There are a number of options for filling gaps including:
- Crowns and bridges
- Implants
- Dentures
Crown and Bridge
Crown and bridge dentistry 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 means that you can enjoy that healthy, natural smile you’ve always wanted. There are a wide variety of cosmetic dental implants available - talk to your dentist at Duxton Dental if you think an implant might be right
for you.
