Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are similar to caps placed over damaged teeth. They are tooth-colored
restorations used to protect, cover and restore the shape of teeth fillings. Additionally, they
replace missing teeth providing them full coverage to restore their normal appearance.
Dentists at Dental Services Houston recommend this procedure when the patient has issues
like stained teeth, gum disease, or to correct the positions of gum tissues.
Dentures
Dentures are customizable or fixed sets of prosthetic teeth to replace multiple missing teeth.
This method is beneficial when someone loses all of their teeth due to advanced tooth decay
or serious gum disease. Depending on the conditions of the patients, there are various types
of dentures that involve complete dentures, fixed partial dentures, removable partial
dentures, implant-retained dentures, and immediate dentures.
Dental Implants
When you have gone through a tooth extraction or you have lost a tooth due to trauma or
injury, dentists perform dental implants to replace the permanent tooth with an artificial
tooth.
During the process, they place an artificial tooth root into the patient’s jawbone. This
procedure is performed by oral surgeons and periodontists.
Dental Bridges
Dental may be referred to as full-coverage restorations that can cover single or multiple
teeth. They bridge the gap on both sides of the missing tooth. Dentists recommend this
procedure when you have extensive tooth decay, missing teeth, or extractions.
Dental bridges are less expensive than dental implants and the time of recovery is also faster.
