Dental implants are titanium posts or screws that replace a patient's natural teeth roots and serve as a foundation for a variety of dental prostheses.
Dental crowns restore a patient's teeth after they have been severely damaged by trauma or decay. Crowns are tooth-colored caps that envelop natural teeth, protecting them and restoring their function. Crowns can also be supported by dental implants, which provide an exceptional level of security. As a cosmetic treatment, crowns may be recommended to improve the shape of a small or worn tooth.
Dental bridges literally bridge the gap left by missing teeth. Made from durable, tooth-colored materials, bridges can replace one to several teeth in a row to create a seamless smile.
A filling is used to protect your tooth after it has been damaged by a cavity. Before he places a filling, Dr. Vasireddy will remove all of the decay from your tooth, and treat it using a tooth-colored composite material. Dr. Vasireddy places only tooth-colored fillings, and can remove your old amalgam, or metal, fillings for a material that blends naturally with your teeth. A filling can restore the look and function of your tooth, saving it from a more serious restorative treatment like a dental crown.
