Fillings replace the decayed part of the tooth with a natural looking material.

Ceramic crowns repair the tooth when a filling is not an option and have no metal so the natural tooth appearance remains.

• Crowns splinted together replacing missing teeth
• Ceramic bridges provide the same function as a crown, but also replace missing teeth, and provide the same natural tooth appearance.

Implants are another option when a crown is necessary. Artificial root/bone is placed in the gum tissue and the implant is subsequently crowned, again, with a ceramic crown, provided a natural tooth appearance.

A root canal removes and replaces a damaged nerve with a filling to prevent removal of the tooth. Saving your natural teeth is always the best option when at all possible.

Dentures are sometimes the only tooth replacement option. A partial denture and a full denture are both removable appliance options to restore appearance, form and function of lost teeth.
