Brush up on some Dental Procedures:
If you google dental procedures, you are sure to see these mentioned.
Root Canal Treatment:
A root canal treatment is a dental procedure to remove inflamed or infected pulp on the inside of the tooth which is then carefully cleaned and disinfected, then filled and sealed. Root canal treatment is designed to eliminate bacteria from the infected root canal, prevent reinfection of the tooth and save the natural tooth.
Dental Implants:
A dental implant is a prosthesis that interfaces with the bone of the jaw or skull to support a dental prosthesis such as a crown, bridge, denture, or facial prosthesis or to act as an orthodontic anchor.
Crowns:
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap. Dentists use crowns to restore weak, broken or decayed teeth. A crown fits over your entire tooth, like a snug hat. To ensure a proper fit, a dentist will need to remove a small amount of enamel before bonding your new crown in place.
Bonding:
Dental bonding involves applying a tooth-coloured composite resin material to change the shape, size or colour of your teeth.
Dentures:
Dentures are removable oral appliances that replace missing teeth. There are many types of dentures, including full, partial and implant-supported dentures.
Bridges:
Dental bridges replace missing teeth. They can restore chewing function, enhance your appearance and improve your oral health. A dental bridge consists of crowns (that fit over your natural teeth on either side of the space) and artificial teeth (that “bridge the gap” in your smile).
Dental Veneers:
A dental veneer is a wafer-thin piece of ceramic/porcelain shell that is bonded onto the tooth. This makes them a popular choice when it comes to fixing dental irregularities.
The good news is that they are all performed by our Dental Surgeon.
