Implants are manufactured "anchors" that look like cylinders or screws. They are artificial replacements for natural tooth roots. Implants are used in upper and lower jaws. They are made of titanium and other materials that are well suited to the human body.

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped "cap" that is placed over a tooth – covering the tooth to restore its shape and size, strength, and/or to improve its appearance. The crowns, when cemented into place, fully encase the entire visible portion of a tooth that lies at and above the gum line.

Root canal treatment can relieve toothache, stop infection, and promote healing. A root canal is needed when tooth decay is likely to cause permanent damage to the pulp or has already done so.

A denture is a removable replacement for missing teeth and surrounding tissue. There are two types of dentures -- complete and partial. Complete dentures are used when all the teeth are missing, while partial dentures are used when some of the natural teeth remain.

An infant's first teeth are called baby teeth or primary teeth. They usually start to come in (erupt) between 6 months and 12 months of age. A total of 20 primary teeth erupt by about 3 years of age. Children begin to lose their primary teeth between the ages of 6 and 11 years. They are replaced by secondary, or permanent teeth.

One of the most common places that tooth decay develops is on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, called premolars and molars. When you run your tongue along the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, you can feel depressions and grooves. These indentations are called pits and fissures and are difficult to keep clean, we may recommend dental sealants. A dental sealant is a plastic material that is applied to a chewing surface of a back tooth.

Throughout the day,teeth are exposed to acids that can break down enamel and lead to tooth decay -- fluoride helps inhibit these acids from attacking the tooth surface, restore the minerals that have been worn down and repair weak spots in the enamel.

Dental extractions mean the extraction of the unwanted tooth. There can be many reasons behind why one wants to go for dental extractions.Some teeth are extracted because they are severely decayed, others may have advanced periodontal disease ("gum disease"), or else have broken in a fashion which cannot be repaired.
