Dental Implants

Implants are an alternative to dentures and bridges for missing teeth. They also prevent bone loss and deterioration in the surrounding teeth.

The procedure requires a variable amount of time for healing and osseointegration. After that, the dentista en Kissimmee will put an abutment and crown onto the implant.

Dental implants can last for a long time when they are cared for properly. This includes brushing and flossing them regularly. It is also important to schedule regular visits with your dental provider.

Teeth Whitening

The most popular cosmetic dental procedure, teeth whitening removes stains from the teeth to make them appear whiter. The procedure is safe and effective for most patients, but should be done under a dentista en Kissimmee supervision.

The dental professional will put a rubber shield or gel on your gums to protect them before applying the bleaching product, which contains hydrogen peroxide. It is important to follow the instructions carefully, as overuse can lead to sensitive teeth and gum irritation.

Dental Veneers

Veneers are wafer-thin porcelain shells that cover the front of a tooth. They can improve the appearance of teeth that are discolored, chipped, misshapen, or have gaps.

Dentists can apply veneers to a single tooth or several teeth at once. They may use local anesthetic to numb the area before they start working.

They will need to remove a small amount of enamel from the tooth before applying the veneers. The dentist will then check the color and fit of the veneers before they cement them in place.

Root Canals

A root canal is a tooth-saving treatment for infected or damaged teeth. The procedure removes the inflamed or dead dental pulp tissue and disinfects the tooth’s chamber and canals before sealing them with an inert, biocompatible material.

A root canal is necessary when a tooth’s soft tissue is infected, often due to tooth decay or injuries that crack or chip the tooth. Untreated, a cracked or infected tooth can cause severe pain and swelling in the gums.

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are protective covers that fit over damaged or missing teeth. They are a cosmetic treatment that registers high on utility and aesthetics. They also prevent the adjacent teeth from shifting into the gap caused by a missing tooth, which can lead to malocclusion and jaw problems.

The dentista en Kissimmee prepares the tooth by removing a small portion of its outer surface, then takes a mold for the crown. The resulting crown is then made at the dental office using the CEREC machine.

Dental Bridges

Dental bridges are an excellent solution for missing teeth. A bridge fills the gap in the mouth and increases ease of eating and speaking. It also prevents bone loss and distortions in the face and jaw structure caused by a missing tooth.

A traditional bridge is a false tooth that’s held in place by the healthy teeth on either side of the gap, called anchor teeth or abutment teeth. A bridge has wings on either side that are bonded to the back surfaces of the abutment teeth with dental cement.

Dental Fillings

Dental fillings, also called dental restorations, are a common procedure used to restore the integrity, morphology and function of teeth damaged by decay or other damage. They are of two broad types: direct and indirect.

Unlike silver (amalgam) fillings, which involved drilling healthy tooth structure, composite and porcelain fillings are bonded to the surface of your teeth and become part of it. This makes them strong enough to withstand chewing pressure.

Dental Cleanings

Cleanings are a key part of preventive dental care, and help patients maintain a healthy smile. It is recommended that adults get a professional cleaning twice a year. Typically, your insurance provider will cover routine cleanings. However, it is important to know the specifics of your plan.

Veneers in Kissimmee are a practical solution for covering up discolored or chipped teeth. They are thin shells that are bonded to the front of your teeth.

Emergency Dentistry

Dental emergencies are not always avoidable, but there are some things that you can do to prevent them from happening. For example, you can schedule a visit to an emergency dentist if you have a toothache or bleeding gums.

Some people are unsure whether or not their situation qualifies as a dental emergency. However, the main criteria is that it requires immediate attention. This includes uncontrolled mouth bleeding, severe pain and an oral abscess.
