Composite Bonding

Bonding is a composite resin material that can lighten stains, close up minor gaps, correct crooked teeth. and restore fractured or decayed teeth. Bonded fillings are used for smaller more conservative restorations and they are relatively cost effective compared to using porcelain materials. Silver/mercury fillings are thought to expand over time, cracking teeth and causing the need for more extensive dentistry such as crowns (caps) and even causing the need for root canals. On the other hand, bonding is an adhesive technique, and when used, the restoration chemically adheres to tooth structure strengthening it. Bonding material can be applied to sculpt, color and shape the tooth. Then a high-intensity light hardens the resin, and the tooth is finely polished; creating a natural looking, gorgeous smile.

Inlays and Onlays

Bonded fillings that are used to restore small areas of decay where great strength is not required and the tooth is able to withstand the forces of chewing. With larger areas of decay, and where only thin areas of tooth are present, increased hardness and strength of the restorative material is necessary. Inlays and onlays are milled in the office from a solid block of porcelain. There are no impressions or temporaries required, as the restoration is designed digitally on our state-of-the-art CEREC computer. You receive your final restoration in one appointment. It is permanently bonded to match the natural tooth color. Inlays and onlays are much more conservative procedures than crowns (caps), as they require significantly less tooth preparation, they leave the healthy part of your enamel untouched. Inlays and onlays are the perfect solution to creating healthy, beautiful, conservative, and long lasting restorations for you teeth.

Crowns

If you have a tooth that has fractured, has a large cavity with old metal filling that has failed or has had root canal therapy, your tooth can be restored with a porcelain crown, also called a cap is a custom made restoration that completely covers the tooth, restoring and protecting it. Crowns can also be used for cosmetic purposes, enhancing the appearance of a tooth that is discolored of misshapen.
