Air abrasion is a drill-less dental technique that involves the use of a tool akin to a tiny sandblaster. The tool blasts a fine stream of tiny particles of a substance called aluminum oxide. Air abrasion operates with kinetic energy rather than mechanical. Because of this, less friction is generated, which means you do not usually need a local anesthetic.

A crown is a covering that will wrap and protect the entire surface of a tooth, allowing it to look and function just like the original tooth. Crowns work to strengthen the tooth while protecting the existing structure, extending the life of the tooth longer that it would be with a filling or another restoration.

A dental bridge is a fixed (non-removable) appliance and is one of the traditional dental methods for replacing missing teeth. The type of bridge used most often is called a fixed bridge, and consists of two crowns that go over two anchoring teeth (abutment teeth) and are attached on either side of the artificial teeth (pontics), filling the gap created by one or more missing teeth.
