Dental Cement For Bridges is required to cover the gap that is created by one or two missing teeth. To bridge this gap, false teeth or pontics are installed between the crowns of teeth on either side of the gap, called abutment teeth. You get all types of dental bridges that help you to restore your smile. You can either go for traditional bridges, cantilever bridges, or Maryland bonded bridges. Dental cementing for bridges process involves the preparation of the abutment teeth, recontouring them to be able to support the pontic. Impressions are taken from the teeth, which are considered as a model for the bridge, pontic, and crown. Next, you will get a new porcelain or metal bridge that is checked and adjusted for a proper fit. You might have to make more than two trips to make sure of the fitting. However, that depends on your case. Once it sets in perfectly, the bridge is cemented into place. Getting Multiple Root Canals Root canals need not to be spelled scary! Despite the fear of the word causes, Dr. Burkett makes it a very simple procedure that is associated with very little pain. It is a common treatment required for a tooth with inflamed or infected pulp, due to a deep cavity or trauma to the teeth. The process involves cleaning out the infected tissue from the pulp chamber, disinfecting it, and then sealing the area. You might require a crown on top of the tooth structure that prevents cracking or chipping—done and dusted! Nothing to fear or whimper about. Sometimes patients do require Multiple Root Canals, but that depends on individual cases. Dr. Burkett offers every dental procedure under one roof.
