What is this treatment?

A filling replaces a smaller area of damaged tooth.


A crown covers and protects most of a weak tooth.


A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth and is supported by teeth or implants next to the space.

Your comfort matters

We numb the area when needed and check your comfort during treatment.


Tell us if you feel pressure, sensitivity, or need a break.

Numbness may last for a few hours.


Mild sensitivity can happen after a filling or crown.

You may be wondering...

How do I know if I need a filling or crown?

A filling works for smaller areas. A crown is often used when much of the tooth is weak, cracked, or already filled.


Will a crown look natural?

Crowns can be made to match nearby teeth. We choose the shape and shade with your smile in mind.


What if my bite feels high?

Call us. A small adjustment can prevent the tooth from becoming sore.


How long do fillings and crowns last?

No restoration lasts forever. Daily cleaning, regular checkups, bite forces, and the size of the repair all affect how long it lasts.


How do I clean a bridge?

Brush normally and clean under the false tooth with a floss threader, small brush, or water flosser.
