FILLINGS AND CROWNS

Fillings

If you have minor tooth damage such as chipped teeth, cracked or broken teeth, decayed teeth, or worn teeth, Palisades Dental recommends composite fillings (also known as white fillings). Composite fillings are aesthetically appealing compared to silver fillings as they match the natural teeth color and are almost invisible to differentiate.

During your visit, the damaged portion of your tooth will be removed and the tooth will be cleaned thoroughly. It will then be filled with composite resin material that bonds to the tooth to ensure a tight seal. Composite fillings can help restore not only the functionality of your teeth but also the beauty of your smile. Call Palisades Dental and discuss the best option for restoring you teeth with our dentist.

Porcelain Crowns

A crown, also known as cap, is a covering that is placed on the teeth that have lost lot of their structure. There are many reasons for getting crowns. Some of them include broken or fractured teeth, decayed teeth, fractured fillings, large fillings, tooth has a root canal as well as cosmetic enhancement. There are many different types of crowns available, from full porcelain to full metal crowns. Each one has its own advantages and disadvantages. But porcelain crowns are the most popular because they imitate natural teeth.

Crowns are created to match the color, texture, height and overall appearance of your teeth. Most crowns last a long period of time but like any dental procedure they may need to be replaced. You can prolong the durability of crowns by visiting your dentist for regular cleaning and check-ups and practicing proper oral hygiene.
