A constant dental examination is key to maintain oral health. The early detection of problems like cavities, gum disease, and tooth decay can easily be taken care of when traced at early stages. Early detection leads to efficient solutions with less pain. During a routine dental exam, our dentist usually checks for signs of these common issues, as well as complete an exam for oral cancer. At Dental Cosmetic Center of Edison, we also do a complete dental x-ray during the dental examination to have a better view of your teeth structure and detect any major or minor issue or monitor the need for removal of wisdom tooth.
Dental hygiene the foundation for oral health. Regular brushing, flossing, and visits with your friendly hygienist are essential for eliminating the acid and bacteria that cause tooth decay and gum disease. Our expert team of dental hygienists is here to help you avoid issues such as dental cavities, gum disease and bad breath with a range of individually tailored preventive treatments. Dental Cosmetic Center of Edison is the best Dental Hygiene Clinic around Edison that can also removes any plaque from your teeth that may have built up in certain areas. Your teeth will be professionally cleaned with special equipment and pastes, this process is also known as scaling and polishing.
We admit that all oral health problems are serious, but this one is deadly. It is a great reason why we recommend everyone to visit the dentists regularly for oral exams and screenings. Our team of experts is always on the lookout for any changes or abnormalities that may be signs of decay, infection, or oral cancer, and you should be on the lookout for them at home, too, especially if you fall into any of the high-risk categories. Oral cancer is unfortunately on the rise in the USA, but early detection significantly increases the chance of recovery.
Root canal treatment is also known as Endodontics. Root canal treatment is needed when pulp tissue in the root chamber beneath a tooth becomes infected. This infection may spread through the root canal system and can result in severe and constant pain which could eventually lead to an abscess, which could lead to a brain/ neck infection or a potentially life- threatening condition. In case the root canal treatment is not carried out, the tooth may need to be taken out.
A dental crown is a cap that is employed to treat highly decayed, damaged, or malformed teeth. If such teeth are spoiling your smile, crowns can offer a neat, natural-colored cover-up. Crowns are also known as ‘caps’ and shaped like a tooth. The cap gets fit completely over a whole tooth and conceals defects caused by chips, decay, discoloration or large fillings. Before placing the crown, our dentists would make sure that excess or decayed portions of the affected tooth have been removed to provide space for the restoration and ensure a sound underlying structure before treatment can begin. Made from a variety of materials, including metal, porcelain, resin or ceramic, the crown looks and functions as a natural tooth. It is also able to restore both the appearance and oral health of a decayed or compromised smile.
A crown protects a tooth from decay, but unable to provide any protection against the gum disease, so it’s important to keep the area clean and free from bacteria. The best way to care for your crown is to stay on top of your oral hygiene – this means keeping your teeth and gums healthy by brushing with fluoride toothpaste twice day and flossing between your teeth. You also need to see your dentist regularly for check-ups so they can keep an eye on your crown and the tooth underneath.
A dental bridge is designed to bridge gaps in the jaw. It is a procedure, available at Dental Cosmetic Center of Edison, whereby the gap created because of the absence of a tooth, surrounding teeth will slowly begin to shift out of place to fill the void created. It is always advisable to fill such gaps in the jaw because it may result in a malocclusion, which can cause discomfort, gum disease, speech impediments, and TMJ disorder.
The gap is bridged by inserting an artificial tooth, known as a pontic, in the gap, and two anchoring dental crowns. Typically, a crown exists on either side of the pontic. A bridge is a fixed dental restoration, not a temporary one. Once it has been fixed in place, it can only be removed by a dentist. With proper care and oral hygiene, the lifespan of a dental bridge can go up to 10 years and even more. To ensure that no bacteria build up between the pontic and the gum tissue, the false tooth is usually secured in place to the gum with dental cement.
Our dentists ensure that bridge preparation and fitting stages, and the procedure is no more painful or uncomfortable than having a dental filling. A dental bridge provides an effective means of treating a missing tooth, non-surgically. The alternative to having a bridge fitted is a dental implant.
