Dental fillings spring tx
Dental filling spring tx is a treatment used to
repair and, at times, save a tooth that is damaged, decayed, or infected, as
all of these conditions can result in discomfort. To perform a root canal, the
dentist removes the nerve within the pulpal chamber and root, followed by
disinfection and sealing. If a badly damaged or decayed tooth does not get a
root canal, the surrounding tissues can become infected and abscesses may form.
These types of conditions should be addressed as soon as possible to minimize
the long term damage and possible tooth loss, as well as pain and discomfort.
Extractions
Dental filling spring tx Dental Extractions are a last-resort solution
for a number of different oral conditions that exist. Although permanent
natural healthy teeth are meant to last a lifetime, sometimes conditions make
this impossible. A few common reasons for considering extractions include: 1.)
teeth that are badly damaged, 2.) the presence of an infection making saving
the tooth impossible, and 3.) unnecessary teeth such as third molars (wisdom
teeth).

Tooth Extraction is in your best interest, Dr. Tan will help make pulling the
tooth or teeth as painless as possible. He will also inform you of any options
you have available to accommodate the missing tooth or teeth.

Crowns

"caps" that are placed over a reshaped tooth. The purpose of using
the dental crown is to cover the existing tooth and restore its shape, size,
strength, while improving its appearance. Dental crowns, when properly cemented
into place, fully encase the entire visible portion of an existing tooth, lying
at and above the gumline. A few general reason for using dental crowns are,
protecting a weak, decaying or cracked tooth. Restoring a broken or severely
warn tooth. To cover and support a large filling when there isn't a lot of

Dental
Bridge (Fixed Partial Denture)
Dental filling spring tx Missing a tooth or two? A Dental Bridge,
also know as a Fixed Partial Denture (FPD), is a customized dental prosthesis
used to replace one or more missing teeth. It is usually supported by two or
more natural-existing, healthy teeth adjacent to the missing space.
A Dental Bridge is fixed in place
and cannot be removed, once cemented into place. The concept is simple to
understand. At least two crowns on natural, healthy teeth flanking the missing
space are connected by custom-made replacement teeth called pontics. The
natural teeth used to support the pontics are called abutments. A common
example of a Dental Bridge is one that replaces one missing tooth and uses
three parts: two abutments and one pontic.
