Whether they are amalgam (metal), gold, or composite (white), fillings are the most common restorative procedure. These are used to fill holes caused by cavities and decay, restoring the functionality and appearance of a tooth.

If a tooth has suffered significant decay and is irreparable via fillings, it may be time for dental crowns (or caps as they are sometimes called). These restorative processes involve constructing a “cap” that covers the entire tooth down to the gum line in order to protect it from further damage.

Certain levels of tooth decay are not significant enough for a crown, bridge, or filling, and sometimes inlays or onlays are a better solution. They are common ways to restore damaged teeth and stop tooth decay right in its tracks—sealing teeth from the outside world and all the bacteria in it.

When damage is significant, dental implants may be a viable option. This is the process of replacing existing tooth structures with implanted, artificial teeth. These are attached by a metal post that is essentially bonded to your jawbone via a screw-like metal “root.”  Dental implants can replace individual teeth or a full set. All-on-4 dental implants are a minimally invasive way to install a complete set of new, natural-looking teeth.
