Procedure
Crowns are typically placed over two visits. During the first appointment, the tooth is prepared, and impressions are taken to create a custom-fit crown. A temporary crown is placed until your permanent restoration is ready. At the second visit, your final crown is fitted and secured for a strong, long-lasting result.
Preventive Dentistry
Preventive dentistry is the key to maintaining strong, healthy teeth and gums. In addition to brushing and flossing daily, professional dental exams and cleanings play a crucial role in preventing cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues.
Good oral hygiene is not just about your teeth—it’s essential for overall health. Poor dental care has been linked to serious conditions such as heart disease and diabetes.
Why Preventive Dentistry Matters
- Helps avoid serious dental problems before they start
- Reduces the need for complex treatments in the future
- Supports overall health and well-being
Everyone benefits from preventive dentistry! Regular dental check-ups at least once a year can significantly reduce the risk of dental issues.
Root Canal Treatment
When decay or injury affects the nerve inside a tooth, it can lead to infection and intense pain. In these cases, root canal treatment is necessary to save the tooth and prevent further complications.
Why You Might Need a Root Canal
- Deep decay has reached the nerve of the tooth
- A large filling is too close to the nerve, causing sensitivity and pain
- An infected pulp threatens the surrounding bone and teeth
During root canal treatment, the infected pulp is carefully removed, and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed. A crown is then placed to protect the tooth, restore its function, and prevent further infection. With proper care, a root canal-treated tooth can last a lifetime.
Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, typically emerge between the ages of 17 and 25. However, most adult mouths don’t have enough space to accommodate them, leading to potential issues such as:
- Crowding – Pushing neighboring teeth out of alignment
- Impaction – When teeth don’t fully emerge, causing pain and infection
- Damage to Nearby Teeth – Increasing the risk of decay and gum disease
- Gum Infections – Due to bacteria buildup around partially erupted teeth
Wisdom Tooth Removal Process
Wisdom tooth extraction is often recommended to prevent future problems. In many cases, teeth are removed in pairs to maintain balance and prevent uneven pressure in the mouth. The procedure can be performed under local anesthesia or sedation for maximum comfort.
Post-Surgery Care
After wisdom tooth extraction, proper aftercare is essential for a smooth recovery. We strongly recommend:
- Pain Relief – We will advise you on appropriate painkillers.
- Mouth Rinse – Use warm saltwater or a recommended mouthwash twice daily.
- Cold Packs – Apply to the cheek to reduce swelling and discomfort.
- Avoid Spitting – Allow the wound to heal naturally by letting the blood clot in the extraction site.
- No Smoking – Refrain from smoking for at least 48 hours to prevent complications.
