You know, when even one of your teeth becomes severely damaged or is lost altogether, it can affect more than your appearance and self confidence.  With time, your speech can be affected and your food choices limited.  That’s why restorations including fillings, crowns, bridges, and implants were invented.  They can restore natural-looking form and function.
 Here’s how restorations work.

1.)  A filling is a restoration that repairs part of a damaged tooth.  When modern composite or ceramic materials are combined with precision techniques, fillings can fit and fill most types of cavities without removing large amounts of healthy enamel and be very aesthetic and cosmetic looking.  And they can be color-matched to look completely natural.

 2.) A restoration that strengthens and protects the tooth is called a crown and may have heard it called a cap because it actually caps the entire tooth.

 3.) A bridge is a combination of crowns and artificial teeth that closes a gap left by a missing tooth (or teeth), restoring your smile and redistributing the workload.

 4.) A  tooth implant is an artificial crown and root which is permanently implanted right into your jawbone.  Once placed, it acts like a natural tooth to avoid bone loss and prevent drifting of surrounding teeth.  Different implant types and techniques are available to provide individual solutions, from replacing one tooth to anchoring dentures securely.

 Whatever your need, restorative treatments can save time, money, and your smile!
