Crowns are used to restore teeth that have undergone extensive decay, fractures, large fillings, or root canal therapy. They provide strength and protection to the remaining tooth structure. They serve both functional and aesthetic purposes. They restore the tooth's ability to chew properly, maintain alignment with adjacent teeth, and prevent further damage or decay. They also improve the appearance of the tooth by covering visible imperfections.
A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth by spanning the gap between two natural teeth or dental implants. It consists of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) that are held in place by dental crowns or abutments on either side of the gap. They are a durable and effective solution for replacing missing teeth, restoring dental function, and enhancing the appearance of a smile. They are custom-designed to fit the unique needs and preferences of each patient, providing a natural-looking and functional result.
Dental fillings are a common and effective treatment provided by general dentists to restore teeth affected by decay or minor damage, allowing patients to retain their natural teeth and maintain optimal oral health. Dr. Billue uses composite material to complete her filligs! This is a tooth colored material that allows her to correct affected areas and maintain the aesthetics of your teeth!
When the roots of a tooth become infected, root canal therapy is needed. Symptoms of infected roots include painful toothache, sensitivity to hot or cold food and beverages, and/or grayish discoloration. During the process of root canal therapy, the pulp of the tooth is cleaned out and the canal is disinfected and filled with a sealing material to keep bacteria from re-entering the area.
