Bridges & Implants can prevent shifting

When a tooth is missing or has been extracted, other teeth usually shift in only a few years. This change in tooth position can cause all sorts of bite and gum problems. The expense and time involved to correct the condition can be more than the original cost of bridge or implant placement. Therefore, have a missing tooth replaced as quickly as possible after it is taken out.

What is a crown?

A crown is a cap, cover, or restoration replacing the portion of the tooth exposed in the mouth. A porcelain crown is an all ceramic restoration. A porcelain fused to metal crown(PFM) is made of porcelain and metal. The entire undersurface is usually metal with the exterior being tooth coloured.

The dental facelift

There are many patients who do not need a facelift or other surgical procedures to make them look younger. Dentistry has been the most overlooked profession in its ability to create more attractive and younger looking faces by improving a smile. Dark or discolored teeth can make a person look older than they should look. A simple technique such as teeth whitening is a reasonable and quick alternative to the more costly and time-consuming procedure of crowning.
