If tooth decay is not caught in time, it may reach an interior portion of the tooth called the pulp, where it can cause pain and infection. To correct this problem, dentists perform a procedure called root canal therapy, during which they remove the pulp in the teeth, replace it with artificial material, and cement a crowna tooth-like cap made of plastic, porcelain, or goldonto the damaged tooth. Of course, ideally, we would want or teeth to look just better or as natural as possible, and so, many dentists recommend the use of porcelain crowns to replace teeth. Unlike other materials for crowns, porcelain has the nearest color to natural teeth which in turn, makes us less conscious of them when we open our mouths. Porcelain crowns are also used to correct discolored or chipped teeth so as to avoid extracting them and replacing them with dentures.
Orthodontists correct unsightly crooked teeth or poorly aligned teeth that cause problems with biting using orthodonticsspecial wires, brackets, and bands commonly known as braces. But we all have to admit that the feel and sight of braces makes most people dislike the idea of getting one. Good thing orthodontics came up with a new innovation called Invisalign. Invisalign functions like braces, correcting crooked teeth, but its edge lies in its design. Invisalign is removable and colorless. With this treatment, adjustments are made by replacing the aligner each week in order to put the teeth in the right position. And when you have to eat or speak in public, you can remove them. The duration runs similar with bracesabout a year or twodepending on the state of your teeth. Invisalign is also ideal for adults who need teeth realignment because they wont have to feel awkward about wearing juvenile-looking braces.
A growing area of dental treatment is esthetic, or cosmetic dentistry. Bonding and veneers (tooth-colored materials used to cover stained or misshapen teeth) as well as tooth bleaching are used to improve the appearance of teeth. Porcelain veneers, for instance, are the preferred choice over porcelain crowns. This is because porcelain veneers are easier to adjust and manipulate to make it look like real teeth. Millions of dollars are spent each year, in total, for cosmetic dentistry, and 19% of these treatments consisted of porcelain veneer fitting. However, both porcelain crowns and veneers can be guaranteed to last for a decade or more before replacement or repair.
Tooth bleaching or whitening, another part of esthetic medicine, is popular across the entire US. White teeth are the key to a perfect and confident smile. Zoom Whitening a poplar teeth whitening treatment has been proven to be one of the most effective treatments for making teeth pearly white. The secret of Zoom Whitening is in its special gel that has the ability to break down stain molecules so it could simply be flushed away. Zoom whitening also works with a special light technology that triggers that components of the gel to breakdown discolorants and other elements on the surface of the teeth. Getting Zoom Whitening once every 6 months is ideal for maintenance.
Dental implants, lastly, are the alternative option for multiple tooth replacement. Dentures are more likely to break (and get lost) while dental implants are surgically embedded onto the jaws with small screws and then capped of with a crown. Implants do costs a lot, but they will last an entire lifetime. The treatment will consist of a series of visits t the dentist in a span of 6 months more or less, until the doctor says the screws are secure enough for crowns. Dental implants are slowly phasing-out dentures in the US.
