Dental Bonding (Fillings):
Tooth-colored composite resin fillings are a conservative option for cosmetic dental improvements. Ideal for correcting minor aesthetic flaws and damage, these fillings are completed in a single visit and require minimal removal of tooth structure.
Is Dental Bonding Right for You?
While composite resin fillings are convenient and cost-effective, porcelain restorations are longer-lasting and maintain their luster over time. At Stringham Dentistry in Edmonton, we offer both in-office CEREC milled restorations and lab-fabricated options. Porcelain restorations typically provide superior durability and aesthetics but come at a higher cost.
When to Choose Porcelain:
Porcelain is ideal for highly visible areas such as the front teeth, molars under high bite stress, and significantly damaged or decayed teeth. Although more expensive and sometimes requiring more tooth removal, porcelain restorations offer exceptional longevity and aesthetic appeal. They resist staining, scratching, and breaking better than composite fillings.
Same-Day Crowns:
We offer same-day crowns using our in-office CEREC technology, providing you with durable and aesthetically pleasing porcelain restorations.
Porcelain Crowns and Veneers:
Porcelain is stronger and more durable than resin, making it ideal for crowns (covering most of a tooth), veneers (covering only the front), and inlays/onlays (partial coverage). These restorations are not only long-lasting but also offer superior aesthetic results.
Is Porcelain Right for You?
Porcelain restorations are perfect for areas requiring high aesthetic standards and durability. While they may be more expensive and sometimes require additional appointments, the investment pays off in terms of longevity and appearance.
Bridging the Gap:
If you’re missing one or more teeth, a dental bridge can restore your smile and improve your bite function. A fixed bridge is bonded to surrounding teeth and cannot be removed except by a dentist.
When to Use a Fixed Bridge:
Ideal for filling gaps of 1-2 missing teeth, fixed bridges provide good bite function and aesthetics. However, they can be harder to clean compared to dental implants, which allow for easier flossing. For multiple missing teeth, removable partial dentures may be a more affordable alternative.
Is a Fixed Bridge Right for You?
A dental bridge is suitable when you need to replace a missing tooth or two and are looking for a non-removable solution. Implants and removable partial dentures are other options to consider based on your specific needs and budget.
