Common Procedures Bonding is a conservative treatment for crooked, discolored, or slightly chipped teeth. A white filling is put on your tooth during dental bonding to make it look better. Because it is available in a variety of tooth-colored shades, the filling closely resembles the appearance of your natural teeth and "bonds" with your tooth.
In place of silver amalgam, tooth bonding can also be utilized for tooth fillings. Due to the fact that the white color is much less noticeable than silver, bonded fillings are preferred by many patients. Depending on the location and extent of tooth decay, bonded fillings can be used on either the front or back teeth.

Bonding typically requires only one visit to our office and is less expensive than other cosmetic procedures. Bonding, on the other hand, can stain and is easier to break than porcelain veneers or other cosmetic treatments. Inform your doctor if it does fracture or chip. In most cases, the bonding can be patched or fixed in one visit.
Bridges:
A bridge looks great, replaces missing teeth, and literally fills in the space where one or more teeth might have been. Your bridge, which is bonded to the teeth around it for support, can be made of gold, porcelain, alloys, or a combination of these materials.
The foundation of a bridge is crucial to its success:
the bone, gums, or other teeth to which it is attached. As a result, maintaining the health and strength of your existing teeth, gums, and jaw is critical.
Crowns are a type of dental restoration that are used to strengthen or change the shape of a tooth. Most of the time, crowns are put on teeth that have broken, worn, or decayed portions.
A crown is a "cap" that is cemented onto a tooth that is already there. It usually covers the part of the tooth that is above the gum line. The crown becomes your tooth's new outer surface in effect. Porcelain, metal, or both can be used to make crowns. Most people prefer porcelain crowns because they are strong and mimic the transparency of natural teeth.
When there is insufficient tooth strength to support a filling, crowns or onlays also known as partial crownsar e required. A crown is made outside of your mouth, in contrast to fillings, which apply the restoration material directly into your mouth. Your individual tooth impression is used to create your crown in a dental laboratory, where a technician can examine your bite and jaw movements in detail. After that, your crown is sculpted just for you so that when it is put in, your bite and jaw movements work normally.
Dentures come in two varieties:
partial and complete When all of a patient's natural teeth have been extracted, they receive full dentures. Partially dentures are used to replace missing teeth by attaching them to a metal frame that is connected to your natural teeth. Dentures, like natural teeth, require proper maintenance. Brush your dentures with a gentle cleanser, keep them moist when not in use, and keep your tongue and gums clean as well.
Extractions There are times when a tooth must be extracted. It may be necessary to remove a baby tooth in order to make room for the eruption of the permanent tooth due to the tooth's irregular shape or its long roots. Sometimes, a tooth may have so much decay that it puts the teeth around it at risk of decay. In this case, your dentist might tell you to take out the tooth and replace it with a bridge or an implant. The removal of a tooth may also be necessary due to an infection, orthodontic treatment, or issues with a wisdom tooth.
Your dentist may extract the tooth during a routine checkup if it is determined that it needs to be removed, or he or she may request a second appointment for this procedure. A "tooth socket" in your jawbone houses the root of each tooth, and a ligament holds each tooth in place. Your dentist must expand the socket in order to extract a tooth and separate the tooth from the ligament that holds it in place. Although this procedure typically takes a short amount of time, it is essential to discuss any sedation preferences or concerns with your doctor.
When a tooth is taken out, the teeth next to it may shift, making it hard to chew or make it hard for your jaw joints to work properly. Your dentist might tell you to get a new tooth if you want to avoid these problems.
Fillings Silver amalgam is typically used to make traditional fillings, also known as dental restoratives. This conventional dental material is useful in situations where restored teeth, typically in the back of the mouth, must withstand extreme forces from chewing because of its strength and durability.
Ceramic and plastic compounds that look like natural teeth are used in recent dental fillings. These substances, also known as composite resins, are typically applied to the front teeth where a natural appearance is important. However, depending on the location and severity of the decay, they can also be applied to the back teeth.
Fillings come in two different varieties:
both direct and indirect In a single visit, direct fillings are placed in a prepared cavity. Silver amalgam, resin ionomers, glass ionomers, and composite (resin) fillings are among them. Two or more visits are typically required for indirect fillings. Onlays, inlays, and veneers are among them. When a tooth has too much damage to support a filling but not enough to warrant a crown, they are used.
