Ceramic crown is a prosthetic dental replacement which, in its shape, colour and function completely replaces the natural crown of the tooth.
They are given in cases of extensive dental tissue loss, due to caries, and deteriorated tooth integrity due to numerous fillings.
Since a substantial dental tissue loss always occurs in treated teeth, and afterwards they often become brittle, it is recommended that ceramic crowns are always applied on such, treated (devitalized) teeth.
Ceramic bridge is made if we want to replace one or more lost teeth without inserting an implant in the place of the lost tooth.
Few years back crowns were not made of only ceramic. They were mostly ceramic fused to metal. The metal on which ceramic was fused shows with a black metal line which is not aesthetically appealing.
Such crowns can be replaced with a Metal free all ceramic crown. Being metal free & with the right tint & translucencies it can blend exactly with the adjacent teeth to look like natural teeth.
Gum contouring is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that can change the shape of your gums. This procedure is used to cut away excessive gum tissue that is giving you a “gummy” smile or to restore gum tissue that has receded and is now exposing too much of your teeth.
Root canal is the endodontic procedure performed to remove infection from the root canals so as to save the tooth.
Damage to teeth, such as cracks or deep cavities, can reach down to the nerve tissue and blood vessels residing in the soft pulp of the tooth. Damage to the pulp can lead to painful swelling and the formation of abscesses. If left unchecked, this could lead to loss of tooth or tooth removal.
Root canal is performed in tooth having recurring caries & infection, the tooth is sensitive to hot & cold foods & there is darkening of tooth because of infection.
Depending on the severity of the infection single sitting root canal treatment can also be performed.
