Crowns & Bridges

What is a crown?

A crown is a protective cover placed over a tooth to make it stronger, restore its shape, and improve its appearance.

Benefits of a crown:

It protects the tooth
It helps restore the tooth’s shape and strength
It lets you chew more normally
It can improve how the tooth looks

We will recommend a crown when a tooth is:

badly broken or worn down
weakened by a large filling
cracked
treated with a root canal
badly stained or misshapen

What is a bridge?

A dental bridge is a fixed replacement for a missing tooth that fills the space and helps restore your smile and bite.

Benefits of a bridge:

restore your smile
make chewing easier
improve speaking
keep nearby teeth from shifting out of place

We will recommend a bridge when a tooth is:

Congenitally missing teeth; often recommended for teenagers and young adults who are still growing.
Insufficient bone support or bone loss that makes the area unable to properly support a dental implant.

Fillings

What is a filling?

A filling is a treatment used to repair a tooth that has a cavity, small crack, or minor damage. The damaged or decayed part of the tooth is removed and filled with composite resin to restore the tooth’s shape and function.

Benefits of a filling:

remove decay and prevent it from progressing
repair minor chips
treat enamel abfractions (small areas of tooth structure loss near the gumline)
reduce sensitivity or discomfort
strengthen the tooth

What is a laser filling?

A laser filling uses dental laser technology to remove decay and prepare the tooth for a filling, often without the need for numbing, depending on the location and depth of the cavity

Benefits of a laser filling:

remove decay in a more precise way
make treatment more comfortable
reduce the need for drilling and numbing in certain cases
preserve more healthy tooth structure

Implant Restoration

What is implant restoration?

Implant restoration is the final step of the implant treatment process, where the visible replacement tooth is attached to the dental implant.

While we do not place dental implants in our office, we refer patients to an oral surgeon and once healing is complete, we place the final abutment and crown to restore the tooth.

Benefits of implants:

replace a missing tooth or teeth
restore your smile
improve chewing and overall function
provide a natural look and feel
