Fillings are the most common dental restoration performed at our office. Your dentist will carefully remove decay from your tooth, and fill the remaining cavity with natural tooth-colored composite resin. For both cosmetic and health reasons, our doctors choose composite fillings over traditional silver (amalgam) fillings.
A crown is a natural looking tooth shaped restoration that completely covers your tooth. We place crowns when your natural tooth isn’t strong enough to function without protection; for example, to repair a broken or worn down tooth, to protect a root canaled tooth, to cover an implant, or to support a bridge. Most crowns in our office are made out of a very hard white material called zirconia, or a zirconia derived product. Zirconia is biocompatible and durable which makes it the best material for most, but not all, patients – so we’ll determine the best kind of crown for you based on your unique case. Feel free to ask us which is best for you. Learn more about crowns in Dr. Martin’s Q&A on our blog.
Bridges replace missing teeth by using the adjacent teeth as an anchor to literally “bridge” a gap with a natural-looking false tooth. Your anchor teeth are fitted with crowns so they can be strong enough to support the false teeth between them.
A denture is a removable replacement for missing teeth. Dentures can replace one, many, or all of your teeth. We also offer a comfortable, permanent alternative to dentures, called the All-on-4.
