What is a dental crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made restoration placed over a weakened tooth to restore its strength, function, and appearance. It’s ideal for teeth damaged by decay, trauma, or root canal therapy, and can improve aesthetics by covering chipped or discolored teeth.
What does root canal therapy involve?
Root canal therapy treats an infected tooth by removing infected tissue, cleaning the root canal system, and sealing it with filling material. It saves the tooth and prepares it for a final restoration like a crown.
Why is dental extraction necessary?
Dental extraction removes a tooth that’s severely damaged, decayed, or impacted, preventing complications like infection or crowding. It’s done under anesthesia for comfort, promoting oral health and preparing for further treatments if needed.
What are dental fillings made of?
Dental fillings are typically made of composite resin, a tooth-colored material matched to your natural teeth. At Sydney Dental Clinic, we select the best material to restore cavities, ensuring durability and a natural appearance.
How does orthodontics improve oral health?
Orthodontics repositions misaligned teeth, improving function and aesthetics. Straight teeth are easier to clean, reducing risks of decay and gum disease, while alleviating chewing stress that causes headaches or TMJ issues.
What are dentures and their benefits?
Dentures are prosthetic devices replacing missing teeth, supported by oral tissues or implants. They restore chewing, speech, and appearance, prevent teeth shifting, and enhance confidence with a natural-looking, functional smile.
What causes gum disease?
Gum disease is caused by plaque buildup, leading to gum and bone degradation. It causes bad breath, tooth pain, and tooth loss. Regular dental visits and good oral hygiene can stop its progression.
Why is wisdom teeth surgery needed?
Wisdom teeth surgery removes impacted or misaligned third molars to prevent pain, gum infections, or damage to adjacent teeth. X-rays assess their position, guiding a tailored plan for optimal oral health.
