Filling, Crown & Bridge
Filling
We use tooth-colored bio-compatible materials that maintain the color of the tooth and look invisible to the naked eye. We remove silver-colored fillings in a safe manner only if necessary.
Crown
A dental crown (cap) is placed over a damaged natural tooth or on top of a dental implant to restore appearance and function. On a natural tooth, the decay is removed, the tooth is modified to create a platform and the crown is placed. On a dental implant, the crown is placed on top of an abutment and connected to the implant. Either way, a digital image or impression is made of the existing tooth in order to fabricate a new crown. Crowns can be made out of tooth-colored materials like porcelain or precious metal like gold.
Bridge
If you don’t prefer to have dental implants to replace missing one or a couple of teeth, dentures and bridges are the options. Unlike dentures, Bridges are a fixed, but adjacent teeth (called abutments) has to prepared. Preparation involves contouring these teeth by removing the portion of tooth structure.
