There are different courses of action that can be taken to fix a problem tooth. Sometimes, the best way to treat a cavity is with a dental filling. In other circumstances, a filling may fail to be the kind of support you need after your dentist removes the decayed material from your tooth. If you find yourself in need of restoration through the placement of a dental crown, there are benefits to seeking a CEREC Same-Day Crowns dental crown. By relying on CEREC Same-Day Crowns technology, your dentist can design, produce, and place your crown in just one appointment. (more…)
The Link Between Dental Implants And Jaw Health
Tooth loss can certainly affect your smile, and it can alter how you eat, speak, and chew your food. What you might not be aware of is how it can affect the health of your jawbone. Normally, your jawbone is stimulated by the roots of teeth, and that stimulation calls for the delivery of nutrients, to keep the bone healthy. However, when a tooth root is gone, the surrounding bone can deteriorate. What is unique about using a dental implant to support a prosthetic is that the implant actually addresses this problem. While other prosthetic types do not help take care of your jaw, the implant can take away the risk of deterioration. (more…)

Why A Ceramic-Made Crown Is Good News For Your Smile
A serious cavity is bad news for your tooth. The good news is that your dentist can eliminate the decay that is occurring, and make sure you leave with your smile unaffected. How is this possible? A dental restoration can be provided that offers effective care, AND a pleasing appearance. If you need a filling, one made from composite resin will blend in with the surrounding enamel, so that it does not alter your appearance. A dental crown made of porcelain has a lifelike appearance, and actually reflects light in the same way your enamel does. Because your dentist has CEREC Same-Day Crowns technology at the office, you can actually receive an attractive dental crown in just a single visit. (more…)
Quiz: What Makes CEREC Same-Day Crowns Dental Crowns Special?
What is it about CEREC Same-Day Crowns dental crowns that make them different from traditional crowns? With CEREC Same-Day Crowns, you can receive your restoration in less time – the technology makes it possible to have your tooth restored after one visit. Without CEREC Same-Day Crowns, your dentist would have to take measurements and prepare your tooth for the crown, then fit you with a temporary restoration until the permanent crown can be manufactured. Rather than be beholden to this delay, your dentist can actually have your crown designed and produced in the office, in time to be placed on your tooth during your initial visit. (more…)
3 Issues Created By Tooth Loss
Can you imagine meeting someone who was excited by the idea of losing their teeth? It may be hard to find anyone who sees this as a positive development, but people may not understand how many aspects of your oral health can be negatively impacted by tooth loss. If you have suffered tooth loss, restoration is available through the placement of a dental implant. A dental implant is fitted into your jawbone; because it is made of biocompatible titanium, your bone will fuse to it. This strong hold keeps your replacement tooth steady enough to function like a natural tooth, and can help support your jaw. (more…)

The Role Dental Crowns Play In Cavity Restoration
Once a cavity forms on your tooth, it is time for a trip to the dentist. While your enamel has some capacity for recovery when a tooth takes on damage, a cavity is more than your natural defenses can fix. A restorative dental treatment can remove decay, and make sure your tooth can function after treatment. The measures your dentist must take to fix your tooth after a cavity will depend on its size – the longer you wait for treatment, the more time your cavity has to grow. A dental crown can enable your dentist to protect your tooth after serious decay has occurred. (more…)
Quiz: What Can Happen When You Lose A Tooth
A dental implant offers a chance to permanently replace a lost tooth, and can do so without interfering with neighboring teeth. The implant itself is not your replacement tooth, but a post used to keep it in position. It is able to do so because it will be inserted directly into your jawbone, taking up the residence that formerly contained your lost tooth root. Once you have sufficiently healed from having the implant placed, a lifelike replacement tooth can be inserted onto it. The replacement look like a regular tooth, and it will be durable enough for you to engage it in biting and chewing food. (more…)
