Tooth-Colored Restorations

To understand more about the benefits of implant-supported dentures, we need to take a quick look at what happens when teeth are lost or extracted. Over time the bone that once supported the tooth is resorbed into the body, and this causes the jaw to shrink and change shape, which is why dentures have to be constantly adjusted for a tight fit. Implants are surgically inserted into the jaw and fuse with the surrounding bone to become a permanent fixture in the mouth that prevents any further bone loss. Once the implants have stabilized your dentures can be adjusted and attached to the implants to prevent them from wobbling and keep them securely in place.Benefits of implant-supported dentures Dentures retain a snug fit as they’re held continuously against the gum line Easier for patients to speak without mumbling or slurring their words Implant supported dentures offer three times the biting force of traditional dentures which means a patient has less diet restrictions Implant supported dentures offer three times the biting force of traditional dentures which means a patient has less diet restrictions Helps retain facial structures as implants stimulate the bone and prevent future bone loss from occurring No more nasty tasting adhesives Renewed confidence as a patient can forget about what their teeth are doing and get on with enjoying life If you believe that stabilized dentures maybe be an option for you, call us today at (954) 510-4300 to schedule your consultation.

Inlays/Onlays/White Fillings

Inlays and Onlays are restorations that are made to rear teeth that have a mild to moderate amount of decay. They are made of composite resin material, porcelain or gold by a dental laboratory. Once completed, they will be bonded to the tooth.

  • an inlay fills a hole inside the tooth
  • an onlay sits on top of the tooth to build up its shape.

Treatment

Treatment involves isolating the tooth and removing any old fillings or damaged tooth structure under local anesthesia. An impression of the tooth is made, then the inlay or onlay is created from porcelain, gold or composite resin material. The inlay/onlay is cemented securely into place. Adjustments may be made to ensure the tooth is comfortable to bite on.

Advantages of Tooth-Colored Restorations

There are many advantages to tooth-colored restorations. They are actually bonded to the teeth creating a tight, superior fit to the natural tooth. Such restorations can be used in instances where much of the tooth structure has been lost. The bond between tooth and composite filling is beneficial to the remaining tooth structure helping to prevent breakage.

Inlays and Onlays Also Offer the Following Benefits:

  • Made from tooth-colored material, inlays and onlays are virtually invisible.
  • Unlike metal fillings, inlays and onlays will not expand or contract in response to temperature changes caused by hot or cold foods diminishing the possibility of fracture.
  • Inlays and onlays require less tooth reduction than metal fillings allowing the dentist to conserve more natural tooth structure.
  • The durable material from which inlays and onlays are made helps them last up to 30 years, much longer than that of conventional amalgam fillings.
  • Inlays and onlays can replace silver fillings to create a healthier, more natural-looking smile.
  • By saving decayed teeth, inlays and onlays prevent the need for more extensive treatment later on.
