Gentle Root Canal Procedure
A root canal treatment removes infected pulp and then our gentle dentist Dr. Ward cleans and disinfects the tooth. She seals the tooth before restoring it with a crown or filling for protection. Root canal therapy, also known as endodontics, will relieve any pain you are feeling from a damaged tooth.
Do I Need a Root Canal?
First, we will take X-rays to determine if your tooth is infected. If you’re feeling pain or tenderness, it is likely you have an infected tooth. We then give you anesthesia to make you comfortable, and if you prefer, we can offer sedation to help you stay relaxed during the treatment. We remove the tooth’s pulp and nerve, then clean and disinfect the area before sealing and filling the tooth. If you require a dental crown, we place a tooth-colored dental crown that fully restores the functionality of your tooth. We make your crown to match your old tooth, so no one will even notice you have a crown!
Your Crown Dentists in Middletown
You may need a dental crown if you have a damaged or worn crown, or if your tooth is damaged beyond repair. A dental crown is a tooth-shaped “cap” that is placed over your old tooth, and your new crown is designed to have the same shape, color, and size of your former tooth. Our tooth-colored dental crowns seamlessly blend in with your other teeth so no one will notice your crown is not your natural tooth! Plus, our dental crowns have the strength to protect your tooth while returning your tooth to its full functionality.
Dental Implants
Dental implants offer a variety of benefits to patients who utilize them to replace their missing teeth. Titanium implants are placed into the jawbone, where they fuse with the bone itself. This helps the implant remain very stable, and it helps the jawbone remain strong and healthy as well. An implant crown is then custom-made and attached to the top of the implant. Patients should have enough healthy jawbone tissue and be in general good health before they can be placed. Dental implants do not require any special care once the healing process is complete, and they do not come with any food restrictions, so patients can eat, speak, and smile with confidence!
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is designed to close the gap left by one or more missing teeth, restoring both function and appearance. This “bridge” is anchored to your natural teeth or implants on either side of the gap, known as abutments. These abutments support the replacement tooth, called a pontic, which is securely attached to crowns covering the abutments. Dental bridges are a great way to restore your smile to help maintain your face shape and prevent your remaining teeth from drifting out of position. They also prevent bone loss and will redistribute the force of your bite to prevent uneven tooth wear.
Smile Beautifully with Dental Veneers
Are you unhappy with the teeth you were born with? Dental veneers are a popular option for people who have one or more teeth that are damaged by stains, chips, cracks, or that are otherwise misaligned or irregularly shaped. Dental veneers can be used to fix a number of cosmetic issues; they can even close unsightly gaps between teeth or replace a single discolored tooth! With dental veneers, you can replace a single tooth or do a full mouth restoration. Talk to Dr. Ward about how we can create a dazzling celebrity smile for you!
Your Low-Cost Dentures Dentist
Do you want to get new dentures or replace your old ones? Dr. Ward will gently examine your mouth and create a new set of dentures for you that match your old teeth. She takes her time to match the new dentures to fit your mouth comfortably. Full dentures are used to replace an entire arch, and partial dentures can replace several missing teeth. Dr. Ward will go over dentures maintenance during your appointment as well so you know how to care for your dentures and make them last for several years.
