Is an implant the best way to replace a missing tooth?
Yes an implant is your best option. It has the best strength, durability and esthetics over any other options. READ MORE
Does a root canal require anesthesia?
Yes it always does READ MORE
Will cavities require root canals?
Not all cavities require getting a root canal. It all depends on the depth of the cavity and it’s closeness to the nerve which lies deep inside the tooth READ MORE
Loose tooth
If the tooth is loose and hurting, an X-ray needs to be taken to see if the tooth is fractured or has an infection. When teeth have trauma, the nerve can die off and cause bacteria to get inside the tooth cavity, which then turns into an abscess and becomes painful. If that is the case, root canal therapy and antibiotics may be needed. READ MORE
How can I close the gap between my frontal teeth?
Gaps can be closed by doing Veneers, Crowns, or Bonding to the teeth. Depending on the health of the existing teeth any of the 3 mentioned procedures can be done. Veneers and crowns are made of porcelain and permanently fixed to the tooth with dental cement and these do not stain. Bonding is tooth colored filling material that is bonded on the teeth and can stain over time. READ MORE
I am not very satisfied with my RCT. What should I do about it?
As long as all the nerves were found in the tooth and properly filled, it may take time for the area around the tooth to settle down. The tooth is connected to the bone by tiny ligaments and once all the swelling and irritation is gone the tooth should feel much better. Think of a Root Canal as having surgery and it takes time for the tooth and surrounding tissues to heal. READ MORE
When should I consider getting dental implants?
Dental implants should always be considered when there are missing teeth. They help maintain a healthy bone level and provide stability for biting forces in the mouth. READ MORE
