Dental Solutions (3/3)
Endodontics
With today's modern dental techniques, having root canals done by a dentist is no longer a scary experience. The doctors at Carolina Center for Cosmetic and Restorative Dentistry are experienced in performing root canal therapy. Extensive decay, an accident, tooth fracture, or gum disease can kill teeth and cause a root canal symptom such as root canal pain or a dental abscess. However, regardless of the root canal cause, your teeth can be saved using modern therapy to do root canal treatment.
Periodontics
Periodontal treatment starts with prevention: regular cleanings and good hygiene habits are excellent precautions to take to avoid gum disease. The main cause of periodontal disease is bacteria in the form of a sticky, colorless plaque that constantly forms on your teeth; however, other factors can cause the disease or influence its progression. Scaling, root planing and local delivery of antimicrobials can treat and prevent the progression of the disease. In some cases, surgical therapy or cosmetic solutions may be necessary to correct the damage from gum disease physically and cosmetically. The doctor can evaluate your situation and present the best treatment options for you.
Bridges
Missing teeth can cause more than embarrassment. They can lead to gum disease, bite problems, bone loss, speech difficulties and can keep you from eating the foods you love. A dental bridge will not only restore your smile to a natural appearance, but it will also return it to comfort and function. A bridge is a custom-fit false tooth (or teeth). The bridge is permanently placed between two healthy teeth and is held in place by porcelain crowns.
Bonding
So you want to enhance your smile, but you have concerns about procedures and cost. Cosmetic bonding is the perfect solution! Affordable and conservative, bonding can be used for a variety of enhancements, including whitening stain-resistant teeth (including tetracycline stains), repairing chips and closing gaps between teeth. The procedure is simple: a composite material is placed on the tooth, then shaped to the desired result. Finally, the material is hardened and polished, creating a natural appearance.
Inlays / Onlays
The doctors at Carolina Center for Cosmetic and Restorative Dentistry cares about your health and offers metal-free dentistry with beautiful and healthy porcelain inlays and onlays. They use inlays and onlays in place of traditional metal fillings that can shift or crack, leaving you vulnerable to bacteria and further decay. Inlays and Onlays are a more conservative treatment because less tooth material is removed. Unlike fillings, these procedures strengthen a tooth's structure and leave your smile whiter and healthier than ever before.
Invisalign
Invisalign is a groundbreaking way to straighten your teeth without any uncomfortable and unsightly metal appliances. Invisalign uses a series of removable aligners that are virtually invisible, so you don’t have to worry about your appearance. You can take them out for daily necessities like eating, drinking, brushing and flossing. Comfortable, convenient and complementary to your smile, Invisalign is the preferred method of teeth alignment for patients. Call us today to find out more about Invisalign invisible braces.
