Fillings
Composite fillings act as a dentistry solution for problems such as tooth decay or cracks. A composite filling is a tooth-colored plastic and glass mixture used to restore decayed teeth. This procedure is also utilized for cosmetic improvements of the smile by fixing any discoloration or reshaping any disfigured teeth. Another alternative to restoring teeth is silver amalgam.
Crowns
Porcelain crowns are frequently necessary to restore a tooth. They are used when simply filling in a tooth is not an option. There are times when they decay is so bad that we just have to use a porcelain crown. We also use them with severely damaged teeth or teeth that have already had multiple fillings. There are several types of porcelain crowns, so it is important to discuss which type is best for you with your dentist.
