Restorative

White/Composite Fillings
Made of tooth-colored material rather than mercury, composite fillings restore the teeth’s natural beauty. Composite fillings can be matched very closely to your natural tooth color and are virtually indistinguishable from non-restored teeth.

Onlays
A conservative restoration process in which composite, porcelain or gold is applied to a tooth that is not strong enough to support a filing.

Crown
A crown is a restoration that covers a tooth in order to strengthen the tooth and restore it to its normal shape and size. A crown may be placed to support a large filling when there is little remaining tooth structure, to attach a bridge, to protect weak teeth from fracturing, or to restore fractured teeth. Crowns are made of porcelain fused to white gold or all porcelain.

Bridge
A fixed bridge is used to replace missing teeth. A bridge helps to create a normal bite, prevent stress on the dental ridge, prevent the drifting and tilt of adjacent teeth, inhibit decay in abnormal areas, and slow the onset of periodontal disease.

Air Abrasion
This system is a highly advanced technology used to remove tooth decay and prepare teeth for filling. It eliminates the heat friction, vibration, noise, and continuous water stream generated by conventional drills.
