Advanced Services

Whether you’re in need of a dental cleaning or you’re seeking repair for a damaged tooth, it’s important to visit a dental professional you can trust. At American Dental Clinic, we offer a range of dental services for patients who care about their dental health. Here’s what you need to know about our dental services in Miami, FL.

Crowns

A crown is a cap that’s cemented over the tooth enamel to cover damage like a crack or chip. Crowns can also cover cosmetic damage like stains, restoring your teeth in appearance and functionality. Crowns can be made of tooth-colored material, or they can be made from metal. If it’s important to have a crown that looks like a natural tooth, your dentist can help you achieve that.

Dentures

Dentures are prosthetic teeth that fit on top of the gums and replace teeth that have been extracted. Dentures are designed to look like natural teeth, so no one can tell that you’re wearing dentures.

Dental Implants

An implant is a prosthetic tooth that’s fused to the jaw with an implanted post. A crown sits on top of the implant to make it look and feel like a natural tooth. Implants look so natural that no one will be able to tell the difference between your implant and your natural tooth. Because implants are so similar to natural teeth, many patients prefer implants to other forms of prosthetic teeth (like dentures).

Root Canal Treatment

A root canal is a treatment that dentists use when a tooth becomes infected, usually because of a crack. For a root canal, your dentist will drill out the infected material in the tooth, and clean out the enamel until all signs of infection are gone. Next, your dentist will seal up the tooth. Finally, your dentist will place a crown over the weakened enamel.

A root canal treatment can stop infection from spreading, and can help save your tooth from extraction. If you’re suffering from severe tooth pain, or if you’re noticing swelling and discomfort in one of your teeth, see the dentist as soon as possible. It could be that you need a root canal, and if so, it’s important to get your tooth treated as soon as possible.

Bridges

A bridge is a prosthetic tooth that sits on top of the gum, held in place by two crowns (one on either side of the bridge). A bridge is an alternative to a dental implant. Your dentist will let you know if a bridge is a good option for you based on the condition of your teeth as well as your budget. Like dental implants, bridges can be made from tooth-colored material that matches your other teeth, so the bridge looks natural.

TMJ Treatments

TMJ is a condition that affects the joints on either side of the head. TMJ can cause misalignment of the teeth and can also lead to pain in the jaw. At Amercian Dental Clinic, we offer TMJ treatment in Miami, FL. Our TMJ treatments include prescription medications and oral appliance therapy.
