CROWNS & BRIDGES

Restorative dentistry refers to the treatments and procedures used to repair and restore teeth in cases of decay, damage, or loss. Our team offers high-quality crowns and bridges to restore your smile to its naturally healthy, beautiful state!

What is a crown?

Dental crowns are used to repair teeth suffering from damage, decay, or infection. Our dentists recommend crowns to cap the existing structure of the affected tooth. This is done to restore its shape, strength, and function, giving you a complete and healthy smile again.

Crowns can also be used in cosmetic procedures to improve the appearance of teeth that are stained, discolored, or misshapen. You will be able to care for your crown, just like a natural tooth.

What is a bridge?

Dental bridges use a series of crowns to replace one or more missing teeth. Bridges are permanently anchored in place and supported by two crowns placed on either side of the gap. Once placed, your bridge will replace the missing teeth, complete your smile, and restore the healthy function of your bite.

Without treatment, the surrounding teeth may drift out of alignment to fill the gap, leading to an improper bite, crooked teeth, and an increased risk of gum disease and TMJ eventually causing lasting damage to your overall oral health.

DENTAL FILILNGS
What is a filling?

Fillings can be used to repair cavities and other minor dental damage. You can keep your natural teeth and your restorations healthy by brushing at least twice daily, limiting sugary snacks, using a soft-bristle brush and fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily, and visiting us at least twice a year.

Procedure

The procedure for placing a tooth-coloured filling is relatively simple. Before a filling is placed, the area will be numbed (usually by a numbing injection), the tooth is then “prepared” by removing any decay. Next, the filling material is placed into the tooth. Once it has bonded to the tooth structure, the process is complete. At MJ Dental, we provide top-quality composite fillings that are strong, effective, and look completely natural.

DIGITAL X RAYS

Digital radiography combines the power of computer technology with electronic sensors and very small bursts of radiation. Instead of printing out on film, the image forms almost as soon as the sensor is placed in the mouth and projected to a computer screen.

When do you need a dental x ray?

Oral x-rays are used to check out the health of your mouth, gums, and teeth. X-rays are pictures of the inside of your mouth, which your dentist can use to diagnose problems.
For example:

- Cavities,
- Tooth decay,
- Impacted teeth.
