Tooth-Colored Fillings
Tooth-colored fillings blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, creating a smooth and durable restoration. These composite materials bond securely to the tooth structure and help prevent further decay. Because they match your enamel, they offer both cosmetic and functional benefits.
Patients appreciate this option for its strength, natural appearance, and quick placement.
Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride strengthens weakened enamel and helps reverse early decay. When decay is detected in its earliest stage, fluoride is often a simple and effective solution. This treatment works by reinforcing the minerals in your enamel, making teeth more resistant to acids that cause cavities.
It serves as an important step in protecting your teeth from future issues.
Dental Crowns
Crowns help restore teeth with significant decay that cannot be treated with a filling. A crown covers the entire tooth surface, providing a stable, long-lasting solution. Modern crowns are shaped and shaded to look natural, allowing patients to enjoy both strength and an improved smile.
This option supports long-term function for teeth with advanced decay.
Root Canal Therapy
When decay reaches the inner pulp of the tooth, root canal therapy may be needed. This treatment removes the infected tissue and preserves the natural tooth structure. A filling or crown is then placed to restore appearance and function.
Root canal therapy helps prevent further infection while allowing the tooth to remain in place.
