Restore Your Smile: How White Fillings, Crowns, and More Fix Cavities and Broken Teeth

Your smile is one of your greatest assets, and keeping it healthy is essential. But let’s face it—life happens! Cavities sneak in, and accidents can leave teeth chipped or broken. The good news? Modern dentistry offers fantastic solutions to restore your teeth to their natural beauty and function. Whether it’s a small cavity or a major tooth repair, our dental office has you covered with white composite fillings, crowns, bridges, and implants. Let’s explore how each treatment works to bring back your smile!

Fixing Cavities with White Composite Fillings

Cavities happen when bacteria weaken the enamel, creating tiny holes in your teeth. If left untreated, they can grow larger, leading to pain and infections. Thankfully, white composite fillings provide an easy, natural-looking fix.

Why Choose White Fillings?

They blend seamlessly with your teeth – no more silver spots!
They’re durable and strong – designed to withstand chewing forces.
They require minimal tooth removal – preserving more of your natural tooth.

How It Works:

Numbing – We ensure you’re comfortable and pain-free.
Cleaning the cavity – The decayed portion is carefully removed.
Applying the filling – A tooth-colored resin is placed, shaped, and hardened with a special light.
Polishing and perfecting – The filling is smoothed to feel just like your natural tooth.

In just one visit, your cavity is gone, and your tooth is strong again!

Fixing Broken Teeth: Crowns, Bridges, and Implants

For teeth that are cracked, broken, or missing, simple fillings won’t be enough. That’s where crowns, bridges, and implants come in to restore function and beauty.

Dental Crowns: The Superhero Cap for Teeth

A dental crown is like a helmet that protects and strengthens a damaged tooth. It covers the entire tooth, restoring its shape and function.

Best for:

Severely decayed or broken teeth
Teeth with large fillings that need extra support
Protecting a tooth after a root canal

How It Works:

Shaping the tooth – We remove the damaged part and shape the tooth for the crown.
Taking an impression – A mold is made to create a custom-fit crown.
Placing a temporary crown – You wear a temporary cap while the final crown is made.
Fitting the permanent crown – Once ready, the permanent crown is cemented in place, making your tooth look and function like new.

Crowns can be made from porcelain, ceramic, or zirconia, giving you a strong and natural smile.

Bridges: Filling the Gap from Missing Teeth

A dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth to the surrounding natural teeth.

Best for:

Replacing one or two missing teeth
Restoring your bite and preventing teeth from shifting

How It Works:

Preparing the adjacent teeth – The teeth next to the missing space are shaped for crowns.
Creating the bridge – A set of artificial teeth is crafted and fused to the crowns.
Securing the bridge – It’s cemented into place, giving you a complete and natural-looking smile.

Bridges restore your ability to chew and speak properly while keeping your teeth aligned.

Dental Implants: The Ultimate Tooth Replacement

For a long-lasting, permanent solution, dental implants are the way to go. They replace missing teeth by anchoring a titanium post into the jawbone, topped with a realistic-looking crown.

Best for:

Permanently replacing one or more missing teeth
Providing a strong and stable bite
Preventing bone loss in the jaw

How It Works:

Placing the implant post – A titanium screw is inserted into the jawbone, acting as an artificial root.
Healing time – The bone integrates with the implant over a few months.
Attaching the crown – A custom-made crown is secured to the implant, looking and functioning like a natural tooth.

Dental implants look, feel, and function just like your real teeth, giving you confidence and comfort!
