There are a number of options for filling gaps including:

• crown and bridge
• implants
• dentures

Crown and Bridge

Crown and bridge is the oldest and most established cosmetic dental treatment option.  In general  terms, crown and bridge techniques involve cutting down the tooth or teeth to be restored and covering them completely with crowns or "caps".

 

In some cases, if the tooth or teeth in question are badly decayed or damaged, crown and bridge is the only viable treatment option.  But, depending on your situation , the advancement of cosmetic dental technology has given some alternatives, such as bonding, porcelain veneers, whitening, orthodontics or even tooth implants.

 

 

Dental Implants

Dental Implant Technology has developed to the point that it has become a part of mainstream dentistry, especially Cosmetic Dentistry.

 

To replace missing teeth, implants may be the solution you've been looking for.  Recent advancements in tooth implant techniques mean that you can enjoy that healthy, natural smile you've always wanted. There are a wide variety of dental implants available - talk to your dentist at Duxton Dental if you think an implant might be right for you.
