All porcelain crowns and bridges, also known as caps, cover teeth that have cracks or chips, or are broken. They also are placed on top of dental implants when replacing missing teeth. To make your crown, we use a mold of your teeth so that the fit is comfortable. Once we have fitted and placed your crown, it will look, feel, and function just like your other natural teeth.

Bridges “bridge” the gap between teeth when you are missing one or more teeth. Bridges connect to crowns placed on either side of the gap, and a false tooth or teeth on the bridge sit in place of the missing teeth. Bridges look natural and restore full function to your teeth.

If you’re in pain due to an infected tooth, Greenwood dentist, Dr. Lael Banner can perform root canal therapy to relieve your pain and save your smile. Root canal therapy involves removing the infection from the tooth pulp and placing a crown to add strength to the tooth and prevent future infection. Root canals are often associated with pain, but most patients report that the pain from the infected tooth is far worse. If you need a root canal, Dr. Lael will walk you through the procedure, discuss your sedation options, and address any questions or concerns you might have.

Dental implants are increasingly the best alternative in tooth replacement for patients young and old. Unlike dentures, a dental implant is a permanent solution that remains in your mouth.Implants are designed to match the color, size, and appearance of your natural teeth, making them an excellent long-term option for restoring the look and function of your smile.

Do you want to straighten your smile but not deal with the “metal mouth” of conventional braces? At Banner Dental, we offer adults and older teens Invisalign® aligner therapy. Invisalign straightens your teeth using a series of plastic aligner trays. As you progress through the trays, your teeth gradually move into their perfect positions, giving you a smile you’ll want to show off all the time. The trays are clear, so most people won’t even know you’re wearing them. They are also removable, meaning you can brush your teeth and eat as you normally would.
