When teeth experience damage, decay, or loss, modern dental restorations step in to rebuild both the strength and beauty of your smile. Depending on your unique needs, restorative treatments range from simple conservative fixes to advanced structural replacements. For minor decay, tooth-colored composite fillings seamlessly repair small cavities. If a tooth has sustained more significant structural damage, a custom-fitted porcelain or gold ( cap) is placed over it to protect it from fracturing. When replacing missing teeth, options expand to specialized restorations such as implants, bridges and dentures.
