Porcelain Dental Veneers
Porcelain dental veneers will help when you have teeth that are chipped, weakened, or discolored. In addition to the cosmetic benefits that you will get with porcelain veneers, they can also be helpful in returning structural integrity to teeth that are damaged. Rid your teeth of unsightly cracks or chips in your teeth. No more yellowed teeth and teeth that may actually be stronger than your original teeth. Porcelain veneers are custom made and fit over your natural teeth and will help to restore your beautiful smile and will also increase the strength of teeth that receive a porcelain veneer. Since porcelain veneers have a finish that is translucent, people will never know that you have a porcelain veneer. The only thing they will see is beautiful teeth and a beautiful smile. Your southeast Michigan Cambridge Dental Group dentist is skilled at fitting porcelain dental veneers to damaged teeth.
Porcelain Dental Crowns
Porcelain dental crowns may be recommended by your Cambridge dentist when your tooth is too decayed and will no longer hold fillings. A porcelain dental crown may also be recommended when a tooth is cracked or broken or the tooth may possibly crack down to the root area. Porcelain dental crowns completely cover your existing tooth and fit snugly at the gum line. A porcelain dental crown is used to protect what is left of your tooth. One of the benefits of teeth that are fitted with porcelain dental crowns is that the tooth looks and functions just like one of your own teeth. If you are in danger of permanently losing your natural tooth, check with your Cambridge Dental Group dentist to see if a porcelain dental crown will work out for you.
Dental Implants
Dental implants have been featured in television shows involving extreme dental makeovers. But did you know the benefits of dental implants far exceed cosmetic dental make overs? Dental implants are used when you have lost one or more teeth and do not want a dental bridge. Dental implants may also be recommended for people who wear dentures but need one or more teeth for a partial denture to clasp to. Dental implants are set into the jaw bone and bone will actually form around the implanted area to form a tight and permanent bond between the jaw bone and the implanted tooth. Your Dearborn Heights, Michigan, Cambridge Dental Group dentist can assess whether your jaw bone is strong enough to accept dental implants. Your Cambridge dentist can also help to determine whether you should actually get dental implants or whether another dental fixture or device would be more appropriate in your situation. Make your appointment today to begin an extreme dental make over or to help decide whether dental implants are right for you.
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is used in a manner that is similar to the use of porcelain dental veneers. However with dental bonding a thin layer of plastic is applied and shaped as desired. Dental bonding may be used to hide natural flaws in teeth through the application to the front of a tooth or teeth. Results of dental bonding are accomplished with one visit to our southeast Michigan dental offices and the results are improved appearance and improved teeth. Dental bonding may be just what you need to quickly correct a problem tooth. Consult with your Cambridge Dental Group dentist in southeast Michigan to see if dental bonding procedures are right for you.
Dentures
Dentures have been used for centuries. George Washington was know to have worn dentures. However the dentures that were worn by our fore fathers are far different than the dentures that you expect to wear today. Todays dentures come in many different shades to match the teeth that they are replacing or you may elect to have your dentures created in a brighter and whiter shade. Either way, the dentists of Cambridge Dental Group are experienced in fitting you for dentures. Dentures may be created as full replacement or partial replacement prosthetics. Full replacement dentures may be called for when your teeth are beyond the ability of restoration or when it becomes too expensive for you to have natural teeth restored. Partial dentures are used whenever possible, and in particular as lower dentures where the shape of the mouth and jaw is not conducive to creating a bond via natural suction. Partial dentures employ clamps or clasps to attach to natural teeth and therefore tend to stay in place better than full dentures. This enables you to enjoy more foods and to better chew without the worry of your dentures sliding around. Your Cambridge Dental Group dentist will first try to save as many of your natural teeth as possible and utilize partial dentures whenever dentures are called for. However, in the event that your teeth cannot be saved, we will help you to be fitted with natural looking and form fitting complete dentures that are comfortable to wear and offer a natural appearance.
Dental Bridges
Dental bridges, simply stated, are a false tooth or teeth spanning an empty space between existing teeth that is glued into place using the existing teeth as anchors to form a permanent "bridge". Dental bridges, once in place offer a natural appearance, so that no one will notice that you don't have all of your own teeth. Bridges can generally being fitted into the mouth in just a couple of visits and once in place will not require any additional treatments for several years. Your Cambridge Dental Group dentist can advise you whether you are a candidate for a dental bridge. Stop in, call or contact us to make an appointment and learn whether a dental bridge is in your future.
