Fillings, Crowns, and Bridges

Having one or more teeth that are damaged or decayed is an unpleasant experience that demands the intervention of a restorative dentist in your area. Fillings, crowns, and bridges will help you restore your beautiful smile by repairing or replacing your damaged teeth.

What Are Tooth Fillings?

Dental fillings improve the shape and function of decaying teeth. When a dentist installs a filling, he/she removes the decaying tissue inside the tooth. The cavity will then be cleaned out by the dentist before being filled with gold, porcelain, or other materials. This filling helps to prevent the tooth from getting more decayed or damaged in the days to come.

What Are Tooth Bridges And Tooth Crowns?

Dental bridges and dental crowns are restorative dentistry products that are custom-made to fit your mouth. While certain dental items are detachable, crowns and bridges are cemented to the teeth with a strong adhesive. This implies that only a dentist may remove them. Crowns are also known as "dental caps" because they resemble a cap and fit over a broken tooth. When one or more of your teeth are missing, a bridge is usually used. A row of pontic teeth is used to make them. On each side of the gap produced by your missing tooth or teeth, those teeth are then joined to your natural teeth. Dental implants are used by many individuals who require tooth bridges to keep the bridge in place.
