What can you do if your teeth are broken or decayed? The damage won’t fix itself and ignoring it will only make the problem worse. Your best option is to call Oak Point Dental to schedule a consultation with Dr. Ahn. Once she has had a chance to examine the damaged tooth, she can determine what type of dental restoration is the best choice for fixing and protecting your smile. Call today if you think you might need restorative dentistry in the near future.
Crowns are used in situations where the damage to the tooth or teeth is too extensive to be repaired with a regular filling. Each crown is shaped like the tooth it’s protecting, and while some are made of gold and other metals, others are composed of tooth-colored materials that look extremely natural in the mouth. In short, we can design a crown that resembles your natural teeth so closely that it will almost be as if your smile never suffered from any damage in the first place.
A filling is ideal if you have a small cavity or minor dental damage that needs to be addressed. Our fillings are made out of a composite resin that’s shaded to blend in with your natural tooth enamel. The result is that the enamel looks like a natural part of your tooth once it’s in place. An additional benefit is that the composite resin bonds directly with the enamel and doesn’t need any undercutting to hold it in place, so we’ll be able to save more of your natural tooth enamel.
