When does a tooth need a filling instead of a crown?
A filling can repair a smaller area of decay or damage when enough healthy tooth remains. A crown may be recommended when a tooth is extensively weakened, cracked, or needs broader protection.
How do complete and partial dentures differ?
Complete dentures replace all teeth in an upper or lower arch. Partial dentures replace selected missing teeth and fit around the natural teeth that remain.
How long do fillings, crowns, bridges, and dentures last?
There is no single lifespan for a restoration. Material, bite forces, hygiene, diet, tooth grinding, and regular maintenance all influence durability. Routine exams allow the dentist to monitor wear and fit.
What is the difference between a crown and a bridge?
A crown covers one tooth to restore its strength and shape. A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth with an attached restoration supported by neighboring teeth or implants.
Why might my denture need a reline?
The gums and supporting bone can change over time, which may make a denture feel loose. A reline reshapes the surface that rests against the tissues to improve the fit when the denture itself is still serviceable.
What symptoms can be related to a TMJ disorder?
Jaw-joint problems may involve pain near the ear or jaw, headaches, muscle soreness, limited opening, or clicking and popping. Because these symptoms can have several causes, an evaluation is important before treatment is recommended.
