Teeth Cleaning

Fillings
Crowns
The tooth is restored by your dentist within a couple of weeks. If your existing crown can be saved, then you will need to have it repaired. If you do not have a crown, it will probably be recommended.
Bridges
The type of restoration present is based on prior decay or injury as well as the function and position of the tooth in the mouth. Since most dental abcesses are the result of bacterial contamination, the first step to relieving the problem is to eradicate any decay, which is simply bacterial infection of the tooth structure. The more restorations present in a tooth, the more cumulative damage to the pulp. Any tooth with a crown may be considered to have a "battered pulp" as this is a large, strong restoration usually placed when not enough tooth structure remains to support a filling. Any tooth that has decay adjacent to the margin of the restoration is providing a freeway for bacterial penetration. These restorations must be replaced to avoid a recurrent abcess. Older restorations are more likely to have defective margins. Crowns and bridges complicate treatment in two ways. Radiographically we cannot see through the metalwork, thereby not being able to accurately diagnose decay underneath. Secondly, working inside a tooth with a crown is similar to being in a dark tunnel. Modern illumination and magnification are essential for accuracy in a microsurgical environment.

Root Canal Treatment
Endodontics is the branch of dentistry that specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of the dental pulp, commonly referred to as the nerve. Your dentist may refer you to an endodontist the same way your medical doctor may refer you to a surgeon for knee replacement or to an obstetrician for the care of an expectant mother. Endodontists have 2-3 years additional training after dental school for complex diagnoses, complicated root anatomy, and traumatic injuries affecting the pulp. Part of their training is differential diagnosis or learning to differentiate dental pain and symptoms apart from other sources, such as sinus pain.
Apicoectomy
An Apicoectomy, or Root-End Resection, is the removal of the root tip and the surrounding infected tissue of an abscessed tooth. This procedure may be necessary when inflammation and infection persists in the area around the root tip after root canal therapy or root canal retreatment.

Dentures
Dr. Bryan graduated from East Tennessee State University and was awarded her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Tennessee College of Dentistry in 1988. She had the distinction of receiving the class award from the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons. She attended the General Practice Residency at the University of Tennessee Medical Center at Knoxville. This is a yearlong program for advanced training in general dentistry including oral surgery, anesthesia, implants, prosthodontics (dentures and bridgework), and managing medically compromised patients. After eight years of private practice in Kingsport, Dr. Bryan entered postgraduate school at The University of Connecticut. She received her certification in Endodontics and returned to Kingsport in 1999.

Teeth Whitening
Internal, or non-vital, bleaching is used to lighten a darkly discolored tooth that has had root canal therapy. A chemical oxidizing agent is placed within the coronal portion of a tooth to remove tooth discoloration. It may be performed in the dental office using a procedure known as "chair side bleach." In this procedure, bleach crystals are placed inside the tooth, left for a period of time, and then removed before leaving the office. This may be done once or several times, depending upon the discoloration of the tooth. Another method is known as "walking bleach". In this procedure, bleach crystals are placed inside the tooth, left for several days and then the patient returns to the dental office to have the bleach crystals removed. Again, this procedure may be performed one or more times, depending upon the discoloration of the tooth. An endodontist commonly performs these procedures.
