Dentures
Langan Dental provides dentures and denture fittings to the Norfolk, NE area. Dentures are prosthetic devices constructed to replace missing teeth. Patients can lose teeth due to many reasons, the most prevalent being removal due to severe periodontal disease and tooth decay. If you need of removable partial dentures or a set of complete dentures, Dr. Adam Langan and his team will help restore your smile.
Advantages of dentures include:
Mastication – chewing ability is improved
Aesthetics – the presence of teeth provide a natural facial appearance
Phonetics – by replacing missing teeth, especially the anterior, patients are better able to speak
Self-Esteem – patients feel better about themselves
All of our offices can help you with denture and partial denture services. We can repair broken dentures, missing denture teeth and provide new dentures and partials when repairs are not practical or possible.

Dental Implants
A dental implant is an ideal tooth restoration for people who are missing one or more teeth as a result of injury, periodontal disease, or any other reason. A dental implant is a metal post that a periodontist or oral surgeon surgically positions into the jaw. Once in place and the bone surrounding the implant has had time to heal, a replacement tooth is attached to the post. While implants are typically more expensive than other methods of tooth replacement, they provide superior benefits. Implants are stronger than natural teeth and generally last 10-20 years. They are also a more favorable approach than bridgework since they do not depend on neighboring teeth for support.
To receive implants, you need to have healthy gums and adequate bone to support the implant. You must also be committed to excellent oral hygiene and regular dental visits as these are critical to the long-term success of dental implants.

Endodontic Treatment
Root canal therapy (endodontic treatment) is needed when the nerve of a tooth is affected by decay or infection. To save the tooth, the pulp (the living tissue inside the tooth), nerves, bacteria, and any decay are removed and the resulting space is filled with special, medicated, dental materials, which restore the tooth to its full function.
Having a root canal done on a tooth is the treatment of choice to save a tooth that otherwise would die and have to be removed. Many patients believe that removing a tooth that has problems is the solution, but what is not realized is that extracting (pulling) a tooth will ultimately be more costly and cause significant problems for adjacent teeth.
Root Canal Process
The CERC® digital imaging system allows our practice to generate an accurate 3D image of your jaw, mouth, and teeth, which is essential for cosmetic procedures including dental implants and Invisalign® orthodontics.
1.) The endodontist examines and takes a radiograph of the tooth using x- rays then administers local anesthetic. After the tooth is numb, the endodontist places a small protective sheet called a “dental dam” over the area to isolate the tooth and keep it clean and free of saliva during the procedure.
2.) The endodontist makes an opening in the crown of the tooth. Very small instruments are used to clean the pulp from the pulp chamber and root canals and to shape the space for filling.
3.) After space is cleaned and shaped, the endodontist fills the root canals with a biocompatible material, usually a rubber-like material called gutta-percha. The gutta-percha is placed with an adhesive cement to ensure
complete sealing of the root canals. In most cases, a temporary filling is placed to close the opening. The temporary filling will be removed by your dentist before the tooth is restored.
4.) After the final visit with your endodontist, you must return to your dentist to have a crown or other restoration placed on the tooth to protect
and restore it to full function.
Root canal treatment is highly successful and usually lasts a lifetime, although, on occasion, a tooth will have to be retreated due to new infections.
Signs & Symptoms for possible root canal therapy:
An abscess (or pimple) on the gums.
Sensitivity to hot and cold.
Severe toothache pain.
Sometimes no symptoms are present.
Swelling and/or tenderness.
