Dental Fillings

Fillings are crucial for maintaining oral health and preventing more serious issues. When a tooth develops a cavity, it means there is decay that needs to be removed. Fillings restore the tooth's structure and function. By taking care of cavities right away, you prevent further decay and damage.

Left untreated, cavities can cause:

  • Pain

  • Infection

  • Tooth loss

Types of fillings:

  • Composite: Tooth-colored fillings that blend seamlessly with the color of your natural teeth.

  • Amalgam fillings: These strong and long-lasting fillings are ideal for those with a high risk of tooth decay, large cavities, or where moisture makes bonding difficult.

Crowns

Crowns are custom-designed coverings crafted from durable materials that fit atop damaged or weakened teeth. They blend seamlessly with your natural teeth color and are meant to provide long-term additional protection.

Some reasons you’d need a crown:

  • Cracked tooth

  • Weak or worn down tooth

  • To cover a root canal

  • Improve the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth

The process:

  • First we’ll capture a digital impression of your tooth

  • Then, we’ll show you the materials that your crown can be made from and send your tooth’s blueprint off to our trusted laboratory to create the restoration

  • Once your final restoration arrives, we’ll secure it to your prepared tooth
