PERIODONTAL THERAPY
Occasionally, when a patient presents with active periodontal disease (gum disease), a procedure called Scaling and Root Planing is necessary. This process is usually accomplished in 2-3 visits and requires deeper instrumentation of the teeth and gums to removed diseased tissue. Our team will make any necessary recommendations if you are in need of this treatment.
CROWNS
A crown is the choice of treatment when your tooth has experienced one of the following:
Significant tooth structure loss due to decay
Internal or external fracture of existing filling and or tooth structure
Total loss of cusp tips by way of fracture
When Root Canal Therapy has been performed on a posterior tooth
Fracture or loss of an old crown
Cosmetic correction of discolored teeth
Crowns can be fabricated from two materials, gold and ceramic (tooth colored). Dr. Naki will help educate you on what material is best for your oral health.
ONLAYS/INLAYS
An inlay or an onlay may be performed on a tooth when there is enough tooth structure remaining after removal of decay, old fillings and fractures. The remaining tooth structure is preserved in the design of the inlay or onlay. Dr. Naki’s objective with these restorations is to preserve the remaining tooth structure.
