Quality Restorative Dentistry and Fillings

Teeth that have been affected by tooth decay (caries or cavities) require a filling. There are many different types of fillings that are mentioned below.

Composite Resins

Also known as white fillings, a composite resin is a tooth-colored plastic mixture filled with glass (silicon dioxide). It is used primarily for cosmetic improvements of the smile by changing the color of the teeth or reshaping disfigured teeth. These are other alternatives to restoring damaged or decayed teeth. 

Porcelain Veneers

A porcelain veneer is a ceramic material that is bonded to the front of teeth to change the tooth's color, size, and/or shape.

Crown

A "cap" that covers a cracked or broken tooth, unfixed by a filling, to approximate its normal size and shape.

Cast Gold Restorations

A cast gold restoration is often more costly and may require more than one dental fitting.
