Fillings refer to the treatment performed by the dentist to restore your tooth as a result of decay or other damage. White fillings (also called composites and resin filings) are performed using a resin material that is colored to blend right into the tooth, rendering the filling virtually invisible. Current composite fillings are long lasting because the material actually bonds to the tooth enamel to help prevent breaking and insulate from temperature changes. The current materials strengthen the teeth and reduces the risk of fractures that can result from the expansion and contraction properties of amalgam. And, because the resin material actually bonds to your teeth, resin fillings allow the dentist to preserve more of your natural tooth structure than with amalgam fillings which extends the longevity of your teeth.
Dental inlays and onlays repair moderately decayed rear teeth, and they can also be used to fractured or cracked teeth that are not damaged enough to necessitate a crown. Made from tooth-colored material, inlays and onlays can repair a tooth with natural-looking results.

A dental crown offers a permanent remedy to improve the appearance and health of a damaged tooth. They look and feel like a natural tooth, and provide comfort and stability for a long time to come.

Dental bridges are designed to restore missing teeth by literally bridging the adjacent teeth with an artificial replacement tooth. Bridges have been an effective tool in dentistry for many years, and are known for their successful results.

Partial dentures provide effective relief for patients who have missing teeth, but may not have the desire for complete dentures or dental implants. They are held in place by your remaining teeth and gums, and with a plastic and metal structure that connects them. Partial dentures look like your natural teeth and are comprised of strong and comfortable material.
Metal, or amalgam, fillings have been a common treatment for restoring teeth for decades; however, there is now a more aesthetically pleasing alternative. White (composite) fillings are tooth-colored and blend in with your natural teeth. They are also very durable and free of mercury.
