Orthodontics Braces:

Orthodontics Miranda treatment offers the correction of a bad bite, or a “malocclusion.” Crowding, irregularly spaced teeth, and generalized unaesthetic positioning of teeth can be corrected through the use of conventional braces which bring the teeth into proper alignment. Proper positioning of the teeth contributes to an overall improvement in oral health and improved esthetics.

Invisalign (Star aligns) :

Orthodontics Miranda  movement of teeth through conventional braces is often an undesirable option to many patients, especially adults. Invisalign technology uses translucent trays called “aligners” that gradually move the teeth into proper alignment, while not compromising patient esthetics throughout the treatment.

Benefits of invisible aligners

Invisible : aligners are made of clear, medical grade resin that is almost completely invisible when worn. Friends, family members, and coworkers may never even know you are wearing braces.

Comfortable :

aligners are made from plastic that is smooth and rounded along the edges so they don’t irritate your mouth and gums like traditional braces can.

Customized :

aligners are specifically made to fit your mouth. Orthodontics Miranda use advanced 3D computer imaging technology to take an impression of your teeth and customize each aligner so that it fits your mouth and adjusts your teeth over time.

Removable :

Unlike traditional braces, you can remove your aligners to eat, drink, brush your teeth, floss, and for special occasions. There’s no need to change your lifestyle!

Effective :

You will notice a significant difference even before your treatment is complete. Most aligners treatments are only 9 to 15 months, though this can vary from patient to patient.

Crowns And Bridges

Crowns And Bridges - Miranda Dental Centre - Kingsway

CROWNS:

Crowns are prosthetic devices cemented onto existing teeth, essentially acting like a “cap” and are used to cover a badly damaged or decayed tooth. The purpose of a dental crown is to protect fragile tooth from fracture and give extra strength to the remaining tooth structure. Fractures, chipping and cracks frequently happen to teeth with large existing restorations, or teeth that under excessive load as in sleep grinders and people who clench a lot. It can also improve the physical appearance of discoloured teeth. Dental crown also provides perfect match to natural tooth colour and shape. At our practice, we do different types of crowns.

Crown is advised in following cases:

Replace a large filling when there isn’t enough tooth remaining

Protect a weak tooth from fracturing

Restore a fractured tooth

Attach a bridge

Cover a dental implant

Cover a discoloured or poorly shaped tooth

Cover a tooth that has had root canal treatment

The procedure of getting a crown requires a detailed impression of the tooth (or gum if the tooth is missing). The impression is then taken and will replicate the tooth, allowing a true duplicate of a tooth to be produced, from the minor details including the colour and shape. Finally, upon completion of the crown, it is fitted and permanently bonded to the tooth/teeth.

If you are suffering from tooth loss or damage, contact us today.

Bridges

A bridge may be recommended if a person is missing one or more teeth. Gaps left by missing teeth eventually cause the remaining teeth to rotate or shift into the empty spaces, resulting in a bad bite, also food impaction. The imbalance caused by missing teeth can also lead to gum disease and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.

Bridges are tooth-coloured prosthetic device which can be fixed or removable which is anchored to neighbouring teeth for support and replaces missing tooth/teeth. Dental bridges look and function like normal teeth and can be hard to distinguish from natural teeth. Bridges may also help reduce risk of gum disease and help correct biting issues.

Depending on the position of a missing tooth and surrounding teeth, there are various bridges available to choose from. A fixed bridge is when they are cemented to the natural teeth or implants surrounding the empty space. Fixed bridges are fixed and cannot be taken out of your mouth. The bridge is fused between two porcelain crowns to fill in the missing tooth area or teeth.

How long do Crowns and Bridges Last?

While crowns and bridges can last a lifetime, they do sometimes become loose or fall out. The most important step you can take to ensure the longevity of your crown or bridge is to practice good oral hygiene. A bridge can lose its support if the teeth or bone holding it in place are damaged by dental disease. Keep your gums and teeth healthy by brushing with fluoride toothpaste twice a day and flossing daily. Also see us regularly for check-ups and professional cleanings.

To prevent damage to your new crown or bridge, avoid chewing hard foods, ice or other hard objects.

These types of restorations are a strong restorative option and have a high esthetic appeal due to the strong resemblance to natural tooth due to the translucency of porcelain.

Composite Fillings :

Composite fillings are a mixture of glass or quartz filler in a resin medium that produces a tooth-colored filling. They are sometimes referred to as composites or filled resins. Cosmetic Dentistry Sydney provide good durability and resistance to fracture in small-to-mid size restorations that need to withstand moderate chewing pressure. Less tooth structure is removed when the dentist prepares the tooth, and this may result in a smaller filling than that of an amalgam. Composites can also be “bonded” or adhesively held in a cavity, often allowing the dentist to make a more conservative repair to the tooth.
