For Patients

Do you have damaged or missing teeth?

Crown & Bridge restorations may be your answer!

Your teeth are considered to be your most precious asset. They do so much for your health and even your personal appearance that naturally you want to do everything you can to keep them healthy and look good.

Nevertheless, sometimes tooth decay advances to a point where a tooth is too weak. It is at these times, your dentist may recommend a crown and bridge

	Crown: A dental restoration which completely encircles the existing natural tooth and restores it to its natural form.
	Bridge: A dental restoration which replaces one or more missing teeth. Consists of an artificial tooth attached to a crown on the natural tooth on each side of the gap.

This is a step that can help preserve the health and appearance of your smile.

Ivocap injection moulding processing system

The SR Ivocap ® system uses a controlled heat/pressure polymerization procedure during which time the exact amount of material flows into the flask to compensate for Shrinkage which ensures a perfect fit. This pressure also optimizes the physical properties of the SR Ivocap ® High Impact denture base material and enhances the bond of the acrylic teeth to the base. An increase in the vertical dimension of the denture is also avoided.

SR Ivocap ® Advantages:

• Complete polymerization - reduced irritation to the gums from free monomer. Great for those with allergies
• Strong - extremely dense material reduces the chances of breakage.
• Clean - because of the injection process the denture base become non porous limiting the traditional odour that you can get from ordinary dentures.
• Accuracy - again, due to the injection moulding process, conventional dimensional changes do not occur. Dentures are accurate and they fit as expected.
• Health - because SR Ivocap ® dentures are accurate, none irritating, comfortable, aesthetically pleasing, patients can eat better than conventional dentures.
• Aesthetics – Due to the natural appearance of Ivoclar teeth, resistance to wear and the attention to detail and precision incorporated during the construction of the dentures, dentures appear as natural as possible, so patients can smile, speak and laugh with confidence.
• Fit – due to extreme care incorporated in the construction of the dentures, it results into a better fitting, more comfortable prostheses (dentures that will require fewer adjustment appointments)

Ivoclar teeth

The Ivoclar teeth are manufactured using a layering process that produces a natural opalescence. Life like characterizations, such as demineralization points, are captured within every tooth.

Healthy teeth for you and your family

Want to make sure that your teeth are well taken care of? It's really important to have good oral health habits because a dental problem may have more negative consequences than you can ever imagine!

1	START CHILDREN EARLY Despite great strides in decay prevention, one in four young children develops signs of tooth decay before they start school. Half of all children between the ages of 12 and 15 have cavities. "Dental care should begin as soon as a child's first tooth appears, usually around six months."Teeth can be wiped with a clean, damp cloth or a very soft brush. At about age 2, you can let kids try brushing for themselves -- although it's important to supervise."
2	SEAL OFF TROUBLE Permanent molars come in around age 6. Thin protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth can prevent decay in the pits and fissures. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, sealants can significantly reduce caries. Yet only one in three U.S. kids receives dental sealants. Talk to your dental professional.
3	USE ENOUGH - BUT NOT TOO MUCH - FLUORIDE The single biggest advance in oral health has been fluoride, which strengthens enamel, making it less likely to decay. Three out of four Americans drink water that is fluoridated. If your water isn't fluoridated, talk to your dental professional, who may suggest putting a fluoride application on your teeth. Many toothpastes and mouth rinses also contain fluoride. Fluoride should be used sparingly in young children -- no more than a pea-sized dab on the toothbrush. Too much can cause white spots on teeth.
4	BRUSH TWICE A DAY AND FLOSS DAILY Gum disease and tooth decay remain big problems -- and not just for older people. Three-fourths of teenagers have gums that bleed, according to the ADHA. Along with the basic advice, remember: Toothbrushes should be changed 3 to 4 times a year. Teenagers with braces may need to use special toothbrushes and other oral hygiene tools to brush their teeth. Talk to your dentist or orthodontist. Older people with arthritis or other problems may have trouble holding a toothbrush or using floss. Some people find it easier to use an electric toothbrush. Others simply put a bicycle grip or foam tube over the handle of a regular toothbrush to make it easier to hold.
