Fillings
Crowns
When a traditional bridge is used to replace a missing tooth, the adjacent teeth are cut down to pegs in order to fit the cemented bridge in place. You end up needing multiple crowns to replace the destroyed teeth. This method of tooth replacement can be very esthetic and functional for a period of time. However, a tooth-supported bridge does not replace the bone that previously surrounded the root. Since there is no longer a root to hold the bone in place, the bone deteriorates, or melts away.
Bridges

Root Canal Treatment
The most serious breaks are those that damage the nerve. In addition to making and placing a crown, your dentist probably will need to do root canal treatment to remove the damaged nerve and blood vessels.

Periodontal Surgery
Crown lengthening ) before a crown can be placed. If the fracture is below the gum line, close to, or below the bone holding the tooth in the jaw, periodontal surgery is necessary to remove some bone to create enough room to place the crown over the root properly. If the tooth has a split root, it is often painful because the tissues surrounding the root may be inflamed or infected. In most cases, the tooth will have to be removed.

Dentures
A removable prosthesis, such as a partial denture, actually accelerates the bone resorbtion process, resulting in more rapid bone deterioration. In addition, the clasps which hold the partial denture in place put extreme pressure on the natural teeth they hook onto, loosening them and in many cases, eventually leading to the loss of those teeth. Most patients with partial dentures state that they are uncomfortable and that they rarely wear them.

Dental Implants
Information on gum disease (gingivitis and periodontitis) and treatments (dental implants, scaling, planning, regeneration, tissue grafts, laser surgery).

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
5. PAIN FOLLOWING ORAL SURGERY would be most severe within the first 6 to 8 hours after the operation. To limit the amount of pain, you should take Motrin 800 mg or Advil before the numbness wears off. If you have to take the prescribed severe pain medication, remember to have some food intake prior to that and to start slowly. Do not drink alcoholic beverages while taking prescription pain medication. Do not wait for the pain to become unbearable before using some form of pain medication, as then it will be more difficult to control. Moderate to severe pain usually does not last longer than 24 to 48 hours, and there should be no more than the slight pain or discomfort after the third day. Persistent or increasing pain 3 to 4 days following oral surgery may be caused by early loss of the blood clot (dry socket) or infection. If you feel that this may be happening to you, please contact the office so that we can help make you more comfortable.
Tooth Extractions
In many instances, bone loss can take place while teeth are lost or extracted. A bone graft at the time of a tooth extraction can prevent resorbtion of the jaw so that we can place a properly-sized implant later.
