Crowns and Bridges
Same Day CrownsWhen fillings become too large, stronger restorations become necessary. When a filling used to repair a fractured or decayed tooth approaches 50% or more of the tooth, the structure of the tooth becomes weakened, leading to the filling breaking or the remaining tooth fracturing, often resulting in nerve damage or tooth loss. Crowns are a permanent, natural looking restoration which is the strongest dentistry has to offer. We can match the color and shape of your surrounding teeth, to restore the original form and function. All-ceramic crowns can be utilized without the use of metal foundations, so you will not have the worry of dark metal showing. Cosmetically, crowns can be used to change the shape of teeth (making crooked teeth appear straight), close spaces, or change tooth color. Crowns can restore your tooth/teeth to their original strength, beauty and function.

In cases where the tooth is missing, it's important to fix the problem as surrounding teeth may shift and tarter can build up resulting in gum disease. Bonding references using a composite resin in order to lighten stains, fill gaps in crooked teeth, and even fix misshapen teeth. Inlays are a high-quality, precision fit solution for damaged or decayed teeth. A composite resin is used to create a mold of the tooth to ensure an exact fit. Inlays are often made from porcelain, gold, or other alloys.
