Cosmetic Dentistry Treatments
Crowns
Dental Crowns : These are “caps” used to restore the functionality of a tooth without removing a potentially bad teeth such as in the case of a broken, worn excessively, or else have had large portions destroyed by tooth decay. After treatment these “caps” will be used to encase the damaged tooth and in in effect becomes the tooth’s new outer surface .
You have the option to select the type of crown you want out of ceramic (shades of white ), metal (metal alloys), or a combination of both.
A crown is recommended by Smiles for the purpose of :
- Covering a tooth after root canal treatment
- Restoring a tooth when a filling becomes too large to accommodate tooth remaining
- Giving strength to a weak tooth and thereby preventing it from fracturing
- Receiving a dental bridge
- Covering a dental implant
- Covering developmentally deformed tooth
Bridges
Bridges will go in place of a missing set of teeth ( gaps created by two or more missing teeth) Should you leave as it is , the remaining teeth start to move towards these empty spaces, resulting in a bad bite and a gradual change in outward appearance. There is an increased risk for periodontal disease and a greater chance of tooth decay in these gaps.
Our dentists will help you decide the choice of bridge you will need based on the location , its function, your cosmetic needs and upfront your budget.
Dental Implants
A dental implant is a mechanical device (usually a screw) that is placed into the jaw bone. It acts as a support mechanism for a false tooth or a set of false teeth. The structure fuses with the jaw bone (osseointegration).
Implants are made of medical grade pure Titanium. Medical grade Titanium is famous for hip replacements and has been in use for many years.
Dental Implants offer several major advantages to patients after tooth loss. The ability to recover the natural appearance and structural strength of teeth is one of the greatest advantages.
- Renewed ability to chew and speak properly
- Restoration of facial aesthetics
- Preservation of remaining jaw bone structure
- Reduction of possible gum problems and infections
- Increased confidence and self-esteem as a result of all of the above.
