Types of dental surgeries
As stated above, dental surgeries are of different types and here are a few common ones
Endodontic Surgeries
Root Canal Treatment
This is the most common type of surgery which is advised when you have a rotten tooth with infected pulp and root. The procedure takes a few hours and has quick recovery time. Root canal treatment is of three types:
Pulpotomy
This is a preliminary treatment of the root canal. In this treatment, the dentist works on the tooth, primarily the pulp chamber and drain all the infection out of the tooth.
Pulpectomy
This process involves removal of the pulp in the tooth which helps in suppressing the temporary pain.
Apicoectomy
It is a root-end resection wherein the dentist removes the root of the tooth, known as Apex. The expert dentist in New Britain, CT will also work on removing the infection completely off the tooth.
Prosthodontics
A rather common treatment nowadays, Prosthodontics includes a range of treatments that are executed to offer better visual appearances. Such procedures include:
Crowns
Also known as caps, these are artificial covers for a decaying or damaged tooth.There are a variety of caps available in the market made of different material including CMC/PMC (ceramic/porcelain metal composite), gold or a tin/ aluminum mixture and more.
Veneers
They are quite similar to crowns but with the only difference that they cover the front side of the teeth only.
Implant
Dental implants are very popular and a great solution to lost teeth. They are artificial fixtures planted on the jaw bone over which artificial tooth crowns are placed.
Dentures
If you have lost more than one tooth, dentures are a fix for your problem. Dentures are a set of tooth which can be fixed in your palatal surface.
