A cavity will continue its growth until your dentist can step in, remove the infected area, and clean your tooth. The size of your cavity by the time you are treated can depend on how long it took you to seek a restorative dental procedure. If tooth decay has entered the interior of your tooth, it can take a root canal treatment to fully stop the problem. Once this has been performed, your tooth will need protection from a dental crown. A cavity that has not reached this point may only call for a dental filling, but it is possible that a larger cavity that did not enter your tooth’s pulp will still make it necessary to place a crown.

Supporting Jaw Health After Tooth Loss With A Dental Implant
If you are currently dealing with unaddressed tooth loss, you can probably already attest to the ways in which it can interfere with your daily life. Biting and chewing can be negatively affected – some people will even see their ability to speak compromised. What you might not realize is that over time, tooth loss will have real effects on your jaw’s health. Your bone mass is sustained in part because of stimulation from the roots of teeth. That stimulation allows you to sustain the necessary blood flow to your jaw, to keep it supplied with the nutrients it needs. A dental implant can also create this stimulation, so your implant-supported prosthetic can protect you from a deterioration of bone mass. (more…)
Quiz: Dental Crowns And Other Restorative Dental Methods
A dental crown offers total protection for a vulnerable tooth. The protective covering envelops the entirety of the tooth, down to its gum line.

Thanks to CEREC Same-Day Crowns technology, your dentist is no longer dependent on a dental lab to produce your crown – it can be made in the office, and can be designed and placed in a single visit. Restorative dentistry is concerned with the health and stability of your teeth – whether you receive a filling or a crown, the restoration your dentist places will ensure that your tooth can operate as normal, just as it did before needing treatment.

What You Should Know About Tooth Loss
It would be hard to miss the effect of tooth loss on how your smile looks, especially if the loss in question is in a particularly visible area. The embarrassment a person can suffer from having a missing tooth is often sufficient to drive them to seek a replacement. That being said, you should be aware of the oral health issues associated with tooth loss, especially since some issues are fixed exclusively with a dental implant. Your adjacent teeth are more likely to be lost, and you could have jaw problems that start to form. There is also the prospect of deterioration in your jawbone – seeking a dental prosthetic will only help with this issue if the prosthetic has support from a dental implant. (more…)

Problems That Can Interfere With Dental Implant Placement
A dental implant can solve oral health problems associated with tooth loss. There are clear functional benefits to having a full set of teeth again. You will no longer have to avoid the absence when you bite and chew your food. Any difficulty it causes in speaking will be settled. A lifelike restoration placed on your dental implant will improve your smile, and the implant’s ability to operate as a replacement root can actually benefit the health of your jaw. If you need a dental implant, you should recognize that the placement is a form of oral surgery, and you need to be in sufficient condition to undergo it. There are also oral health issues that can interfere, and make placement more complicated. (more…)
Counting On Dental Implants To Support Dentures
A set of complete dentures can be your means of addressing the cosmetic and functional problems associated with total tooth loss. Your dentist can construct a set of dentures for your upper or lower jaw, and ensure that it has a precise fit. If you need a set of dentures, you can discuss the benefits of having dental implants to hold them in place. These implants act like artificial tooth roots, and hold your dentures in place with a support that is comparable to the support your natural teeth enjoyed. Once the implants have been placed, and have healed properly, your dentist can secure your implant dentures. (more…)
Protect An Injured Tooth With A Dental Crown
There are many instances where your dentist will turn to a dental crown to provide the appropriate restoration for a tooth with a cavity. Crowns may be important to cavity treatment, their function goes beyond matters concerning tooth decay. Because they are able to so effectively protect vulnerable teeth, they can also be used to treat a tooth that has suffered a physical injury. A crown completely fits over a tooth, covering it down to the gum line for total protection. This will shield it from harm, but it also serves to operate on the damaged tooth’s behalf. With the aid of CEREC Same-Day Crowns technology, your custom-sized dental crown can be ready in a single dental appointment. (more…)
