Restorative Dentistry |
• | Extractions are rarely performed on baby teeth because of how important the baby teeth are to the healthy long-term development of the mouth. Sometimes a dentist will remove an unhealthy tooth rather than let it remain. |
• | Sometimes a child will be born with too many teeth, and we will remove some to allow the remaining teeth to grow in without overcrowding issues. |
• | A routine extraction that many teenagers experience involves the wisdom teeth, as these are often unnecessary in our modern mouths. |
• | As adults, tooth extractions are usually the last choice, as we do everything we can do first, in order to try to save a tooth. |
• | Even when surgery is required, an extraction is a fairly short procedure. |
• | A traditional fixed bridge is made of metal, ceramic, or metal-porcelain fused material. The traditional dental bridge is the most common type of bridge and consists of filler teeth connected by two crowns. A dental bridge is made to resemble your original teeth. |
• | The other type of bridge is the cantilever. Dentists recommend this type for one-sided gaps, as the pontic offers support, one abutment tooth at a time. |
• | Maryland bridges are another type where a framework supports the ceramic or metal fused porcelain teeth. It is applicable for the front teeth on most occasions. |
• | The last type is the implant-supported bridge. These are similar to traditional bridges, except that instead of cement, there are dental implants anchored to the jaw that provide the support for the bridge. |
• | Dental fillings are a great option when a tooth has a small amount of damage or a minor cavity. |
• | By getting your child a dental filling now, you can help curb the need for operations in the future that can be more invasive and costly. |
