The modern method of
replacing missing teeth. Research shows that 85% of people who wear
full or partial dentures experience some related discomfort and
difficulty. Dental implants can eliminate those problems, restore
self-confidence and improve the quality of life. From a single
missing tooth to an entire set of teeth, dental implants can provide
a permanent alternative to problem dentures, and help prevent the
premature loss of remaining teeth. Dental implants can last a
lifetime and are an excellent investment in oral health.

As children reach
their teen years, the appearance of their teeth can do much to
promote a healthy self image and confidence.
Unfortunately, sometimes minor injuries occur, or cavities develop
in front teeth, and in the past, the only solution was to fix or
fill with typical amalgam, or go through an expensive capping or
crowning process in order to restore the teeth to a more natural
appearance.
Modern technology has changed this. Cosmetic bonding is basically
the process of filling or fixing teeth with a tooth-colored filling
material in order to maintain appearance by way of a beautiful and
natural smile. Tooth-colored fillings are made from durable plastics
called composite resins. Similar in color and texture to natural
teeth, the fillings are much less noticeable and much more
attractive than other types of fillings.
Your child can smile, talk, and eat with confidence. In addition,
tooth-colored fillings are compatible with dental sealants, and a
tooth can be filled and sealed at the same time to prevent further
decay.
Tooth colored fillings may not work in every case, but for typical
fillings and small restorations where appearance is important, can
do wonders to provide a natural appearance and confident smile in
your child.
Care for cosmetic fillings are the same as normal care, brushing,
flossing, and regular dental visits. We will regularly check the
fillings or repair for color change, leakage, or unusual wear and
inform you of the need for repair or replacement. |
