What Procedures can Sedation Dentistry Be Used For?
Composite Fillings
People of all ages get cavities, not just children. Thankfully, we use composite fillings to offer the best alternative to old-school amalgam (silver) fillings.Composite resin is easily shaped and resembles the color of teeth. This allows for a natural looking cavity or crack filling solution. Usually accomplished in a single sitting, composite filling are durable and great for small to mid-sized restorations.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns cover the entire, visible tooth as a means of restoring the tooth’s original size and shape. Crowns can be used to cover teeth with root canals, fix severely broken teeth, and are used in sometimes in dental implants and dental bridges. Porcelain is the most popular material used in crowns because it is aesthetically pleasing and can be highly durable with proper care.Two visits are usually required to take mouth moulds, have the custom crowns crafted, and then have the crowns placed.
Dental Bridges
Missing teeth is unfortunately rather common for many Nashvillians. Whether a tooth is lost to decay or an accident, dental bridges are the perfect solution for closing the gaps left by missing teeth. In addition, chewing and speaking abilities are often improved with dental bridges. There are multiple types of bridges to choose from. Speak with your Nashville dentist for the best option to fit your needs.This procedure generally requires two visits. The first visit allocates teeth prep and custom molds, while the second visit is used for placing and fitting the custom-made bridge comfortably in the patient’s mouth.
Dental Implants
Dental implants, related to dental bridges, are most sought after by those missing teeth or even fully edentulous (without teeth). Implants are able to restore normal mouth functions back to the patient, such as the ability to chew and speak more clearly, in a long lasting and permanent way.During this procedure, “implant screws” are positioned into the jawbone. Temporary teeth are then fit and positioned to the protruding bits during osseointegration. Once the site is healed, new permanent teeth are affixed to the implant. A natural-looking new set of teeth can boost your confidence in the most extraordinary ways. This normally painful and uncomfortable procedure is made far more manageable with the help of sedation dentistry. Sedation will help you relax, numb you to the pain, and help you keep calm throughout the process.
