Tooth-Colored Fillings
Cavities are a common dental problem, and nearly everyone has had a filling at one time or another. Thanks to modern dentistry, those fillings can now blend in perfectly with your natural teeth, and help you avoid that noticeable metal in your mouth. Today’s composite resin tooth-colored fillings can be the perfect solution for any patient who needs to address cavities.
Porcelain Tooth inlays and Onlays
When fillings need to be replaced, patients may want to consider a different restoration option: porcelain tooth inlays and onlays. An inlay is like a filling, and is placed inside the top edges of the impacted tooth. Onlays are a more extensive solution, and cover more of the tooth – extending out over the cusps of the tooth. These porcelain solutions provide strength, durability, and aesthetic appeal.
Porcelain Crowns
Porcelain crowns are an effective dental tool used to reinforce weak teeth, restore a tooth that has been treated with root canal therapy, and provide enhanced aesthetic appeal. The crown is designed to cover the surface of the tooth, providing strength and durability. It can also be used to alter the shape of a tooth when obvious defects need to be corrected.
Porcelain Fixed Dental Bridges
Dental bridges are used to cover the gap that is left when a patient has lost one or more of his or her teeth. Bridges include crowns for the teeth adjacent to the gap, as well as false teeth that fill the gap. Porcelain fixed dental bridges are used to restore aesthetic appeal and function.
Removable Dentures
Dentures can be either partial or complete, and provide an aesthetically-pleasing option for patients who either cannot use implants or cannot afford the cost. Dr. Karen Kang utilizes quality denture materials, custom-fit to the patient’s mouth, to ensure comfort, functionality, and a natural appearance. Dentures are always shaped and colored to match the patient’s natural teeth.
Dental Implant and Periodontics
Though there are several options for replacing lost teeth, dental implants are one of the best choices for those who can use them. Implants are permanent, and are fused to the jawbone to provide maximum stability for your new crowns, or other implants. That helps to restore function, while providing natural aesthetic appeal that looks like your natural teeth.
