Tooth Pain Cracked Tooth, Root Canal Ceramic Dental Crown.

Tooth Pain Cracked Tooth, Root Canal Ceramic Dental Crown.

A cracked tooth is one of the most common forms of tooth pain toothache. As shown in the broken tooth model to the left, it is often caused by silver amalgam fillings in the teeth and the sharp edge that used to lock the filling into place. This edge is weakened, and it results in a cracked tooth. If the tooth cracks above the gun, it can be repaired with a ceramic dental crown. Otherwise, it might need a root canal treatment. When a dental crown is cemented onto the broken tooth to hold the pieces together, it behaves like a crash helmet and gives it strength.

Dental Implants for best results require good socket preservation

Dental Implants For Best Results Require Good Socket Preservation, Quality Materials & Time Is Of The Essence.

The moment that the tooth comes out, the bone starts shrinking away and shrinks downwards and in thickness as well, and you end up with a really much thinner jaw bone until overtime over the patient person's life, you can end up back just with skeletal jaw bone right now. In the first you patients lose up to 56% of the bone that was around their tooth when the tooth is extracted. Timing for dental implant placement is quite critical. So if we place a dental implant, we like to get in there after the first few months to allow the healing. Some practitioners are placing them straightaway into the extraction site. I've got a lovely little model that will show you what the implants are like. We place an implant if there is available bone, and we choose an implant depending on the thickness of the bone. So when there's thin bone, we use the implants stick by, and we use thick implants. And I tend to use implants that are called Southern implants as the brand of them I use amongst others.

Root Canal Treatment to preserve a broken or cracked tooth in preparation for a ceramic dental crown.

Root Canal Treatment To Preserve A Broken Or Cracked Tooth In Preparation For A Ceramic Dental Crown.

If you have ever suffered severe tooth pain you might know what a Root Canal Treatment is. Its usually to preserve a decayed, broken or cracked tooth in preparation for a ceramic dental crown.
The process requires drilling down the tooth and removing the nerve and filling the tooth right down to the root to prevent any new infection or decay from below. 

In the event a root canal fails or does get infected then it may be necessary to perform and apicoectomy, but usually this is rare and many years later.
