One of the keys to the long-term success of your restoration and the health of your gums is the accuracy of the fit. This is especially true where the restoration meets the tooth.
When everything is ideal, there is a seamless transition where the tooth and the filling or crown meet. When a restoration is too bulky where it meets your tooth, we call it an overhang. Overhangs can cause a lot of damage in a short amount of time because they:
- Trap food and bacteria
- Make it difficult or impossible to floss
- Can contribute to periodontal disease and cavities
- Can lead to long-term bone loss
What are Overhangs?
Over time, silver amalgam fillings can absorb moisture and change from their original shape. Challenges and technique problems at the time of placement may also be the cause of overhangs. Whatever their origin, overhangs must be corrected. In most cases,this requires removal of the old filling or crown and replacement with a new one that fits properly.
Overhangs are a serious problem and a threat to the health of your teeth and gums. Let us know if you ever have difficulty flossing, or if your floss catches or tears. We can avoid many serious problems by finding and replacing any restorations that have overhangs.

Our goal is to help you prevent tooth decay and keep your natural teeth for a lifetime. That's why we want you to understand the process of tooth decay, from start to finish. Armed with this knowledge, you can take steps to stop tooth decay in its tracks.
Bacteria and sugar are the culprits ...
Thousands of bacteria exist in everyone's mouth. Most of these bacteria are beneficial. But there are two types of bacteria, mutans streptococcus and lactobacillus, that are the primary culprits in the tooth decay process. If you're not brushing and flossing regularly, or if your oral environment is out of its natural balance, these bacteria reproduce quickly in your mouth, establishing huge colonies whenever they're given the opportunity to feast on foods that contain sugar.
Sugars, which are the building blocks of starchy foods like pasta, crackers, bread, and sweets, can build up on your teeth if you don't brush regularly. This sugar buildup is one component of plaque, a sticky film of saliva, food debris, and bacteria that's constantly forming on your teeth. If it's not removed, plaque mineralizes and can turn into rock-hard tartar in as little as 24 hours.
To survive and multiply in your mouth,the decay-causing bacteria feed off of the simple sugars that are produced from the starches you eat. This causes a chemical reaction in which the sugars are broken down into simpler elements. One of these elements is an acid. As you probably know, acid breaks down many things, including your tooth enamel. Every time you eat a starchy food, your teeth are bathed in this acid for 20 minutes or more.
The process of decay
The acid slowly dissolves the hard, protective enamel layer on your teeth, forming a demineralized area that appears as a white or brown spot on your tooth. That spot is the first visible sign of tooth decay. If the a

When teeth are missing, a fixed bridge is a good choice for replacing them. A dental bridge is a great way to maintain a stable bite and restore your beautiful smile. It can also prevent a chain reaction of problems, including
shifting teeth.
- difficulty keeping teeth free of plaque and bacteria.
- loss of bone in the jaw.
- difficulty chewing.
- grinding and clenching.
- pain in the jaw joint, the TMJ.

Trying a partial denture
A partial denture is a removable replacement for missing teeth. It may work well if several teeth are missing throughout your mouth because it fills in the spaces and restores your bite.
Getting implants
An implant with a crown can also replace a tooth, and it doesn't require us to work on the teeth next to the space. Implants stop bone loss and require surgery. Treatment time is somewhat longer.
Choosing a dental bridge
A dental bridge is an excellent way to replace one or more missing teeth and restore stability to your mouth. A bridge is a natural replacement that is attached securely to the supporting teeth. They are dependable, easy to care for, and they look great.
Delaying treatment
If you choose to do nothing, your teeth will shift, your bite will change, and you will eventually lose additional teeth. That is why we recommend an option such as
a bridge. A bridge will fill the space and restore your natural bite and smile.
