Fillings/Implants
Two common procedures available at Dentistry On 10 are dental fillings and dental implants.
Dental fillings
Dental fillings are traditional restorations used to restore the integrity of teeth that have suffered cavities or trauma. They are offered in various materials, including gold, composite, and porcelain. Many dental fillings used for patients today are made of a mixture of plastic and ceramic compounds. They are more cosmetically appealing as they mimic natural tooth structure. These composite resins are typically used on areas of the mouth that are visible to others, such as the front teeth or the top of the back molars.

There are two different types of dental fillings: direct and indirect.
Direct fillings are completed in one visit, as they are placed directly in the prepared tooth, while
indirect fillings such as
veneers,
crowns, and
inlays and onlays require two visits.
Dental implants
Dental implants are one of the best ways to replace missing teeth. They provide excellent strength and support, and closely mimic the functionality and beauty of a natural tooth. Missing teeth within a smile need to be addressed as soon as they occur to keep the teeth from shifting and resulting in bone loss. Dental implants come in two parts. The first part is the implant itself, which is a small cylinder made of titanium, this is implanted into the jawbone. This is how a dental implant derives its strength and stability. Second is the dental crown. A full dental crown is fabricated and cemented over the top of the implant. Patients with dental implants can smile with confidence knowing that no one will ever suspect that they have a restoration. Dental implants are the perfect alternative to traditional
dental bridges or cosmetic full or partial dentures.
