The Urban Dentist

Are you or a member of your family missing teeth? If so, dental implants are one of the very best ways to replace them. A dental implant is an artificial tooth that is supported by a titanium fixture that placed in the jaws. It blends in very well with the rest of your smile. Once you visit Richmond Dentist Dr. Tony Kwong, not only will you be able to eat and chew more efficiently, you will be able to smile with more confidence. However, not everyone is a candidate for dental implants; each candidate must be evaluated to ensure a good result. Please call our Richmond Dental Clinic for a free consultation to see if dental implants will work for you.

If you are experiencing an intense, throbbing toothache, you may require a root canal. When a tooth has either a deep cavity or a crack through its nerve, the nerve of the tooth can start to get sick. The body’s response to injury is to swell. Inside every tooth is a soft tissue composed of a nerve and blood supply. When the nerve is severely injured, the soft tissue begins to swell but cannot expand within the confines of the tooth itself. Instead, pressure builds up and produces pain. Over time, the pressure will kill the nerve inside. The pain may go away momentarily; however, the tooth will be at risk of developing a painful infection at the root tip. For these reasons, a root canal is prescribed to save the tooth. Under the care of our experienced dentist near you, Dr. Kwong, we guarantee that we can repair your smile.
