Crowns and Bridges

A dental crown, or sometimes it is called a "cap" is used to restore a cracked tooth, a very weak tooth or a broken tooth that can no longer be filled with predictable success.  Crowns are made from many different materials including gold, a combination of gold and porcelain or semiprecious metal and porcelain.  There are also several types made from all ceramic or porcelain.  Should a crown be recommended for treatment of a tooth, Dr. Green will discuss the advantages of each so that the best type of crown can be chosen to suit the patient’s individual needs.

A bridge is used to replace a missing tooth or multiple teeth.  It consists of several crowns hooked together to replace the area of tooth loss.  Bridges are made of the same materials as crowns.  Dr. Green will explain at great length the process and necessity for crowns and bridges.

Emergency Treatment

We  consider it very important to take care of emergency needs as soon as possible and we will make every effort to treat emergencies that same day.
Some common dental emergencies are:
  • toothaches
  • broken dentures
  • sores under dentures
  • chipped tooth
  • loose or broken fillings
  • swollen or infected gums
  • wisdom tooth pain
  • loose or lost crowns
  • orthodontic problems
  • accidental injuries to the mouth and teeth
We always save time in our schedule each day for treatment of these types of emergencies.

TMJ

Tempromandibular joint disease is a condition which can seriously affect the quality of life of those who are
afflicted.  Symptoms include:
1.  Frequent headaches.
2.  Unexplained head and neck pain.
3.  Noise in the joint such as a click or pop upon opening or closing.
4.  Inability to open the mouth very wide. 
5.  Inability to chew comfortably.

The causes of TMJ can include:
1.  Accident and injuries.
2.  Genetic factors that determine how the teeth line up in the mouth in relation to the jaw joint.
3.  Tooth loss and or wear resulting in bite changes.
4.  Some dental restorations.

Dr. Green has taken extensive training to diagnose and treat tempromandibular joint disorders. Treatment can
include bite guards, night guards. equilibration of the teeth so that they can be in harmony with the jaw joints, restoration of the teeth to achieve harmony, and even, sometimes, orthodontics.
