Restorative Dentistry in Edmonton
Restorative dentistry plays a pivotal role in maintaining oral health, and braces are essential to this domain. At Viva Dental Wellness in Windermere, Edmonton, we focus on the corrective potential of braces to align and straighten teeth, thereby improving the aesthetics of your smile and enhancing your oral functionality. Misaligned teeth can lead to many dental problems, including difficulty in cleaning, uneven wear, and even discomfort. Choosing braces as a restorative treatment takes a significant step towards a healthier, more balanced dental structure.
Bridges
If you are missing a natural tooth along your dental arch and are concerned about the gap’s appearance or that the adjacent teeth may drift out of alignment, a bridge could be the right solution. Bridges are similar to crowns, but bridges’ bridge’ the gap between teeth by attaching a false tooth to its neighboring crown to fill in the space and retain the appropriate amount of spacing between teeth to eliminate the risk of drifting.
Partial and Full Dentures
While dentures are traditionally associated with full mouth tooth replacement, the advent of partial dentures has provided an alternative for patients who do not require a complete set. Unlike braces, which are designed to correct the position of existing teeth, dentures are used to replace missing teeth. At Viva Dental Wellness, we understand the importance of a comprehensive approach. While our focus on braces aims to rectify alignment issues, we also acknowledge the role of dentures in restorative dentistry, providing solutions that cater to a wide range of dental needs.
Dental Implants
Implants offer a permanent solution for missing teeth, working in harmony with treatments like braces. While braces adjust the position of natural teeth, implants can be strategically placed to fill gaps, ensuring an even distribution of bite pressure post-alignment. At Viva Dental Wellness, we recognize the interplay between different restorative techniques. Our dental professionals are adept at assessing your unique needs and recommending a combined treatment plan, where necessary, to achieve optimal oral health outcomes.
Root Canal Therapy
The inside of your tooth is referred to as the pulp, and it is responsible for keeping your tooth healthy via the blood supply it receives and protecting the sensitive nerve within it. When teeth are damaged, as in a deep cavity, infection, or trauma, the tooth is at risk of spreading infection and/or loss. To protect the tooth’s inner chamber from further risk of damage or infection, our dentist may recommend a root canal (or root canal therapy). This is because sealing the tooth before removing the tissue from within it will perpetuate the infection and lead to health risks. A root canal is done by accessing the tooth’s inner pulp, removing the tissue housed inside, and cleaning out the infection. Once the inside of the tooth is clean, the tooth will be sealed with gutta percha material before closing the entry point with a filling or a crown. Thanks to root canal therapy, your tooth is no longer at risk of loss, and a well-crafted dental crown ensures tooth strength and function.
