Crown and Bridges

I’ve heard of a cap or a crown, what is that?

Are all crowns the same? What are they made out of and which one would be best for me?

My last dentist wanted me to get a gold crown- why would he say that? Aren't the tooth colored ones better?
Dentures

What are Partials?

I only have a few teeth missing and my Dentist recommended that I get a denture. I'm only in my thirties! Aren't dentures for older people?

What are immediate dentures? I need to have front teeth taken out, and I don't want to go without teeth!
Extractions / Oral Surgery

What is Dry Socket? My husband had his tooth pulled and two days later he was in a lot of pain- the Dentist told me he had it.

My tooth is killing me! I want to come in and have it pulled the same day- can you help!

I'm sick of dealing with my teeth, they're too far gone. I just want to have them all pulled and get dentures!
