Fillings and Crowns

A dental crown (or cap) is a covering that encases the entire tooth surface restoring it to its original shape and size. A drown protects and strengthens the tooth structure that cannot be resorted with fillings or other types of restorations.

 

There are several types of crowns. Porcelain are the  most popular because they resemble your natural teeth. They are durable and will last many years. Porcelain crowns are made to match the shape, size and color of your natural teeth making your smile natural and beautiful.

 

There are several reasons for dental crowns including broken or fractured teeth, cosmetic enhancement, decayed teeth, fractured fillings, large fillings, root canal on a tooth.

 

Tooth Colored Fillings

Previously teeth were filled with a mixture of different metals called amalgam. In today’s world new solutions are available. Natural-looking and metal free fillings are becoming the preferred approach to restoring your teeth. Composite resins and porcelains are both safe and predictable. The most important feature, for many people, is that they look and react like natural teeth.
