Understanding Tooth-Saving Procedures

Tooth-saving procedures are essential treatments aimed at preserving natural teeth that have been damaged by decay, injury, or other issues. The goal of these procedures is to maintain the integrity and functionality of the tooth, thereby avoiding the need for more invasive treatments or tooth loss. At Happy Smiles Dental Clinic, we offer a range of advanced tooth-saving treatments designed to protect and prolong the life of your natural teeth.

Why Tooth-Saving Procedures Are Important

Preserving your natural teeth is crucial for maintaining overall oral health and function. Tooth-saving procedures help prevent the need for extractions and complex replacements, such as implants or bridges. By saving your natural teeth, you maintain proper alignment, chewing function, and a natural appearance. These procedures can also help prevent further oral health issues that may arise from missing teeth.

Our Tooth-Saving Treatments

Root Canals

A root canal is a treatment designed to save a tooth that has become infected or severely damaged. During the procedure, the pulp of the tooth is removed, and the inside is cleaned and sealed. This treatment alleviates pain, restores tooth function, and prevents the need for extraction. Our team ensures a comfortable experience with our gentle approach and modern technology.

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are custom-made caps placed over a tooth that has been significantly damaged or weakened. They restore the tooth's strength, shape, and size, providing protection from further damage. Crowns are crafted to match the color and appearance of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural-looking result.

Bonding

Dental bonding is a procedure used to repair minor chips, cracks, or discolorations in teeth. A tooth-colored resin is applied to the affected area and hardened with a special light. Bonding helps improve the tooth's appearance and function while preserving as much of the natural tooth structure as possible.

Inlays and Onlays

Inlays and onlays are custom-made restorations used to repair cavities or damage to the chewing surfaces of the teeth. Inlays fit within the contours of the tooth, while onlays cover a larger portion of the tooth's surface. Both options are designed to blend with your natural teeth and provide a durable, long-lasting solution.

What to Expect During Treatment

When undergoing a tooth-saving procedure, you can expect a thorough consultation and examination to determine the best treatment plan for your needs. Our team will walk you through each step of the process, explaining the procedure and addressing any concerns you may have. A real time pictographic display is also available with an intra oral scanner.
