COSMETIC AND RESTORATIVE PROCEDURES

Composite (Tooth Colored) Fillings
Composite fillings not only look better than the old-fashioned fillings, they can also make your teeth stronger. Composite resin dental restoratives were created as an alternative to traditional metal dental fillings and can be used to repair cavities throughout the mouth and cover worn areas of the teeth. They contain no mercury. Composite fillings are even used sometimes to protect sensitive teeth for greater comfort when eating and drinking.
The composite resin fillings are bonded to the tooth structure, which helps prevent further breakage and damage to your tooth. They are color blended to match your natural tooth color.

Cosmetic Bonding
Cosmetic Bonding is a conservative way of changing the shape and color of teeth and closing unattractive spaces. An enamel-like composite material is applied to the surface of a tooth, sculpted into shape, contoured and polished, making the crack, chip, or space invisible. The procedure can be performed on teeth in just one visit and last for several years. Bonding procedures can be used to repair chipped and broken teeth or cover unsightly stains. Cosmetic tooth bonding offers a great way to enhance the beauty of your smile!
Dental Crowns (Caps)
Crowns can repair extensively decayed or damaged teeth and restore their strength and beauty. Crowns also serve as protection for teeth that are severely chipped, cracked or broken. Dental crowns can be made of ceramic, gold or a combination of porcelain and gold.
The procedure also requires an impression of the teeth after tooth reduction is performed. A temporary plastic crown is made. After the laboratory fabricates the crown, it can be cemented or bonded to the tooth.
