Dental tips for a happier, healthier life
Dentists may use a dental implant to replace tooth roots with metal posts. That way, they can restore missing or damaged teeth with artificial ones.
For thousands of years, people have been replacing missing teeth, first in China and then Egypt. The Chinese used bamboo pegs, while the Egyptians used copper. We could only imagine the skills that went with the procedures, never mind the pain involved.
A vital part of restorative dentistry is dental crowns. They help repair teeth damaged by trauma and decay, among other problems. They are a type of dental restoration that covers the back, side, top, and entire visible portion of a tooth. Read on to learn more about when a dental crown is necessary.
Dental implants have several advantages, including their ability to resemble the look and feel of natural teeth closely. Dentists attach them permanently, unlike removable options, and they can last a lifetime with proper maintenance. However, it is critical to maintain your implants' functionality and longevity by giving them the appropriate care.

It was my second time, within a month, visiting this dental office. The establishment is very clean and well organized. The front desk staff (Sharon and Susan) are friendly and professional. My service, for both visits, was provided by the dental hygienists Ms. Kayla Scott. She was very professional, thorough and gentle. Well, since I’m in this for the long haul, to get back on track with my oral care after my previous dentist abruptly closed his practice in 2022, I’m glad I am very pleased with the service provided at Progressive Dental. I recommend this practice!
