RESTORATION
OF IMPLANTS
Over time your implants will need restoration. Depending on your need Dr. Martinez will put a white crown or denture so that you can take full advantage of your implant.
OF WORN OUT TEETH
Tooth wear is often related to excessive forces applied to your teeth, i.e. grinding or gritting. Other factors may include excessive acids in either drinks or food. In addition, as we age teeth tend to get more worn and chipped. Clenching is often related to uneven contacts of the teeth, causing muscle strain and increased pressure on your teeth.
Worn teeth create that ‘chin close to nose’ look associated with the very elderly. Also cheek tissue folds over, cracks may appear in the corners of the lips and the face falls in, all leading to a prematurely old appearance. Tooth nerves can be exposed and die and gums can become inflamed or break down. Dr. Martinez will use a number of techniques including bonding and crowns to bring your teeth back to how they were during their glory days.
