Composite Fillings
Cavities and small fractures can cause much larger issues if left untreated. In the past, metal restorations called amalgam fillings (or silver fillings) served a need but left many teeth discolored and strained from the wedging effect of the metal. Today, tooth-colored composite resins blend into the tooth structure and are chemically bonded to the tooth providing a strong, permanent restoration.
Composite fillings serve both functional and aesthetic roles, often at the same time. For example, a cavity invading the front of a tooth along the gum line may be visible in your smile line. By gently cleaning out the soft, discolored area and replacing it with a tooth-colored filling, the tooth is restored and looks better than ever.
Composite fillings contain a mix of liquid resin embedded with finely ground glass particles. After being molded to the prepared tooth structure, a blue light applied directly to the composite hardens the filling material within seconds. Once it’s shaped and polished to a high shine, the restoration is complete.
Same-Day Crowns
With the help of modern dentistry, you can restore and maintain an optimal level of your health. With time, many new advancements in dental materials, as well as the skills of the dental practitioners, result in better outcomes. Our experienced and professional doctors at Manchester Family Dentistry are utilizing the best techniques to solve your oral issues as well as bring your mouth to its healthiest condition.
Our overall oral health goes under significant damage because of cavities, trauma, heavy bite forces, or even normal functioning. The tooth may be especially fragile if the root canal needs to rescue a severely compromised nerve. If the treatments are not done properly then there is a chance that you may face tooth loss. With the use of dental crowns or caps, the teeth can be rebuilt and covered with materials that mimic the nature of the tooth. Most of the “capped” teeth are undifferentiable from their natural teeth and are very comfortable as well as secure. One can craft a crown to repair one tooth, multiple teeth (even the entire mouth), or in addition with dental implants to fill a space. When we are considering missing teeth, then special treatments need to be given to placing a dental bridge or implants.
One Simple Step
With the help of today’s technology, we can incorporate a crown to your teeth within the first appointment itself. The process starts with a gentle shaping of the tooth and captures detailed digital images to understand as well as design your new restoration. With the best quality porcelain available, we create the best crown using powerful software and with the help of our experts. We cement the crown tightly to the teeth and you get your happy smile back. We are always prepared to welcome you and serve you with the best.
Onlays
We take a very conservative approach and proper treatment to preserve every single broken tooth. The help of modern dental materials allows us to build fully functional teeth with a priority to conserve the natural tooth structure as much as possible.
Our teeth can suffer damage because of normal function over time, heavy bite forces, cavities, and trauma. In case the teeth are having smaller fractures, then they can be perfectly fixed and restored with an onlay, without the use of a dental crown. While capping crowns to the teeth requires a little more tooth preparation, with onlays the unbroken portion of teeth is left uncut. A custom-made piece of porcelain, which is like a partial crown, is bonded to the damaged area of the tooth.
An onlay enhances both function and appearance of a tooth as well as blends seamlessly. Our doctors at Manchester Family Dentistry will suggest to you an onlay for an ultimate restoration when it is most convenient for you.
