Dental hygiene visits involve not only cleaning your teeth, but evaluating your soft tissue. Oral tissues are examined for changes in color or shape. Periodontal tissues are examined for health. Fillings and other restorations such as crowns or bridgework are checked for cavities. Teeth are checked for wear, cracks and looseness.
Crowns are custom-fitted restorations which cover the visible part of a tooth. They are usually recommended when a tooth with a very large filling shows new decay or breaks off a cusp. A crown sits over a tooth somewhat like a thimble and holds the tooth together. A crown may also be recommended for a tooth with visible cracks or one that has significant discoloration.
Bonding is a conservative method used to enhance the aesthetics of your smile. Bonding can be used to correct cracks or gaps in teeth, as a new filling after a cavity has been removed, or to mask stained or discolored teeth. Bonding is composite resin which is placed and sculpted directly onto the tooth.
Dental bridges are the most conventional way to replace missing teeth. Your existing teeth serve as anchors to support the bridge. Teeth on either side of a space (called abutment teeth) provide strength to support a non-removable replacement tooth or teeth (called pontic teeth). Bridges are made from metal and porcelain, alloys, gold, or zirconia to provide strength and durability.
