Is there an alternative to dentures?
There are basically two forms of tooth replacement, fixed and removable. A removable denture may be a complete denture where there are no remaining natural teeth or a removable partial denture. A fixed denture often called bridgework is anchored to natural teeth or implants. Generally a fixed appliance is more attractive than a removable appliance. READ MORE
Can cavities form under sealants?
Sealants are thin layer of composite resin that is painted over the ridges and grooves of posterior teeth to seal out bacteria that cause decay. Over time the sealant can chip, wear, or be lost, allowing the teeth to decay. READ MORE
