Prosthodontic Treatment in Guelph
Looking for prosthodontic treatment in Guelph? Prosthodontics refers to the category of dental treatment which focuses on the restoration of missing or heavily-damaged teeth. Prosthodontic treatment can also include cosmetic procedures such as veneers and crowns to improve the appearance one or several teeth.
Prosthodontic treatment includes all of the following:
Crowns & Veneers
Techniques including crowns and veneers can be employed to rebuild teeth which have been heavily worn down and/or are in need of significant reconstruction. In other cases, these treatments can be used to repair misaligned, stained or unaesthetic teeth.
Implants
For those missing one or many teeth, and wanting a permanent and fixed solution to replacing them, implants are often the answer. A dental implant is a titanium or ceramic peg that replaced the root of the tooth. A surgery is done to place the implant(s) in the jaw bone. Usually a healing period is required prior to fabricating a crown on top of the implant.
Extractions
Sometimes, when a tooth is too damaged or the supporting tissue is severely compromised, it must be extracted. There are many options to replace teeth after a tooth extraction
Bridges
Bridges can be used to replace a small number of missing teeth, by attaching a fake replacement tooth which is then anchored to the natural teeth on either side. Bridgework requires strong existing teeth to be a suitable treatment option.
Dentures
When a patient is missing many teeth, dentures can be the solution. Dentures can be supported by implants to give you superior fit, function and aesthetics compared to conventional dentures.
