Description

RESTORATIVE TREATMENT Includes decay removal, replacement of failing restorations, repairing of broken or fractured teeth, and improvement in tooth esthetics. Types of fillings include composite (white), amalgam (if requested by patient), glass-ionomer (where fluoride release will help prevent future decay) and temporary filings when decay is deep and close to nerve. Crowns are performed to protect heavily restored or root canal treated teeth, as these teeth are heavily weakened and prone to fracture. Crowns may be all-ceramic, porcelain-fused-to-metal, or full-metal crowns, depending on the dental situation and taking patient’s input into account. Inlays, onlays, and cosmetic porcelain veneers are also restorative procedures that are provided by our office.
