Fillings
Finn Hill Dental offers tooth-colored composite fillings to treat areas of decay. The damaged portion tooth is removed and replaced with a natural-looking filling.
Root Canal
Every tooth consists of three different layers. The outermost and hardest layer is enamel, and the second layer is dentin. The third is pulp, which is the cavernous space where each tooth's live tissue and nerve are located.
If for any reason, the pulp space is exposed to the outside, the tissue becomes contaminated and eventually infected. The pulp exposure happens in many circumstances, such as when you have a large cavity or a fractured tooth.
The Poulsbo dentists at Finn Hill Dental can explain the exact reason for damage to the tissue and determine if a root canal is an appropriate treatment for you.
A root canal is a process of going inside the pulp space and removing the infected, dead tissue. The space is then disinfected and sealed. The dentists at Finn Hill Dental use the most advanced techniques and materials, making root canals as simple as possible. After the root canal, your Poulsbo dentist will likely place a crown on your tooth to safeguard against fracture.
Dental Crowns & Bridges
Dental crowns are tooth-shaped dental prostheses, which are designed to cover up damaged teeth and protect the remaining tooth structure. They are usually made out of porcelain, which means that they look just like a natural tooth.
Dental bridges include two dental crowns attached to healthy "abutment" teeth and a false tooth suspended between these teeth to fill the gap left behind by a missing tooth. Bridges can be used to replace one or several teeth.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are small rod or screw-shaped pieces of titanium that are built to function as an artificial tooth root and replace missing teeth. The implant is placed where your missing tooth used to be, and as it heals, it bonds with your jaw and gum tissue. After the healing process, implants can be used to support crowns or bridges.
Dentures
Partial dentures consist of one or multiple false teeth that attach to your remaining healthy teeth to restore your smile. Full dentures require the extraction of all of your remaining teeth and sit directly on the gum line to restore the form and function of your smile.
Nightguards & Mouthguards
Protect your teeth from grinding, clenching, or impact with removable appliances. There are many types of appliances and your Poulsbo dentist will help you decide on the best materials and product for your needs.
