Can a deep filling cause nerve damage?
Hi, Yes, a deep filling can cause nerve damage if the decay extends very close or even into the “pulp” nerve chamber. This is why all dentists urge their patients to take care of their decay immediately. Often times patients will say “but it never hurt before I got this done since you did this filling I’m having pain “. But here’s the truth of the matter, just because you’re not feeling any pain, doesn’t mean that the bacteria in your mouth causing the decay aren’t continually working and “chomping” at you’re tooth structure. You don’t feel it because it’s all internal. But now when the dentist goes in and starts drilling away the decay, the nerve becomes jarred and starts reacting. Think of it as carpenters ants chewing away at the foundation of your home. Usually, unless it’s already too late, the homeowner doesn’t know the damage is happening until a repair is necessary and you touch the offending wall and down it comes. READ MORE
How long do ceramic implants last?
No one can ever guarantee or tell you with certainty the longevity of any restoration in your mouth. Though as dentists we try our best to give your the strongest and best material for your mouth conditions, chips cracks or beaks may still occur because you are constantly using your mouth for chewing. Think of your teeth restorations as the tires on your car. Your individual driving habits to a large degree determine the longevity and condition of your tires and when they will be needed to be replaced. READ MORE
Can you fix a front teeth gap?
Yes, a gap in your front teeth can be fixed. It can be as easy as placing tooth-colored material or porcelain material to close it if the gap is small. However, if the gap is very wide more extensive workup will be needed. Your dentist will have to take Xrays and models to see what the best treatment option would be for you so that you achieve a natural and beautiful esthetic result. READ MORE
Can you have anesthesia for tooth sealants?
Of course, you can get anesthetic for most dental procedures but in the case of sealants, because there isn’t any actual drilling in the teeth, anesthetic isn’t necessary as it is a totally painless procedure. READ MORE
