If you’ve lost a tooth or had to have one extracted, the most beneficial thing you can do for your overall oral health is to fill the space left behind. Here are some tooth replacement options to choose from.
Dental Implants are typically made up of three parts: The implant itself, the abutment, and the crown. Here, our Surrey dentists provide a brief overview of each component.
It is important to conduct thorough oral hygiene at home twice daily utilizing tooth brushing with a fluoride antibacterial toothpaste and flossing to remove food debris and plaque on teeth, bridgework and implants, and brushing the tongue to remove odor-causing bacteria.
Periodontal procedures, such as soft tissue grafts, are available to stop further dental problems and gum recession, and/or to improve the aesthetics of your gum line.
Non-surgical periodontal therapy removes plaque and calculus by controlling the growth of harmful bacteria and by treating conditions that encourage gum disease.
Occlusion refers to the alignment of teeth and the way that the upper and lower teeth fit together (bite). Ideally, all upper teeth fit slightly over the lower teeth. Malocclusion means the teeth are not aligned properly.
Dental sealants are thin plastic coatings that protect the chewing surfaces of children's back teeth from decay (cavities).
A crown is a type of dental restoration which completely encircles remaining tooth structure or a dental implant.
As far as a dental restoration goes, the terms "crown" and "cap" are synonymous. Crowns are synthetic caps, usually made of a material like porcelain, placed on the top of a tooth.
