Dental Implants
When it comes to replacing one or more teeth, a dental implant is often the treatment of choice and is also one of the most conservative treatments for tooth replacement.
Dental implants are becoming a more popular treatment than dentures or bridges for replacing missing teeth as they provide a longer-term solution, slow down bone loss and preserve nearby healthy tooth tissue.
Implants are bio-compatible posts that replace the roots of your missing teeth. They are physically and biologically designed to attach to your jaw bone and become the foundation for a natural looking restoration.
Crowns
Crowns are prescribed when a tooth or teeth are too badly decayed, broken or cracked to be easily restored with a filling. Crowns are normally needed for teeth that have had root canals. Crowns are also placed on dental implants to replace missing teeth.
Crowns can be made entirely of gold or porcelain fused to a gold substrate for strength and beauty. However, with new technology, crowns can also be made entirely from high-strength ceramic and porcelain for beautiful cosmetic results.
Dentures
Traditionally dentures have been used to replace lost teeth as dentures prevent the sagging of facial muscles and enable you to eat and speak normally. Alternative treatments include dental implants and fixed bridges.
