When you experience a cavity, you’ll need to have the unwanted decaying portions of the tooth removed and restored. That’s what a filling actually is. The advantages of a filling will help prevent the tooth from decaying further and it also helps in maintaining the integrity of the tooth. At KPN Dentistry we use “white” filling materials.

When a tooth is broken, heavily damaged, or weakened after a root canal, you need a crown over that tooth to help protect it and restore it to its normal shape and size.

When you are missing one or more teeth, a bridge can replace the missing teeth with artificial teeth. This bridges the gap from the missing teeth, helps you chew more effectively, and restores your smile. Unlike a denture, a bridge is fixed and cannot be removed.

These are used when many teeth, or sometimes all of a patient’s teeth, are missing. Losing your teeth can impact on your speech, smile and your chewing ability. Your facial muscles can sag, making you look older. Dentures are removable appliances that can help you with appearance, eating and speaking

When a person loses teeth, no matter how many, another option is getting a dental implant. This gives a permanent false tooth that helps keep the strength and integrity of the jaw intact. Implants are titanium posts that are placed where the teeth are missing, and a customized artificial tooth is placed on top of the implant. Dental implant is a secure, stable and excellent option for replacing missing teeth.

Fortunately, there are dental support and solutions for Bruxism and TMJ Disorder.
