Your Smile Makes Your First Impression

Your teeth are the first thing most people see when they meet you. Of course, you want to smile and make a great first impression. It is impossible to make a good impression if you have a gaping hole in your mouth from a missing tooth, or discolored teeth from decay or food stains, or chipped crowns or gaps. Despite the obvious health problems you may have if you can’t eat properly because of missing teeth, your self-esteem is also adversely affected by an incomplete smile with teeth missing.

Here are some procedures that are necessary to keep your teeth looking great.

Restorative Dental Procedures

Dental Fillings

Fillings are the most common form of restorative dentistry. Our dentists routinely use fillings to fill a tooth after decay from a cavity has been removed or to replace fillings that have fallen out. Fillings are commonly made out of silver amalgam or tooth-colored plastic called composite resin.

Dental Crowns

A dental crown can be made to match the color of the rest of your teeth. It can also be used to hold a bridge in place. They are also a necessary part of dental implant restoration. Your dentist can make a cap that will fit right over your tooth to restore its shape and give the tooth its original strength.

Dental Bridges

A bridge is used to replace a tooth or a group of teeth that are missing due to decay or accident. Your dentist will anchor the bridge with crowns placed on the teeth on either side which will be permanently cemented into place. Bridges are a great option when you have only one or a couple of teeth missing.

Dental Implants

restorative dentistry in snellville A dental implant is the replacement of the actual tooth root. Our Provider will insert a metal post into the bone in the area of the missing tooth. Then, after the metal post has fused with the bone, a crown will be placed on the post to create the tooth. Our expert dental technician will make sure the crown is the same color as the rest of your teeth to create a natural-looking smile. This procedure is the closest you will get to having your original teeth because they are individually placed in your jawbone like tooth roots just like your original teeth.

Dentures

Dentures are used when you need many teeth replaced. They are actually a removable form of replacement teeth. This is considered a last resort because you usually have to have all of your teeth pulled in order to have dentures. Many times they are uncomfortable and some patients report not being able to eat certain foods because the dentures aren’t as strong as your natural teeth. Normally, they are made of acrylic resin and metal as necessary to anchor them in your mouth.

Gum Disease

It is very important that you keep your gums and connective tissue healthy. If your gums are not in good health, you may develop periodontal (gum) disease. Gum disease can also cause problems with other parts of your mouth and teeth. There are treatments that our knowledgeable dentists can use and teach you to bring your gums back to a healthy state. Once you develop the later stages of periodontal disease, you will always have it and will need your Provider’s help to keep things from deteriorating again.

Professional Dental Cleaning

Dental experts recommend that you get a professional dental cleaning at least once every six months. This is necessary to keep your gums and teeth clean from plaque and tartar which are the main causes of periodontal disease.

Scaling and root planing: SRP Deep Cleaning

This is procedure is used when routine dental cleanings are not enough and deep cleaning beneath the gums is needed to remove the plaque and tartar. This procedure is also known as an SRP Deep Cleaning. When going in for a regular cleaning appointment, if found that you need an SRP Deep Cleaning procedure, your dentist is required to use the deep cleaning procedure rather than the standard procedure. Deep cleaning procedures are extremely successful and typically will solve most infection issues without complication.

It’s Never Too Late To Repair Your Smile

Restorative dentistry is a vital part of returning your mouth and teeth to a healthy, happy state. You will be much more confident and have a better self-image when you can open your mouth to smile and talk without the gaps of chipped and missing teeth, and darkened discolored teeth.
