Fillings
Fillings are used to treat cavities and fill in the space left in your tooth after decay is removed. There are now many safe options for fillings such as composite tooth colored fillings. These can be used for new fillings or to replace damaged or old fillings. Talk to your dentist about what works best with your individual situation.
Crowns
Crowns are recommended and implemented for a number of reasons. One reason is to cover up teeth that are discolored or shaped awkwardly. They can also cover and support a tooth when a large filling is present in order to provide structure for the tooth. It can also attach a bridge, protect a week tooth, or fix a tooth that has been broken.
Bridges
The purpose of a bridge is to replace missing teeth with artificial teeth. They literally bridge the gap where missing teeth have been. They can be made from gold, alloy, porcelain, or a combination of these. They are attached to the healthy teeth surrounding the missing teeth for structure and support.
Partial Dentures
Removable partial dentures are replacement teeth attached to pink or gum-colored plastic bases, which are connected by metal framework. They can be taken in and out of the mouth as needed for cleaning.
