Fillings
Fillings are used to treat cavities, which are small holes that form in the teeth due to decay. The filling material is used to fill in the hole and restore the tooth to its original shape and function. There are several different types of filling materials that can be used, including composite resin (to match the color of the tooth), porcelain and gold.
Crowns
Crowns are also known as caps and are used to cover a tooth that is damaged or decayed. They are also used to protect a weak tooth from breaking or to hold together parts of a cracked tooth. Crowns can be made from different materials such as metals, porcelain-fused-to-metal, ceramic or resin.
Bridges
Bridges are dental appliances that are used to replace one or more missing teeth. A bridge consists of two crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap (abutment teeth) and false tooth/teeth in between (pontic tooth/teeth). Bridges can be made from different materials such as gold alloys, base metal alloys, porcelain-fused-to-metal or all-ceramic.
Dental Implants
Implants are artificial Roots that are placed into the jawbone to support artificial teeth (crowns). They provide a long-term solution for missing teeth as they fuse with the jawbone over time. Implants can be made from different materials such as titanium or zirconium oxide.
Root Canals
Root canals are often necessary when the pulp inside the tooth becomes infected or inflamed due to decay or injury. During a root canal procedure, the infected pulp is removed from inside the tooth and the area is cleaned out before being sealed. Root canals usually involve one or more visits to the dentist.
