Treating Every Phase of Tooth Decay

Almost everyone will experience tooth decay at some point in his or her life. Swift detection and correction of tooth decay can minimize the significant expenses and inconveniences associated with more serious problems. Restorative dentistry treats all phases of tooth decay, from simple cavity fillings to entire tooth replacements.

Fillings

Composite resin fillings match your natural tooth color and restore cavities from decay with a durable, natural-looking result. For more extensive decay, porcelain inlays or onlays provide greater coverage and strength.

Inlays & Onlays

Lab-fabricated gold or porcelain restorations for moderate decay or structural weakness — more durable than a filling, less invasive than a crown. Inlays fill the surface; onlays restore the chewing surface and cusps.

Crowns

A porcelain or gold crown caps the entire visible tooth surface, reinforcing a chipped, cracked, badly decayed, or weakened tooth. Crowns restore strength and a natural appearance — and can last for many years with proper care.

Fixed Bridges

A custom bridge fills the gap left by missing teeth by cementing to adjacent prepared teeth. It restores chewing function, prevents remaining teeth from shifting, and maintains facial structure. Dental implants are the permanent alternative.

Root Canal Therapy

When a tooth's pulp becomes infected from a fracture or deep cavity, a root canal removes the infected tissue, seals the canal with a rubber material, and tops the tooth with a protective crown. Root canals have a high success rate and are far preferable to extraction — saving your natural tooth is always the goal.
