Dental Crowns & Bridges
A dental crown is a custom-designed restoration that we place over the entire top portion of a tooth (everything above the gumline). Its purpose is to renew the tooth’s strength, function, and/or appearance. A dental bridge is meant to replace one or more teeth. It usually includes two crowns, which get placed over the teeth next to an empty space. The crowns support an artificial tooth between them. Crowns and bridges can be made out of various materials, but we generally prefer to use dental porcelain, which is extraordinarily lifelike.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Dentists formerly relied on a material known as silver amalgam to fill cavities. While the amalgam served its purpose well enough, many patients complained about its dark color. For this and other reasons, we now primarily use tooth-colored fillings. These natural-looking restorations are made out of a biocompatible composite resin that comes in a variety of shades. They blend in seamlessly with the dentition around them and provide reliable protection against further dental decay.
Dentures
If you have lost a significant number of teeth, we may recommend that you receive dentures to replace your missing dentition. Dentures have helped generations of patients to enjoy renewed chewing ability and enhanced facial aesthetics. We are proud to offer traditional full dentures, partial dentures, and implant-supported dentures. The type that is right for you will depend on your unique circumstances. We design these prosthetics with function, appearance, and comfort as our top priorities.
