How To Prevent Gum Disease
Gum disease is relatively common and can have a negative impact on your oral and overall health. Our Brantford dentists discuss how you can prevent this disease from taking hold.
Crowns and bridges may be recommended for our Brantford patients who need to fill gaps in their smile.
A dental crown can often be called a "dental cap". A dental crown is simply a material that covers an entire tooth, different than a filling, which only covers part of the tooth.
A dental bridge is adhered on to either side of one or more missing teeth, in order to replace the missing tooth or teeth.
When a filling is not large enough to fill a large crack, crowns for your teeth might be recommended.
Larger cracks are usually treated by placing a crown that envelopes the tooth with a strong protective covering and may help prevent fracture or nerve damage by a further progression of the crack.
Depending on the patient's amount of decay, dental bridges may last up to 20 years. They are only to be removed by dentists and are considered generally permanent solutions for your missing teeth.
