For people with missing teeth we finally have ‘screw in teeth’, dental titanium implants placed in the bone to replace missing teeth. Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made from surgical grade titanium, which over a period of four to nine months actually fuse to the bone in the jaw and thus form firm support for a tooth replacement. Dental implants are a conservative solution to most dental problems in which one or more teeth are missing.
Teeth whitening can be a highly effective way of lightening the natural colour of your teeth without removing any of the tooth surfaces. It cannot make a complete colour change but it will lighten the existing shade. Results depend on the original colour of your teeth. There are ranges of tooth whitening agents and techniques for home use or in surgery that can be used to lighten the colour of discoloured or stained teeth. (www.dentcaresmilebrite.com)
With modern materials available it is now possible to place tooth coloured fillings into your mouth so that you no longer have black fillings that discolour the appearance of your teeth. The removal of amalgam fillings that contain Mercury is safely carried out and replaced with composite restorations made in the mouth or in the laboratory. The fillings are easier to maintain you are able to eat straight away without waiting and the cosmetic appearance is similar to your natural teeth.
If you have chipped or stained teeth veneers can be used to improve the colour and shape of the teeth. They are made of thin wafers of porcelain, which is then fixed, to the underlying tooth with special cements. It is similar to attaching false fingernails. The cosmetic results achievable today with newer materials are very natural.
For teeth with very large fillings and to improve the contour and shape of the teeth crowns are an ideal solution. It involves adjusting the shape of the underlying tooth to be able to fit a ‘cap’ over the tooth with special cements. Crowns can be used as individual units or multiple units to recreate a new smile.
A Bridge replaces one or more missing teeth. A Bridge will keep teeth from drifting into the space created from a missing tooth and help preserve normal function and normal bite for the jaw joint. A Bridge is usually anchored to the teeth on both sides of the space from the missing tooth. This gives the bridge strong support.
A Denture replaces one or more missing teeth. Unlike a Fixed Bridge, it is removable. A denture will prevent other teeth from shifting, preserving your remaining teeth. There are different designs of dentures, made from Cobalt Chrome for rigidity, Flex Dentures made from Nylon type material. Full dentures stability can be greatly improved by the placement of simple implants making them very cost effective.
