Restorative Dental Procedures
It is crucial for maintaining dental health, improving quality of life, and boosting self-esteem in those who have had tooth loss, decay, or damage due to a variety of circumstances, including diseases, accidents, or natural ageing.
In addition to addressing oral problems, restorative dentistry aims to enhance overall health by restoring the confidence to talk, eat, and smile. To provide results that are durable and natural-looking, our team at Art Dentistry combines clinical expertise with the newest advancements in dental technology and materials with our extensive experience and training.
Regular dental exams and appropriate oral hygiene practices are necessary to maintain the efficacy of restorative dental work and to ensure long-term oral health.
Restorative Dental Procedures Include:
- Dental Implants
- Dentures
- Root Canal
- Crowns
- Bridges
1. Dental Implants
Dental implants offer a well-researched, reliable, tasteful, and conservative way to replace missing teeth. A restoration that closely mimics the patient's original tooth is given. A commercially pure titanium post is placed into the mandible, much like the root of a natural tooth. It acts as a support for the replacement tooth after the proper healing time. As with a crown or bridge, the replacement tooth or teeth can be fixed permanently, or they can be taken out to be cleaned (as in the case of a denture).
Implant therapy usually consists of two stages. Initially, a highly controlled and precise surgical procedure is used to put the implants into the jaw. Replacement teeth are attached to the implants once the jaw has healed.
Patients who would like to replace lost teeth may find that dental implants are a good course of treatment. However, your fitness cannot be confirmed until after a comprehensive consultation and examination. We will present you with a variety of treatment alternatives to address your specific difficulties after your implant consultation.
2. Dentures
A denture is a removable device used to replace one or more teeth. Usually, metal and acrylic are combined to create it.
A partial denture is used to replace some lost teeth, whereas a complete denture is used to replace all of the natural teeth in a jaw. A careful and secure technique to encourage your confidence in speaking, eating, and smiling is with dentures that are built correctly. A temporary therapy option for patients having repeated extractions and/or dental implant treatment is a denture.
A comfortable fit and the ideal appearance are ensured during the denture-making process by adhering to precise treatment techniques. After your initial consultation, we may discuss in detail with you the time, number of appointments, and steps required to create your new dentures. Our professionals specialise in making dentures and have received substantial training. Under some conditions, dental implants can also be used to stabilise and aid in the retention of the dentures, providing an even more secure and natural-feeling fit.
3. Root Canal
Each tooth's hard outer coating protects the dental pulp, which is found in the core and contains nerves and blood vessels, from the environment. If the tooth's outer protective layers are compromised by tooth decay or clenching and grinding that fractures the tooth, bacteria will reach the nerve area and cause inflammation, infection, and toothaches.
An inflamed and injured nerve might manifest as pain, prolonged sensitivity to heat or cold, tooth discolouration, swelling and soreness of the surrounding gums, or an unpleasant taste in the mouth.
Toothaches can be treated or prevented by removing inflamed and diseased nerve tissue and sealing the nerve gap to keep more bacteria out and the infection from spreading. Using the most recent instruments and methods, our in-house root canal specialist will carry out this accurate and deft operation. We carefully identify the nerve spaces using 3D X-rays and microscopes for the maximum level of precision during the operation.
Root canal procedures usually involve little discomfort and are rather painless. The process shouldn't feel any different than receiving a routine filling, even when a local anaesthetic is used. When the root canal treatment is complete, the tooth will be restored with a permanent filling. Since a significant amount of the tooth may be missing, a crown will typically be affixed to the tooth to reduce the risk of a future fracture.
4. Crowns
We can use crowns to repair teeth that have had substantial filling work done on them, but the teeth have gotten weak or cracked as a result of dental decay cycles.
They can protect the tooth from further harm in addition to returning it to its ideal shape, look, and functional location. Dental adhesives specifically designed for this purpose are used to secure a crown, often known as a "cap," over a tooth. After the tooth has been prepared, your restoration will be made by our highly qualified dental experts utilising conventional moulds or sophisticated digital scans. While your repair is being made, we will fit a handcrafted interim restoration. Before the crown is permanently placed, we always try it on to make sure it fits well and complements the bite. We use the newest glue materials and techniques to bond our restorations for the finest long-term outcomes.
Crowns and bridges are made of materials that do not degrade over time. Still susceptible to decay and gum disease is the tooth underneath. Maintaining dental health and avoiding crown issues require consistent oral hygiene routines, such as brushing and flossing.
5. Bridges
Among other things, your dentist can use a bridge to replace any missing teeth. The other options are to use a detachable denture or dental implants.
A bridge is a specifically crafted solution that is effective in every circumstance. After a comprehensive examination, your dentist will be in the greatest position to decide whether a bridge is the best option for you and, if so, what material and design would be most appropriate. Following the preparation of the teeth, your restoration will be created by our highly qualified dental experts using conventional moulds or sophisticated digital scans. While your repair is being made, we will fit a handcrafted interim restoration.
Before the bridge is firmly affixed, we always try it in to make sure it fits well and complements the bite. We use the newest glue materials and techniques to bond our restorations for the finest long-term outcomes.
