Commonly called laughing gas, this soothing gas is inhaled through a comfortable breathing mask before and during your dental treatments. Youll feel warm, safe, and free from anxiety and worry. The effects of nitrous oxide diminish rapidly following removal of the mask, so you can get back to your routine immediately.
Dental crowns (also known as caps) are designed to fit over individual teeth in a snug fashion, covering their existing structure with a lifelike replacement that renews and protects whats underneath. The placement of crowns will also help maintain the harmony of your bite and the jaws natural alignment.
There are several materials available for dental crowns; our recommendation for your unique case will depend on the location of the treated tooth, your personal preferences, and the scope of your budget. In most cases, we ask you to strongly consider all-ceramic crowns, which look and feel natural and will blend right in with the rest of your smile.
We will typically use dental crowns to restore decayed or damaged teeth, but they can also be used to cover implants and protect teeth after root canals. Additionally, we can use dental crowns to correct flaws like misshapen or permanently discolored teeth. The only way to know with certainty is to visit our office. Dr. Dandois will examine your mouth to decide if a dental crown is the right restoration for you.
We will typically recommend dental bridges for patients who are missing multiple teeth consecutively. These can be supported by either dental crowns or dental implants. If youve been struggling with the lack of function and appearance of multiple missing teeth, a dental bridge may be just what you need for a restored smile.
