A dental crown is a tooth-shaped 'cap' that is placed over a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. They are often used to protect a weak tooth, hold parts of a cracked tooth together, or cover a tooth after a root canal. Crowns can be made from various materials like porcelain, metal, or a combination.
A root canal is a common procedure used to save a tooth that is badly decayed or infected. During the treatment, the infected pulp is removed, and the inside of the tooth is carefully cleaned and sealed. With modern anesthetics and techniques, a root canal is no more uncomfortable than getting a routine filling. It's an effective way to relieve pain and prevent the tooth from being lost.
Invisalign® is a popular alternative to traditional braces that uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners to gradually shift your teeth into the correct position. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks before moving on to the next one in the series. Invisalign is removable, making it easy to eat, brush, and floss.
