Composite Fillings, also known as tooth-colored fillings, are a popular choice for repairing cavities and other small damage to teeth.
Composite fillings can also be used for cosmetic enhancements such as reshaping and changing the color of teeth. They are typically done in one appointment and require less tooth reduction than traditional metal fillings.
A Root Canal is a dental procedure that involves removing the infected or damaged pulp from inside a tooth. It is done to save a tooth that would otherwise need to be extracted. The pulp contains nerves and blood vessels that keep the tooth alive.
Once it is removed, the tooth is cleaned, disinfected and filled with a material called gutta-percha. It is then sealed with a filling or crown to prevent reinfection and to restore the tooth to its normal function.
A Tooth Extraction is the removal of a tooth from the socket in the bone. It is typically done when the tooth is damaged or decayed beyond repair, or when there is not enough room in the mouth for all the teeth.
Tooth extractions in
Phoenix
can be simple or surgical, depending on the condition of the tooth. Simple extractions are performed on teeth that are visible above the gum line, while surgical extractions involve the removal of teeth that have not fully erupted or teeth that have broken off at the gum line. After the tooth is removed, the area may be sore for a few days and the patient is advised to follow proper care instructions to ensure proper healing.
A Dental Implant is an artificial tooth root that provides a permanent base for fixed for replacement teeth.
They are made of titanium, a biocompatible material that fuses with the jawbone over time to provide a strong foundation for the replacement teeth.
Implants are an ideal option for people who have lost one or more teeth due to injury, periodontal disease, or other reasons.
They can also be used to support a bridge or denture, providing a more secure and comfortable fit.
The implantation procedure is typically done by an oral surgeon or periodontist in a series of steps that may take several months to complete.
Dental Bone Grafting is a surgical procedure that involves adding bone to the jaw to support dental implants. It is performed when there is not enough natural jawbone available to securely place an implant.
The bone can be taken from the patient's own body (autograft), from a cadaver (allograft), or from a synthetic source (xenograft). The procedure is done by an oral surgeon or periodontist and typically requires several months of healing time before an implant can be placed.
Bone grafting can also be used to repair bone loss caused by periodontal disease or injury. The success rate for dental bone grafting is high and it can greatly improve the chances of a successful implant placement.
Crowns and Bridges are a great solution for filling the gap caused by tooth loss.
