The right dental prosthetic should make you more comfortable with your smile, and help you feel as though you can function normally when biting, chewing, and speaking. To ensure that your restoration is stable, you can have it supported with a dental implant. A dental implant is a titanium post that will act like the root for your artificial tooth. To stay in place, it must be set directly in your jawbone, and you will need to give it time to heal. During the healing process, the bone fuses to the implant. Once it is secure, you can have a natural-looking ceramic dental crown put on the implant. This provides excellent support, and offers additional benefits to your jawbone. (more…)
Tips To Help You Avoid Serious Periodontal Problems

There are several problems that can be attributed to tooth loss. The easiest to point out is the problem of how it can affect your smile. Many people who have a gap in their teeth will feel self-conscious. There are also issues that affect your oral health, and your regular jaw function.

Your teeth next to that gap have less support, and face a greater likelihood of being lost as well. Using a dental implant to hold a replacement tooth can mean improving your smile; you can have a ceramic dental crown as a prosthetic, which has a life-like appearance.

Quiz: Different Ways A Dental Crown Can Help Your Smile
Restorative dental care is meant to restore a vulnerable tooth to good condition. If your dentist observes a smaller cavity during a checkup, they can restore the tooth by removing it, and using a dental filling to address that loss of dental material.

For superior support, you can have a tooth protected by a dental crown. Thanks to CEREC technology, it is possible for your dentist to fit a permanent ceramic crown on your tooth in a single visit.
