When you discover that your tooth is in need of a serious repair, you might find yourself feeling a surprising mix of emotions. On one hand, you are thrilled to be near the relief you want, so your tooth is healthy, whole, and functional again. On the other hand, you may feel extreme worry regarding what your tooth (and subsequently, your smile) will look like when all is said and done. Fortunately, we offer cosmetically sound restorative care treatments to ensure your repaired tooth is a thing of beauty.

Need A Filling?

If you come to our practice with tooth decay, we will generally suggest the restorative care treatment called a dental filling. As you know, decay eats away dental tissue, leaving a hole and destruction in its path. To restore your tooth, we must clean away the decay and then replace the tissue. For a beautiful finish, we offer composite fillings. Instead of metal (amalgam), we rely on a material called composite. Made of color-customizable synthetic acrylic-resin, the substance offers a lifelike appearance and will match your dental tissue. The result is a tooth that simply looks healthy again.

Time For A Crown

If the damage to your tooth includes severe decay, a break, or other injury that requires more than a filling, you may need the full coverage of a crown. A dental crown is a restorative care treatment comprised of a hollow-bodied artificial tooth. By providing you with a porcelain crown, we restore the full structure and function of your damaged tooth and offer long-term protection. In addition, by matching the shade of the porcelain to surrounding teeth, we leave you with a tooth that looks completely natural and healthy!
