Missing teeth can be replaced with bridges, dentures or dental implants. Each option has its pros and cons, depending on the health of your teeth, gums and jaw bone, and your budget. With advanced training and extensive experience in restorative and advanced dentistry, Dr. Quinn will evaluate your teeth and gums and help you to choose the best option for you. Why a Bridge? A dental bridge is used to fill the space where a tooth is missing. Gaps between teeth can cause chewing problems. If even one tooth is missing , other teeth may shift out of place. This changes the way your teeth fit together. A poor bite may make your jaw sore. Your teeth may become harder to clean which leads to tooth decay and gum disease. There are lots of good reasons to fill the cap of a missing tooth and the bridge is one way to accomplish that. A typical bridge consists of at least 3 crowns. The missing teeth are replaced with crowns (pontics). Crowns cover the adjacent teeth (abutments).

Do you dislike the sound of a dental drill? Laser therapy is silent! Laser dentistry is used during hard tissue (teeth) and soft tissue (gums) procedures. Common hard tissue procedures include: Cavity detection - Lasers detect cavities early by finding evidence of tooth decay. Tooth preparations and dental fillings - Drills are not required when using laser treatments. Lasers kill bacteria in a cavity, and aid in the long-term health of a tooth. Treating tooth sensitivity. Teeth that have sensitivity to hot and cold can be treated with dental lasers by sealing tubules on the tooth’s root. Common soft tissue procedures include: Treating a “gummy smile.” Lasers can reshape gum tissue that covers much of the tooth. Crown lengthening - Laser reshapes both gum tissue and bone for healthier tooth structure, helping in placement of the crown on restorations. Tongue frenulum attachment - when the fold of skin under the front part of the tongue (frenulum) that anchors to the mouth floor is thick or tight, laser therapy corrects this condition. Children with this condition may have difficulty breastfeeding or have speech impediment, and will benefit from laser therapy. Removing soft tissue folds - Lasers remove soft tissue folds from ill-fitting dentures without pain or need of sutures.

Reasons for Removing Teeth Despite adult teeth being considered permanent, extractions are a common procedure to make sure a patient’s oral health is optimal and that they experience no pain or discomfort while chewing, biting, swallowing or speaking. Reasons for needing a tooth extracted, include: Overcrowding Crowding, caused by teeth being too big or unevenly shaped, can cause misalignment. Extracting a tooth is sometimes necessary to make room for other teeth. Overcrowding can also prevent teeth from erupting through the gum causing severe pain for the patient. This can also be an imperative step before a patient undergoes various orthodontic work. Infection If a tooth is severely damaged with the pulp tissue (nerve endings and blood vessels) infected, an extraction may be necessary. When you have a dental infection, your dentist might first prescribe antibiotics but they are often ineffective against more severe infections. To prevent infection, an extraction is needed. Periodontal Disease Periodontal disease is when the tissues and bones that hold teeth in place become infected or inflamed.This can force tooth roots to loosen, resulting in the need for an extraction. Injury If a patient's tooth is damaged as the result of an accident, they may require a tooth extraction. If this happens, a dentist will try to preserve their patient’s teeth and alignment. If a tooth cannot be saved, then an extraction will need to take place.

What Is an Inlay? A dental inlay is a filling for cavities on the interior of a tooth. The procedure is relatively painless and straightforward. A local anesthetic is administered. Once the area is numb, the decay is removed. An impression of your tooth's top crevice area is made with a mold. Porcelain or composite resin material make up dental inlays. Coloring is matched to your tooth. Inlays provide almost invisible dental restoration and are usually more durable than regular fillings. It sounds like an excellent option to repair and restore a decayed or fractured tooth, Right!

What are dental fillings? Dental fillings are typically used to fill small holes in a tooth where decay has been removed. A filing can be made from a variety of materials. Most common has been amalgam which is a mixture of metals or a composite of glass and acrylic resin.  Traditional fillings can have a downside. As noted in a literature review published in the Journal of Dental Health, Oral Disorders & Therapy, metal fillings can weaken tooth strength by up to 50%. In comparison, inlays and onlays made of porcelain and composite materials can increase tooth strength up to 75% and last between ten and thirty years!
