Dentures & Partial Dentures
Are dentures from Charvet Dental Center a good solution for your lifestyle and dental needs?
Full-Mouth Reconstruction
Full mouth reconstruction allows Dr. Charvet and Dr. Charvet Jr. to repair multiple problems in your mouth at one time.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are an excellent restorative solution in the form of a ceramic cap. We create the dental crown after taking an impression and measurements of the teeth. We customize each dental restoration to match the individual's teeth for a perfect fit.
After customization, the crown will blend in with your surrounding teeth, and prevent anything from directly touching the tooth. A crown is a type of cap that commonly protects chipped, cracked, damaged or eroded teeth. A crown can also correct common aesthetic problems by closing gaps between teeth, changing the shape and size of teeth, covering dark stains, and making teeth appear to be straighter.
Crowns are long-lasting with an average lifespan of fifteen years or longer, making them incredibly popular. Before placement, we need to prepare the tooth. When you visit our Metairie dental office, we will remove a portion of the enamel around your tooth so the crown can surround it without making it overly large.
We will then attach a temporary crown using water-based glue. When the final crown is ready, you will return so we can bond the crown in place. Once complete, your tooth will be fully functional and beautiful.
Dental Bridges
If you are missing one or several teeth, dental bridges are an ideal solution for replacing them. For this procedure to work, you need to have remaining healthy teeth that can serve as anchors for the bridge. Dr. Charvet or Dr. Charvet Jr. secure a dental bridge by placing dental crowns on the two teeth surrounding the missing one.
These crowns hold the bridge and new tooth in place. Those suffering from major tooth loss may not be a good candidate for dental bridges, since a dental bridge requires healthy, natural teeth to hold it in place. Otherwise, they are a good non-surgical solution for tooth loss and can look completely natural.
If you live in the Metairie area and are tired of wearing dentures or are considering tooth replacement options, we invite you to call (504) 834-6504 and learn more.
Dental Implants
At Charvet Dental Center, we often discuss the benefits of dental implants with our patients. It is important to deal with tooth loss as soon as possible. After losing the tooth, the jawbone will no longer receive stimulation from that area. Without stimulation, the body begins to think the jawbone is no longer necessary and leaches calcium from the area. This process of resorption can lead to devastating changes in the face, creating a sunken appearance.
Dental implants are the best solution for preventing this since an implant replaces both the tooth and root. In this procedure, Dr. Charvet or Dr. Charvet Jr. implant a titanium rod under the gums and secure it to the jawbone. The bone and metal will fuse together through the process of osseointegration. Once the process is complete, we can secure an artificial tooth to the post. The result is a tooth that looks, feels, and behaves entirely naturally.
If you lead an active lifestyle and do not want to be constrained by tooth loss, dental implants are the best option for you. If you live in Metairie, LA, you have access to dental care, and we recommend that you call to learn more about this innovative procedure.
Dental Veneers
One of the most common dental procedures is the placing of dental veneers. This type of cosmetic dental care is popular because of the variety of issues it can correct. A veneer is a thin shell that we bond to the surface of the tooth.
Dr. Charvet or Dr. Charvet Jr. will only need to remove a small portion of the enamel prior to the bonding procedure, making veneers less invasive than placing dental crowns. Veneers can create beautiful smiles for everyone, including celebrities, college students, brides, and grandparents. We encourage you to call and schedule an appointment with Charvet Dental Center to learn more about this option.
