Restorative Dentistry

A dental post and core are used to support a crown when there is insufficient tooth structure remaining after root canal treatment.

The crown placement involves tooth preparation, impressions, and the fitting of a temporary crown before the final one is placed.

Cleaning dentures regularly helps prevent plaque buildup and stains, ensuring a healthy mouth and long-lasting dentures.

It’s recommended to wait at least 1-2 hours before eating after getting a filling to ensure it fully sets and avoids discomfort.

Fillings may need replacement if they wear down, crack, or develop decay under them over time.

There are different types of dentures, including full, partial, immediate, and implant-supported dentures, each catering to specific needs.

Dental implants are generally a longer-lasting and more durable solution than bridges, with better support and longevity.

Getting a dental bridge typically takes two visits: one for measurements and another for the fitting and adjustment.

Sticky, hard, or chewy foods can damage dentures or cause discomfort. Avoiding these ensures longevity and comfort.

If your tooth has deep decay or infection affecting the pulp, a root canal may be needed; otherwise, a filling suffices.
