COMPOSITE RESTORATIONS

PATIENTS WHO ARE 30 AND OVER MAY HAVE OLD AND LEAKING AMALGAM FILLINGS.  NOLA DENTAL CLINIC USES TOOTH COLORED COMPOSITE RESTORATIONS, WHICH BOND TO THE TOOTH.  COMPOSITES ARE HIGHLY RETENTIVE, STRONG, AND COSMETIC.

ROOT CANAL TREATMENT

Do You Need a Root Canal?

While only a skilled dentist can tell if you need root canal therapy, you may need one to save your tooth if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms:

•You notice severe tooth pain when you chew or put pressure on your tooth.

•Your tooth looks discolored or dark and is also painful.

•Your painful tooth’s surrounding gums are swollen and tender.

•A tiny bump has formed on your gums near where your tooth is hurting.

•You feel tooth pain when it is exposed to extreme hot or cold temperatures, and that pain lingers after being exposed to these elements.

DENTAL SURGERY

UNFORTUNATELY, EXTRACTIONS ARE NECESSARY IF A TOOTH IS NON-RESTORABLE.  DENTAL EXTRACTIONS ARE A LAST OPTION.  HOWEVER, WE MAKE SURE OUR PATIENTS ARE COMFORTABLE AND HAVE A PAINLESS EXPERIENCE.

CROWN AND BRIDGE

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A CROWN AND BRIDGE?

​

ESSENTIALLY, A CROWN IS A CAP USED TO RESTORE A TOOTH TO ITS ORIGINAL APPEARANCE AND PREVENT FURTHER DAMAGE OR DECAY.  A BRIDGE, UNLIKE A CROWN, UTILIZES EXISTING TEETH TO FILL IN AN AREA LEFT VACANT BY A MISSING TOOTH.

DENTURES

DENTURES ARE SOMETIMES NECESSARY TO REPLACE FAILING AND MISSING TEETH.  NOLA DENTAL CLINIC OFFERS PARTIAL AND FULL DENTURES THAT ARE COSMETICALLY APPEALING, DURABLE AND AFFORDABLE.
