Affordable Dental Implant Treatments
People who have lost teeth often are too self-conscious to smile or talk confidently. They can develop poor eating habits when food is difficult to chew which often leads to secondary health problems. Dental implant treatment offers a permanent solution to replacing missing teeth and restoring dental function. Dental implants can be paired with different types of restorations to restore a single missing tooth or a full arch of missing teeth. Here are affordable restoration options at Sacramento Holistic Dentist, Sacramento, CA.
Dental Bridge
If you have missing teeth, your dentist can close or bridge the gaps in your smile with dental bridges. A dental bridge is a false tooth also called a pontic, that is held in place by the abutment teeth on either side of the gap.
Types of Dental Bridge:
Cantilever
The pontic in a cantilever dental bridge is held in place by a dental crown that is cemented to only one abutment tooth. For a cantilever bridge, you only need one natural tooth next to your missing tooth gap.
Implant-supported
Uses dental implants as opposed to crowns or frameworks. It is considered the strongest and most stable system and requires two surgeries:
- One to embed the implants in the jawbone.
- A second surgery to place the bridge.
Maryland
Similar to a traditional bridge. Employs two natural abutment teeth, one each side of the gap.
Traditional
Consists of a false tooth or teeth being held in place by dental crowns that have been cemented onto each of the abutment teeth.
Dental Crowns
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over a tooth to cover, restore its shape and size, strength, and improve its appearance.
Types of Dental Crowns:
- All-ceramic or all-porcelain
- All-resin
- Metals
- Porcelain-fused-to-metal
- Stainless Steel
- Temporary Versus Permanent
Dental Fillings
Fillings are used to repair cracked or broken teeth and treat cavities by removing the decayed portion of your tooth and “fill” the area on the tooth where the decayed material was removed.
Types of Dental Crowns:
- Ceramics
- Glass Ionomer
- Gold Fillings
- Silver Fillings
- Tooth-colored Composites
Dentures
A denture is a removable replacement for missing teeth and surrounding tissues.
Types of Dentures:
- Complete Dentures: Used when all the teeth are missing.
- Partial Dentures: Used when some natural teeth remain.
Endodontics
A branch of dentistry concerning dental pulp and tissues surrounding the roots of a tooth. Endodontic treatment, also known as root canal treatment, treats the soft pulp tissue inside the tooth.
Types of Endodontics / Root Canal Treatment:
Apicoectomy
A procedure used when a primary root canal is unsuccessful.
Nonsurgical
This is your typical root canal which removes the inner nerve tissue of the tooth and seals the inner chamber.
Pulpotomy and Pulpectomy
Procedures done on baby teeth, a root canal for children.
Full Mouth Restoration
This refers to rebuilding and replacing all of the teeth in a patient’s mouth. Full mouth reconstructions combine esthetics with the science of restorative functions to improve the health, function, and beauty of the mouth.
Types of Full Mouth Restoration:
- Bridges
- Crowns
- Dentures
- Implants
- Inlays and Onlays
