This versatile composite-resin& ;material can be used to restore teeth destroyed by decay.& ; It can also be used to change the& ;shape, size and color of your teeth. http://www.northeastdentist.com/North-East-Dentist-teeth-crowns-used-root-Services-Procedures#service131 Sat, 19 May 2012 1:09:22 AM PDT Crowns and bridges& ;are teeth restorations used& ;to cover or repair& ;damaged teeth.& ;They are used to restore& ;decayed, fractured and/or cracked teeth. They are also used to repair teeth after root canal treatments and to& ;cover& ;large,& ;defective fillings. Crowns (caps) can be made of gold, porcelain or porcelain and metal.& ;The material generally depends on a tooth's particular& ;aesthetic and strength requirements. Although& ;most posterior teeth& ;that have undergone& ;root canals would be protected with a crown,& ;many crowned teeth don't& ;require& ;or haven't& ;needed a root canal treatment. A fixed bridge is a series of three or more crowns used to replace one or more missing teeth.& ; These restorations are not removable. http://www.northeastdentist.com/North-East-Dentist-restortations-implant-Services-Procedures#service142 Sat, 19 May 2012 1:09:22 AM PDT http://www.northeastdentist.com/North-East-Dentist-bridge-maryland-replace-tooth-Services-Procedures#service134 Sat, 19 May 2012 1:09:22 AM PDT A Maryland Bridge is a& ;less invasive& ;way to& ;replace a missing tooth than a conventional bridge.& ;This type of bridge& ;can be used to replace a single tooth,& ;though the supporting teeth must& ;have very small or no fillings. http://www.northeastdentist.com/North-East-Dentist-guards-night-teeth-bruxism-Services-Procedures#service137 Sat, 19 May 2012 1:09:22 AM PDT Unlike standard, over-the-counter mouth guards, Night Guards are custom-made from& ;a high-impact acrylic and are& ;created in a dental laboratory.& ;They are& ;designed and adjusted to& ;comfortably fit your teeth& ;while preventing pain and unwanted tooth movement. Night Guards& ;are used to treat certain types of jaw and TMJ disease.& ; They also& ;work to& ;control the damaging effects of bruxism (teeth grinding).& ;Night Guards help to prevent the future& ;need for expensive reconstruction. http://www.northeastdentist.com/North-East-Dentist-oral-surgery-Services-Procedures#service140 Sat, 19 May 2012 1:09:22 AM PDT http://www.northeastdentist.com/North-East-Dentist-dentures-partial-complete-implants-Services-Procedures#service135 Sat, 19 May 2012 1:09:22 AM PDT Partial and& ;complete dentures& ;can be removed by the patient.& ;Partial dentures are less expensive than bridges& ;and implants& ;yet& ;aren't nearly& ;as& ;aesthetic nor as& ;comfortable.& ;Partial dentures often& ;promote tooth& ;decay and gum disease, particularly& ;when combined with poor dental hygiene. Complete dentures are made of a high-impact acrylic.& ; Partial dentures can be made of acrylic or a combination of& ;acrylic and metal. Both partial and complete dentures can be anchored by implants.& ;Implants provide a big advantage to denture users because they can help to prevent dentures from& ;'floating', particularly in the lower jaw.& ; http://www.northeastdentist.com/North-East-Dentist-therapy-periodontal-Services-Procedures#service141 Sat, 19 May 2012 1:09:22 AM PDT http://www.northeastdentist.com/North-East-Dentist-tooth-root-canals-dies-Services-Procedures#service136 Sat, 19 May 2012 1:09:22 AM PDT When& ;a tooth's& ;pulp and/or& ;nerve-ending& ;dies or becomes infected, the inside of the tooth can be cleansed and filled, helping to save and restore& ;the tooth.& ; Back teeth with root canals usually require crowns to prevent fracture. http://www.northeastdentist.com/North-East-Dentist-nitrous-oxide-before-way-Services-Procedures#service138 Sat, 19 May 2012 1:09:22 AM PDT Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas) is a good& ;way to control anxiety& ;before and during& ;dental procedures.
