Tooth-Colored Fillings
Also known as composite fillings, this type of restoration is used to fill small to mid-size cavities. Composite resin can be shaded to match the natural color of your teeth, so it blends in perfectly with the enamel once it has been placed. Also, it can bond directly with the tooth itself, making it a conservative restoration option; traditional metal fillings can only be placed after we have made permanent changes to the structure of your tooth.
Laser Fillings
In recent years, dentists have discovered the advantages of using dental lasers in the process of placing fillings. Instead of using a noisy dental drill, we can gently remove small layers of your tooth structure with a laser. Not only is this procedure much quieter and more precise, but it also actively sterilizes the tooth, killing any bacteria living deep within the cavity and improving your oral health over the long term. If you’re told that you need a filling, feel free to ask if a laser will be utilized.
Dental Crowns
When a tooth has suffered from extensive damage or a large cavity that cannot be filled, we can cover it with a dental crown. Our practice uses a variety of materials for crowns, including gold and zirconia. Gold is a very durable material that is not easily worn down, which is why it’s used for dental restorations. Zirconia, on the other hand, is a strong material that can be shaded to perfectly mimic the color of your tooth. The type of crown you receive depends partially on your own preferences and partially on your oral health needs.
