Restorative Dentist Consultation Bangkok

Dental implants are used to replace missing teeth, support bridges, support dentures, and eliminate the need for removable partial dentures. It is a good option for replacing one, or several teeth if the patient has good overall dental health and bone structure. A dental implant is attached only to the replacement tooth that it holds. This means that there is no need to have any natural tooth structure removed to fit a crown; the dental implant is secure without any support. A dental implant is a permanent replacement that looks and feels like your natural teeth, so there is no extra maintenance, or change in biting habits that are normally associated with partial dentures. Dental implants use material which the human body accepts, such as Titanium which is buried into the jaw bone. There will be a period of 3 – 6 months to allow the “ osseointegration” (fusing) process to take place between the bone and Titanium oxide on the surface of the dental implant. A crown is then place over thedental implant which is buried and affixed in the bone, thus allowing the secure fit for the dentures without affecting the bordering teeth. Benefits: Dental implants are the closest possible replacement to natural teeth. Dental implants remove the need to cut down healthy teeth for a bridge. They can eliminate the pain caused by ill-fitting dentures. Denttal implants help preserve the bone in the jaws.

In dentistry, crown and bridge refer to the restoration of natural teeth that have been damaged, decayed, lost, undergone root canal treatment, or when a permanent teeth color change is desired by the patient, or when tooth restoration is not possible with materials generally used in inlays / onlays (partial tooth restoration), or for veneer. This is because prior to making a crown, some part of the tooth has to be drilled / grinded to the right shape / contour to ensure a proper fit for the crown. If the patient has undergone a root canal treatment, then the dentist must check to see if there is adequate tooth structure left to avoid further loss of that tooth structure. Post and core may be necessary prior to making the crown to ensure added strength and proper fit for the crown if the patient's remaining tooth structureis not quite adequate. Types of materials used to make crowns, depending on the objectives: all-ceramic (porcelain) with no metal, suitable for patients who prefer the attractive natural look as opposedto other types of crown material which cannot match the surface texture and light reflection of ceramic. Full metal Full metal crowns are commonly used in rear teeth as they are durable and suitable for biting food with a better fit than all-ceramic. They wear out naturally, but are not attractive and Porcelain fused to metal.
