Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Designs
How often should I floss?
Daily flossing is recommended to prevent cavities from developing between teeth, where toothbrushes cannot reach effectively. Regular flossing also contributes to maintaining healthy gums.
What's the difference between a "crown" and a "cap"?
Crowns and caps are essentially the same thing - restorations used to repair severely damaged teeth. They cover all or most of the tooth after removal of old fillings, fractured tooth structure, and decay. These restorations can be made from various materials including gold, porcelain, composites, or stainless steel. Dentists use the term 'crown' for all these restorations, while patients often refer to tooth-colored ones as 'caps' and metal ones as 'crowns'.
What's the difference between a "bridge" and a "partial denture"?
Both bridges and partial dentures are used to replace missing teeth. A bridge is permanently attached to adjacent teeth or implants, while a partial denture is removable and attached to existing teeth with clasps. Generally, patients tend to prefer bridges over partial dentures.
What about "silver" fillings versus "white" fillings?
While amalgam (silver) fillings are considered safe by the U.S. Public Health Service, many patients now prefer tooth-colored composite fillings. These 'white' fillings bond to the tooth structure, potentially strengthening teeth weakened by decay. They are often less sensitive to temperature changes and offer improved aesthetics. However, tooth-colored fillings aren't suitable for all situations, and severely damaged teeth may require a crown for optimal results.
Do I need to have a root canal just because I have to have a crown?
Not necessarily. While many teeth that have undergone root canal treatment require crowns to restore strength and function, not every tooth needing a crown requires a root canal procedure.
Why are my teeth sensitive?
Tooth sensitivity often results from minor gum recession, which exposes the underlying dentin. This allows easier access for food and water to reach sensitive nerve endings. Various treatments are available, including specialized toothpastes, gels, and dental procedures. If you experience significant tooth sensitivity, we recommend discussing your options with our dental team.
What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is an artificial replacement for a missing tooth or tooth root. It's typically made of titanium and surgically inserted into the jaw bone beneath the gum line. The procedure usually involves minimal discomfort. Over several months, the implant fuses with the bone, creating a stable foundation for attaching a new artificial tooth.
What are the benefits of dental implants?
Dental implants offer several advantages: they look and function like natural teeth, provide a permanent solution for tooth loss, require only routine dental hygiene visits for maintenance, help prevent bone loss and further tooth loss, eliminate the need for removable dentures, and allow for targeted treatment of specific missing teeth without affecting adjacent healthy teeth. Reach out to Dental Designs today to get started!
