CrownDoc Procedures and Treatments
With our close relationship with next-door neighbors Clinical
Research Associates, Archibald & Associates and Riverside Dental
Arts, we are able to provide the full spectrum of prosthodontic
procedures.
These include:
Crowns and Bridgework
The complete covering of a tooth or teeth to protect from further
breakdown and to restore full form and function. Crowns and bridges
can be made of metal, ceramic, resin or a combination thereof. Crowns or bridgework strengthens
and beautifies in a single procedure.
Veneers
Partial covering of a tooth to restore aesthetics and/or function.
Veneers can be often referred to as "two week orthodontics" because
a variety of orthodontic problems are solved without the need for
braces. Veneers are considered to be the optimal aesthetic restoration.
Dental Implants
Implants are titanium tooth roots used to restore single or multiple
teeth areas of missing teeth. Implants can be used as anchors for
crowns, bridges
or dentures. Implants are great for the replacement of teeth when
you don't want to wear full or partial dentures. It's also a much
more conservative restoration than conventional bridgework that
requires reduction of healthy tooth structure.
Dentures or Partial Dentures
The main advantage of dentures is cost. Where one is missing multiple
teeth or has several areas of compromised teeth, and desires to
restore the missing tooth areas (dentition), dentures offer the
least time consuming and
most cost effective solution.
Esthetic Dentistry
Esthetic dentistry often includes a combination of the above procedures,
including white fillings and teeth bleaching. Esthetic dentistry
can also include periodontal (gums), orthodontics (braces), or
oral surgery (reshaping of gums and/or bone).
Other Prostheses
Some example of these include surgical guides, transitional healing
prostheses, cleft palate prostheses, and skull plates.
Alternative Needs
We offer a variety of options for those with concerns or sensitivities
regarding "traditional" dental approaches and materials.
Please ask for further information according to your specific
needs.
Colleagues
Should your situation require specialists outside of the field
of prosthodontics, we can assist in arranging consults with expert
colleagues in the following areas:
- periodontics
- endodontics
- orthodontics
- pedodontics
- oral surgery
We have established long-standing results and trust, which will
assist us in providing you the high-caliber dentistry you expect
and deserve.
