Dental crowns are effective and simple solutions for many problems with teeth that are weak or damaged. At Parkwood Dental in Bradenton, FL, we can assess your dental health needs and determine whether or not a crown is appropriate for your situation. A crown can protect your teeth from further injury or and relieve any pain you may be having when chewing or brushing your teeth. Call us today for a consultation.

Are Dental Crowns Permanent? 

What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a prosthetic device that looks like a natural tooth. Crowns are often made of porcelain and are meant to be a permanent part of your smile. Each crown is created and shaped specifically for the damaged tooth it will protect. It fits completely over the tooth, replacing the tooth area referred to as the crown and restoring the original shape of the natural tooth.

Crowns sometimes extend down to the roots of the tooth, but they always protect the parts of the tooth that extend up over the gumline.

What Situations Require Dental Crowns? 

Dental professionals might recommend a crown for a variety of different reasons. All of the situations that suggest a crown are due to damage to your natural teeth.

Cover a Large Filling

Sometimes a filling is so large that there is not enough actual tooth remaining to properly protect it. In this case, a crown can protect the filling and the tooth.

Cover a Discolored Tooth

If your tooth is discolored due to an injury or for some other reason, a crown can give you the confidence of knowing that you are showing the world a bright, white smile.

Protect a Weak Tooth

Sometimes dental work or an injury can cause a tooth to become so weak that it is vulnerable to cracking or breaking. A crown will shield the tooth from any further damage.

Relieve Pain

If your tooth is damaged, you may be experiencing pain that can keep you from sleeping properly or interfere with your life in other ways. Placing a crown over the injured tooth may help relieve your pain.

Cover a Root Canal

When a tooth requires a root canal, it can be at risk for additional problems. A crown is often used to cover the tooth that received treatment to be sure that it is protected.

Fix a Cracked Tooth

A cracked tooth may cause irritation or even pain. It might also be something you’d like to change about your smile. A crown will fit over the cracked tooth so the crack can no longer be seen and isn’t open to damage or irritants.

Secure a Bridge

A dental bridge is used as an anchor to keep teeth from shifting when another tooth is removed. Dental crowns can be put in place to fill in the spaces between the bridge and help hold the bridge in place and keep it attached to the rest of your mouth.

How Are Dental Crowns Created? 

Creating a crown is done by making a mold of your tooth. First, we put anesthesia on the area to numb the tooth and gums. Then we create room for the crown if necessary by gently shaving down the sides of the tooth. Then we make an impression of the tooth with putty or a digital scanner. A lab will create the crown specifically to fit your tooth.

How Are Dental Crowns Put In?

The process used in putting in a crown is simple and easy. When your crown is ready, we will bring you in for a second appointment. In the meantime, you may have had a temporary crown protecting your damaged tooth. We will remove this temporary crown and then check the fit of your permanent crown. When the crown fits correctly, we use a special cement to permanently set it in place.

Who Is a Candidate for a Dental Crown? 

At Parkwood Dental, we will fully assess your dental situation with an examination and digital x-rays that will let us know what is happening in and around your teeth. We will talk to you about what you are experiencing and what your goals are for your dental health. With that information, we can suggest the best course of action.

You may be having pain because of a damaged tooth, or you may be uncomfortable with the way your cracked or damaged tooth looks. A crown may be the perfect solution to your problem. We can let you know for sure if you are a candidate.

How Can I Help Keep My Crown Strong? 

Just as with your natural teeth, good dental hygiene can help your crown last indefinitely. Crowns are meant to be permanent, so your crown should remain strong for the rest of your life as long as you care for it properly and barring any accidents. A healthy schedule of bruising, flossing, and dental care is all you need for the life of your crown. We can answer any questions you have about your dental health routine.

If you are experiencing pain from a damaged tooth, or if you are insecure about your smile due to discolored or cracked teeth, a crown could be the right solution for you. Come to Parkwood Dental in Bradenton, FL, where we can determine whether or not a crown will be an effective treatment for any dental issues you are experiencing. Let us help you smile with confidence again.

If you’ve found yourself struggling with symptoms of gingivitis, you know the experience is painful and disheartening, and the prospect of gingivitis developing into a full-fledged gum disease is even worse. Luckily, with proper treatment and aftercare, it’s easy to rid your mouth of the bacteria causing your discomfort and free yourself of gingivitis entirely. Utilizing the latest technology for optimal patient care, Dr. Oscar Hernandez at Parkwood Dental in Bradenton, FL specializes in gingivitis treatment and the treatment of gum disease.

Do Gingivitis Treatments Really Work? 

Gingivitis causes discomfort and pain and when left untreated progresses into Gum Disease. As the bacterial infection in the gums breaks down the connective tissue in the jaw, this leads to teeth shifting, loose teeth, and ultimately tooth loss. Despite this, gingivitis is not a permanent condition. With proper treatment, it’s possible to restore health and comfort to your mouth. Here at Parkwood Dental, we offer a variety of surgical and nonsurgical gingivitis treatment options.

Gingivitis Treatment Options

After a comprehensive examination during your consultation with Dr. Hernandez, you will be presented with a personalized treatment plan to ensure that you receive the best possible care on your return journey to a sparkling smile. But what could that journey look like? If you’re looking for more information on gingivitis treatment, here’s a brief overview of what to expect from your experience at Parkwood Dental.

Consultation

Gingivitis is diagnosed during a periodontal examination performed by Dr. Hernandez or one of our highly-skilled dental hygienists. Periodontal means “around the teeth.” This type of exam is part of your routine dental check-up to catch any signs of gingivitis early.

During diagnosis, a small dental tool called a periodontal probe is gently used to measure the pockets between the teeth and the gums. The periodontal probe will indicate if these pockets are a healthy size or larger than normal. As gum disease progresses, these pockets tend to get deeper.

Using pocket depths, inflammation, any signs of bleeding, and tooth mobility, Dr. Hernandez can make an accurate diagnosis and recommend any of the following treatments.

Professional Cleaning

One option for a nonsurgical gingivitis treatment is thorough dental cleaning. If the gingivitis is detected during the early stages, some routine cleanings could be enough to reverse the progression of gingivitis.

Treatment

Gingivitis progresses when the pockets by the teeth begin to harbor bacteria, plaque, and tartar, which cause irritation to the surrounding gum tissue. During the early stages of gingivitis, it’s possible to remove these irritants in order to reverse any damage done by the disease. After one or two cleanings, your gums and teeth can be as bright and healthy as ever.

Aftercare

After having your teeth cleaned by a dentist or dental hygienist, it’s important to continue to practice good dental hygiene in order to keep the pockets in your gums free from irritants as your mouth continues to heal. Before you leave the office, you will be given detailed instructions for your daily dental hygiene and scheduled for any further dental cleanings you might require to treat your gingivitis.

Planing and Scaling

If the gingivitis has progressed, a special deep-cleaning technique called planing and scaling is another nonsurgical treatment that may be recommended.

Treatment

This treatment removes plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line while the mouth is numb and smooths rough surfaces on the roots of the teeth. It is usually performed on different quadrants of the mouth. Two appointments may be necessary—one to clean the upper and lower quadrants of one side of the mouth, and another for the opposite side.

Before beginning the treatment, the mouth is numbed using local anesthesia. After a few minutes, the quadrant will be numb, and the treatment can begin with scaling. Scaling refers to the process of removing plaque and calculus from the gums around the teeth, below the gums, and the base of the teeth. This can be done with a manual instrument or with an ultrasonic instrument.
 
Planing is the next step, which is the smoothing and cleaning of the teeth’s roots. By removing any rough surfaces on the roots of the teeth, there are fewer places for harmful bacteria to hide under the gums. Smoothing the roots of the teeth also helps the gums reattach more easily and aids in the healing process.

Aftercare

After the procedure, the mouth is rinsed thoroughly to remove any outstanding bacteria. Then pressure is applied to the gum tissue to prevent pockets as the gums return to their proper depth. Special gingivitis mouthwash, electric toothbrushes, or medications might be distributed or recommended after this treatment to ensure that the pockets heal quickly and without harboring any more harmful bacteria.

Surgical Treatments

If it’s determined that your gingivitis has developed to the point where you may need more extensive treatment, Dr. Hernandez will work with you to determine what’s the best approach for your unique circumstance. Employing the latest technology and techniques, a treatment strategy will be developed that considers your health and comfort above all else.

Now That You’ve Reversed Your Gingivitis 

With regular dental care, good oral hygiene, and personalized gingivitis treatments, your breath will freshen, your gums will return to a healthy pink, and you’ll be ready to face the world again with your brightest smile, having reversed your gingivitis.

When you’re ready for your best smile, contact us at Parkwood Dental to schedule a consultation at one of our offices in East or West Bradenton, Florida.

Unpredicted and unexpected, dental emergencies can significantly impact anyone. A chipped, cracked, or rotten tooth can cause pain, confusion, and anxiety. Objects stuck in the mouth can cause panic. Even a seemingly minor emergency, such as a toothache, can cause discomfort and annoyance. Though such emergencies are widespread and common, many people are at a loss about what to do when they arise. At Parkwood Dental in Bradenton, Florida, our expert dental staff and emergency dentists are here to help you successfully get through stressful oral emergencies.

What to Do in Case of a Dental Emergency

Many circumstances classify as dental emergencies and may require an emergency visit to the dentist. Knocked out and cracked permanent teeth, excessive oral bleeding, toothaches, and objects stuck in the mouth all fall under the category of a dental emergency.

What to do in the case of emergencies such as these depends on the specific emergency itself. It’s important to react accordingly when such events take place. An individual’s immediate response plays a significant role in the amount of overall damage to the mouth, and knowing how to respond by properly identifying the type and gravity of the oral emergency is also key to preserving your overall oral health.

Knocked-Out or Cracked Permanent Teeth

In the event of a knocked-out tooth, delicate handling and moisture are key. Try to re-insert the tooth into the socket without touching the root. If that isn’t possible, attempt to keep the tooth moist by keeping it in your mouth between your cheek and gums, in a glass of salt water, or in a glass of milk. Do not use tap water to preserve moisture as this can lead to deterioration of the tooth enamel. Immediately transport the tooth to an emergency dentist for professional treatment.

When dealing with a cracked permanent tooth, make sure to immediately clean the area by rinsing the mouth with warm water. If there is oral swelling as well, use a cold compress to help lessen the pain and ameliorate the situation. Then make sure to go to the dentist right away for medical help.

Excessive Oral Bleeding

In the event of an oral emergency, trauma to the mouth can cause excessive bleeding. The bleeding may come from or near a damaged or missing tooth. Apply a moistened cold compress to the area to ease bleeding while on the way to the emergency dentist.

Toothaches

Toothaches may seem to be minor emergencies or may seem to not even be emergencies at all. However, a toothache is often an indication of a more important oral problem. Toothaches also often cause mild to severe pain that interferes with day-to-day activities. Toothaches are thus classified as dental emergencies that require prompt attention.

In the event of a toothache, clean out the mouth by rinsing with warm water. Use dental floss to gently remove any food stuck between teeth. It is advised to see a dentist to medically address the symptoms and causes of a toothache. Do not put aspirin on aching teeth or gums.

Objects Stuck in the Mouth

If an object gets lodged or stuck in the mouth, attempt to remove it gently with floss. Do not use sharp or pointed objects such as knives, tweezers, or needles. If you cannot dislodge the object with floss, make an emergency dental visit to get professional help.

What to Expect When Seeing an Emergency Dentist 

After taking the necessary immediate actions in the event of a dental emergency, it’s vital to go to the dentist right away. Dentists and dental staff are the only qualified people who can accurately and adequately provide oral treatment during an emergency.

During an emergency appointment at the dentist, you can expect that the damaged or affected area will first be examined. The dental staff may also follow up with an x-ray in order to determine the appropriate treatment for your dental needs. Dental staff are equipped and qualified to help restore your oral health.

Avoiding Oral Injury

Taking simple precautions can go a long way in helping an individual avoid oral injuries and emergencies. Wear a mouthguard to protect teeth and gums, especially when engaging in activities that could endanger your teeth and gums, such as when playing contact sports.

Avoid chewing hard food that can crack teeth. Chewing food such as ice, popcorn kernels, pistachio shells, and hard candy can crack or damage permanent teeth. Always remember to use scissors, razors, or knives to cut objects, vegetables, and fruit. Never use your teeth!

Recognize the Importance of Your Oral Health

Do not underestimate the importance and significance of an oral emergency. When a tooth or teeth are knocked out, cracked, or aching, it is important to see a dental professional right away. If an object is stuck in your mouth or you’re experiencing excessive bleeding, this also classifies as a dental emergency needing specific and prompt medical attention.

Parkwood Dental in Bradenton, Florida recognizes and values the importance of your oral health. In the event of dental emergencies, our offices are here and open to help you. Don’t get caught by surprise during an oral emergency! If you experience such an emergency, make sure to immediately take the appropriate steps to mitigate any negative impacts. After responding accordingly, call Parkwood Dental in Bradenton, FL to schedule an emergency dental appointment right away.

Few things in life can be as distressing as not having confidence in your smile after losing a few teeth. It can affect every aspect of your life, from the way that you feel to the food that you eat. Without question, having missing teeth can be a very harrowing experience, but thankfully it doesn’t have to be a permanent situation. Schedule an appointment with the experts at Parkwood Dental in Bradenton, FL for an initial consultation, and let us guide you on the path towards a fully healthy smile.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are permanent fixtures that are placed inside your mouth in place of lost tooth roots. The implant is placed in the socket of your missing tooth, allowing the jaw to heal around it over the course of time and locking it into place.

There are numerous reasons to consider having a dental crown placed when you have a missing tooth. It can restore your smile, help with eating and chewing food, and help stabilize a weak or cracked tooth. There are several different types of dental crowns available at offices such as Parkwood Dental in Bradenton, Florida.

What Is a Dental Crown?

A crown, sometimes called a cap, is a small prosthesis that fits over your existing tooth or a dental implant. They can be made from several types of materials. No matter what type of dental crown you choose, they are all designed to protect compromised teeth or replace missing ones.

Crowns must be attached to a post, tooth, or bridge to stay in position. Many people will choose to have them glued directly onto a filed portion of an existing tooth or the abutment for a previously placed dental implant.

However, they can also be incorporated into a bridge or flipper device that can be removed for eating or cleaning. A bridge can be an affordable solution and may be your only option if there is no other way to structurally secure the crown. Some people might consider veneers as a type of crown, but they generally do not cover the entire tooth. These can be an excellent choice for cosmetic repairs or to cover small cracks.

What Types of Dental Crowns Are Available?

Like other types of prostheses, dental crowns are not a one-size-fits-all item. Dental offices will often have several types of dental crowns to choose from. While most dental crowns are permanent or long-term solutions, some of them are only temporary. These are often used as a short-term solution while you are waiting for a permanent crown to be manufactured. They are attached with an adhesive that can be easily removed so you can switch to the permanent crown once it is ready.

They can also be made of a variety of materials. Which one is right for your situation will depend on the size and location of your missing tooth, your dental habits, and your budget. Know your options so you can discuss them with your dentist.

Porcelain

This is the most common type of crown used at Parkwood Dental. It is made from a high-quality porcelain material that can be custom matched to your other teeth. The result is a completely natural appearance. Porcelain crowns are as durable as they are attractive, and their all-porcelain construction means they are highly biocompatible.

Metal

Some crowns, particularly those on back teeth, are made from metal: often gold. These types of dental crowns are very durable and can be a suitable choice for people who grind their teeth. However, their obvious appearance makes many people shy away from using them.

Porcelain Fused to Metal (PFM)

Some crowns are made with a layer of porcelain fused to a metal base. These PFM crowns are generally more affordable than all-porcelain models and provide a more natural appearance than all-metal models. However, the metal base may become visible over time, so they are best suited to back teeth such as molars.

Do you want straighter teeth but don’t want to spend 18 months or more wearing braces? Braces can give your teeth proper alignment, but it can be a great commitment of time, especially when you are an adult. Fastbraces are a new orthodontic technology that can provide a drastically reduced treatment time with less discomfort.

What Are Fastbraces?

Fastbraces are a revolutionary new orthodontic technology that can provide straighter teeth only days after they are placed and can fix a variety of issues in only 100 days. The reduction in treatment time comes from turning the slow, two-step process of traditional braces into a single-step process. In a single day of treatment, these braces perform the root alignment that might take traditional braces a year to complete.

How Do They Work?

Fastbraces work by removing an entire year of treatment time. With traditional braces, the first year is spent pulling the teeth into position, and the second year is spent moving the roots into the proper position. Fastbraces addresses the issue by straightening the roots in a single day. Straightening the roots allows the alveolar bone to grow, which straightens teeth much faster than normal braces.

We also use only one wire throughout the treatment process. The growth of the alveolar bone can help you avoid unnecessary tooth extractions and orthodontic surgery. Alveolar bone growth can also speed up the fight against gingivitis caused by crooked teeth. The orthodontics can even be more comfortable than traditional braces.

What Conditions Can Be Addressed?

This treatment can address misaligned teeth faster than traditional braces and be used to make dental work easier for hygienists and dentists. Progress begins to show from day one, as the alveolar bone grows and teeth are moved into place. The following alignment issues can be treated with these orthodontics:

• Crowding
• Crooked teeth
• Malocclusions
• Overbites
• Underbites
• Crossbites
• Spacing
• Open bites

Who Is an Ideal Candidate?

Any patient looking to fix their teeth with traditional braces will probably benefit from the faster treatment time. Orthodontic patients of all ages can enjoy these new braces offered in adult and child sizes. Less time wearing braces means you don’t need to follow strict care instructions for as long and can enjoy less time on a restricted diet.

Most patients do not like the appearance of braces, and since the treatment time is reduced, this means patients will need to spend less time wearing braces. This can be helpful for adults and teens that can feel negative social pressure when wearing braces. The wire can even be made to match your tooth color, so the braces are less noticeable. Patients also enjoy minimal need for a retainer and a comfortable treatment with less pain.

Ready to Straighten Your Teeth?

If you think these new braces may be right for you and want straighter teeth in less time, visit Parkwood Dental in Bradenton, FL for an initial consultation. We can straighten your teeth with this safe and comfortable orthodontic technology.

Root canals are an effective way to remove a damaged nerve while still saving the tooth. At Parkwood Dental in Bradenton, FL, we receive a lot of questions about root canals, such as how much does a root canal cost? We’ll answer this and provide additional information to some commonly asked questions about root canals.

How Much Does it Cost for a root canal?

If you’ve been told that you need a root canal, this may be one of the first questions you think of, and the answer, of course, depends upon the tooth in question.

Following are some general estimates on the average price of root canal therapy:

• Front tooth: From $762 to $929
• Bicuspid: From $879 to $1,054
• Molar: From $1,111 to $1,300

Obviously, root canal price can be expensive, but going without one when you need it can create an additional risk to the tooth that will involve more extensive treatment later if not corrected now.

Why a Root Canal

Sometimes, decay penetrates the tooth so deeply that it affects and damages the nerve. It’s then necessary to remove the nerve while, at the same time, saving the tooth.

Saving the Tooth

Any time you have a missing tooth, it can cause your bite to be misaligned. As a result, it becomes more difficult to care for your teeth and you’re more prone to conditions such as gum disease.

If you hesitate when you wonder how much does a root canal cost, just remember that root canals save teeth and can help safeguard your oral health, which can save you many thousands in remedial dental work in years to come.

How It Works

During this procedure, the infected pulp inside your tooth is removed. The tooth is then cleaned and sterilized. Afterward, it’s filled with a rubber-like material and a crown is placed on it to provide additional protection and support.

The crown is sometimes an additional cost, so that is something to consider when you are asking how much does a root canal cost.

Dental Anatomy

To really understand the importance of a root canal, it’s good to get an overview of how your teeth are constructed. The enamel is the part of the tooth that you can see. While it has hard enamel on the outside, on the inside, it has a soft layer of pulp in addition to roots and nerves. When these become irritated or infected, it causes pain and discomfort.

Does a Root Canal Hurt?

Root canals have a bad reputation that they don’t deserve. You are numb during the procedure and everything is done to make you as comfortable as possible.

Most people say that getting a root canal is, in many ways, similar to having a cavity filled. In fact, often a root canal alleviates the pain that the infection was causing. This is something to keep in mind when you are asking yourself how much does a root canal cost.
