    Implants

    Dental implants are a long-term solution for replacing missing teeth, consisting of a titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. Once healed, a crown is attached to the post, providing a natural-looking and functional replacement that closely mimics the feel and appearance of a real tooth. In addition, dental implants can help stabilize dentures and partials in cases where limited or no teeth are available.

    Crown vs bridge

    A crown is a type of dental restoration that covers or "caps" a damaged tooth. It's like putting a protective shell over a tooth that’s been weakened by decay, a large filling, or a crack. It’s designed to fit perfectly over the tooth and can be made from materials like porcelain, ceramic, or metal.

    A bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth. It works by anchoring a false tooth (or teeth) in the gap where the missing tooth used to be. The false tooth is held in place by crowns on the teeth next to the gap. This "bridges" the space, restores your bite, and improves the look of your smile.

    Both crowns and bridges are fixed in place, meaning they are cemented onto your teeth and are not removable like dentures. They help restore function, making it easier to chew and speak, while also protecting your remaining teeth. With the advents in dental technology we can now eliminate the traditional impressions with the "goopey" material and scan digitally your mouth in office to assure the best precision fit for years to come.

    Dentures vs partials

    Full Dentures restore function and aesthetics when no natural teeth are left. They provide full arch support for chewing and speaking but rely solely on the gums for stability. Without tooth anchorage the stability of dentures is sometimes compromised without dental implant support.

    Partial Dentures are a restorative option for when some natural teeth are still healthy. They not only restore missing teeth but also help prevent the remaining teeth from shifting. Since partials are supported by both your natural teeth and the gums, they tend to offer more stability than full dentures.

    In restorative dentistry, both options help to restore the function of your teeth, improve speech and appearance, and maintain oral health. However, partial dentures allow for better distribution of chewing forces due to the presence of natural teeth, while full dentures rely entirely on the underlying bone and gums for support.

    Fillings

    Fillings and sealants are common dental treatments used to protect and restore teeth. Fillings are used to repair cavities or damaged teeth by filling the affected area with a durable material, such as composite resin or amalgam, to restore the tooth's structure and function. Sealants, on the other hand, are a preventive measure, involving the application of a thin, protective coating to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, creating a barrier that helps prevent cavities by keeping out food particles and bacteria.

    Full mouth rehabilitation

    Or full mouth rehab for short is a comprehensive dental treatment plan designed to restore the health, function, and aesthetics of your entire mouth. This process involves a combination of dental procedures, such as crowns, bridges, veneers, implants, and sometimes orthodontics, to address issues like damaged or missing teeth, bite problems, and gum disease. Full mouth rehab is personalized to each patient, ensuring that their smile is fully restored to optimal condition, improving not just appearance but also overall oral health and quality of life.
