This is an infection of the tissue that supports your teeth. There are stages of this disease. Periodontal disease attacks the gum just below the gum line, where the tooth meets the gums, there is a very shallow v- shaped crevice called a Sulcus between the tooth and the gums. In the Sulcus bacteria collects and attaches to the tissue and breaks it down, the tissue becomes damaged swollen and inflamed causing the Sulcus to develop a pocket. This pocket collects bacteria if not removed, will in advance stages of periodontal disease destroys bone which supports the teeth. We help our clients understand this process, and everyone has different choices to help maintain their oral hygiene. For more information call Dentistry@Cedarview2.

Tooth Extractions
It is a sad day when we have to remove a tooth, but for certain reasons this is necessary. Whether it be due to infection, spacing problems, periodontal disease, we have the knowledge to inform our clients to their options.
Tooth Extractions
Dentures
If you have lost all or some of your natural teeth, whether because of accidental or periodontal disease or tooth decay, partial dentures or full upper and lower dentures can replace the missing teeth. This will help in appearance as well as your ability to eat, and speak and support facial muscles.
There are different methods to creating denture,a conventional full denture is made and placed in the patients mouth after the tissues have healed which takes several months. An immediate complete denture is inserted after the extractions are done same day. Removable partial dentures usually consists of replacement teeth attached to gum color plastic base which is attached to metal framework. With all dentures the dentist will need to take impressions and measurements in order to fabricate the denture to your custom fitting. With all dentures clients need to keep in mind that oral hygiene is still needed, brushing of the gums, tongue, and palate every morning with a soft bristle tooth brush before inserting denture. Also remove denture during sleep to allow the tissue underneath to breath.
Cosmetic Dentistry
You no longer have to settle with what mother nature gave you, you have choices you can make to brighten and enhance your smile. The most subtle change in your smile can make a dramatic difference in the way you look and feel about yourself. You might be surprised it may not involve expensive fees.
Bonding can improve appearance of chipped, broken,cracked, stained,or if you have spaces between teeth. A tooth-colored material is bonded to the tooth surface.
Enamel shaping involves modifying the teeth to improve their appearance by shaping and contouring the enamel. This is often combined with bonding, it is quick and comfortable and results can be seen immediately.
Crowns
Crowns are designed to one restore the tooth to its normal shape and size and to create more strength. It can support a tooth with a large filling, where there is no tooth enamel left. It is also used for reinforcement on root canal teeth as the tooth becomes non vital and fragile. A crown is a good way to enhance a tooth if there is discoloration, and or badly shaped. And is also used for implant cases. It is done by removing some of the enamel or filling material, so that there is a post like core remaining, at this time the Dentist takes an impression of this tooth and neighboring teeth and a shade of your teeth. This is sent to a lab and a crown if created. It usually takes two weeks to be created and a temporary crown is place during this time. For more information please call Dentistry@Cedarview2.
Bridges
A bridge is used to replace a tooth missing between other teeth. This maintains the proper space and alleviating stress on your bite. A bridge looks great it is fixed to adjoining teeth, can be created in gold, porcelain or a combination of both. For more information call Dentistry@Cedarview2.
Veneers
Veneers are thin custom-shaped shells designed to cover the front side of the teeth. They are made of tooth color material, and used to treat spaces between teeth, chipped teeth, or worn,stained, poorly shaped or slightly crooked teeth.
Implants
They are an alternative to bridges or dentures, Implants can look like natural teeth. It is simply a metallic titanium post that is inserted into the jaw bone to act like the natural tooth root. Titanium is not recognized by the body's immune system, so it is not rejected as an implant. It integrates with the jaw bone to give a firm support to the artificial replacement that it will support.
Reasons for an implant:
Root canal Therapy
Most of the time a root canal is a relatively simple procedure with little or no discomfort. It involves two appointments, best of all it saves the tooth and your smile!. Inside each tooth is the blood supply or pulp which provides nutrients and nerves, these thread like stands run down the roots of the tooth.
When the tooth becomes injured, diseased the pulp begins to die. If this pulp is not removed the tooth becomes infected and there may be pain and swelling involved. A dentist will remove this pulp from the tooth and leave the outer shell of the tooth, and fill the inside with a dental material to seal the canals.
Shortly afterwards a Crown is placed on this tooth to help keep the tooths strength. If you have any concerns regarding this procedure please call Dentistry@Cedarview2.
