Dental Implant Restoration

If a person is missing one or more teeth, this can be detrimental to his or her self-esteem. A toothless smile is just as bad for your oral health. Dental implants allow easier access between teeth to make brushing and flossing easier. Dental implants provide a strong foundation for permanent teeth and dental bridges and they are made to match your natural teeth. Our doctors at Advantage Dentistry are here to tell you all about the benefits of dental implants.

Missing teeth can cause the face to sag, making a person appear older than they are. Dental implants look and feel like your own teeth, therefore they allow you to improve speech, improve oral health, and making eating and speaking much easier and less frustrating. Implants are very durable and will last a lifetime if taken care of. To get started on the road to restoring your smile, give our doctors a call.

Dental Bonding Breakage

Dental bonding is a cosmetic procedure that our doctors at Advantage Dentistry use to fix chips, cracks, or fractures in teeth. Accidents happen, so if you chip a tooth, dental bonding can be used to repair it. Though dental bonding has the same appearance of tooth enamel, it doesn’t have the same strength. Though dental bonding has many advantages and can last up to 7 years with proper oral hygiene, we’d like to let you know what to do if the bonding breaks.

Dental bonding is made up of composite resin like clay, and it molds to the tooth that needs repair. The success of your bonding isn’t up to the dentist however, it’s up to you. Dental bonding can be damaged by acidic foods and eventually wear over time if a patient isn’t careful. It’s important to brush your teeth at least twice a day and floss at least once a day to ensure that the bonding stays intact. If you notice a difference in the tooth that has been bonded or notice chips or cracks on the tooth, give us a call immediately as it may need to be restored.

Dental Crowns for Strengthening and Protecting Teeth

When teeth are weak, they are at risk for even more damage. When weakened teeth still have a healthy root, at Advantage Dentistry in Kenmore, NY, we utilize dental crowns. Dental crowns save a weak tooth from further damage, restore its functionality, and improve a smile.

Dental crowns are often needed when there is a cavity or other damage that is too large for a filling. It is a cap that goes on a tooth when the root is still intact. The tooth is reshaped so that the crown can fit on top. We are able to make crowns of gold, porcelain, or porcelain fused to metal. The crown is able to look and feel just like a normal tooth, so your smile will look complete again. We do this by taking impressions of the reshaped tooth and the area surrounding it and sending it to a dental laboratory. The dental lab creates the completely custom tooth within a couple of weeks. During this time, we will fit you with a temporary crown so you can continue use of that tooth. When the permanent crown is cemented into place, it can last for up to fifteen years with good care.

Weak teeth need to be strengthened and protected to continue a long life in your mouth. To schedule an appointment with Advantage Dentistry in Kenmore, NY, call our office at (716) 877-2275. Appointments may also be made through our website, www.advantagedentistry.com.

Dental Bonding

Repairing chips and cracks in your smile is easy and affordable. If you have been hiding your smile because of a chip, discoloration, or even a misalignment, dental bonding may be what you have been waiting for. At Advantage Dentistry here in Kenmore, NY, we offer our patients dental bonding so that they can get back the smile they are happy to show off!

Chips and cracks weaken teeth and pave the road for future complications. In addition, they can really make a smile appear dull and unsightly. Thankfully, there is a solution. In our Kenmore, NY dental practice, we have been restoring the smiles and the oral health of our patients by providing dental bonding. Bonding is a process where a tooth-colored composite resin is used to fix an imperfection or fill a cavity.  Your dentist will lightly etch the surface of the tooth to create a strong bond, and the resin is shaped over the chip or gap. For whitening, the resin is painted over the whole tooth. A light is used to harden the resin and then it is polished to shine like a real tooth.

If you are unhappy with your smile, consider getting an upgrade with dental bonding! To schedule your appointment with Advantage Dentistry of Kenmore, NY, call our office at (716) 877-2275 or visit our website, www.advantagedentistry.com.
