These range from conservative procedures such as professional teeth whitening and bonding to more dramatic procedures like porcelain veneers or crowns

Crowns & Bridgework
Dentistry is an art as well as a science; dental crowns offer a perfect example of this

Gummy Smiles
Afterward, the worn-down teeth would usually be restored with porcelain crowns or veneers

Inlays & Onlays
Since dentistry’s goal is to preserve as much of your natural tooth structure as possible, inlays and onlays may be recommended instead of crowns when a tooth can be restored with this more conservative type of treatment

Porcelain Veneers
And if you have lost a lot of tooth structure from decay or trauma (or a particularly severe grinding habit), it might be better to restore your teeth with porcelain crowns that cover the entire tooth

Tooth Wear
Depending on the situation, this can be done with bonding, veneers, or crowns

Cosmetic Gum Surgery
This causes a cosmetic problem because root surfaces, which have no enamel covering, tend to appear more yellow than the crowns of your teeth

Exposed tooth roots can make your teeth look overly “long,” and they also generally appear somewhat darker than your pearly white crowns

Eating Disorders & Oral Health
But the damage can be repaired with various restorative techniques including veneers and/or crowns

It provides painless injections for all routine dental treatments including root canals, crowns, fillings, and cleanings

Digital Dental Impressions

Same-Day Crowns (CAD/CAM)
But these days, there’s a much more convenient alternative: same-day crowns made in the dental office

Top Reasons to Choose Dental Implants
Two, four, or more implants can be used to support multiple crowns, or even an entire arch of upper or lower replacement teeth

Root Canal Retreatment
After you are anesthetized (usually with a numbing shot), any restorations presently on your tooth — crowns, for example — will be altered to provide access to the root canal filling material

Root Canal Treatment
Restorations can take many forms, from traditional gold crowns to tooth replicas made of high-tech tooth-colored material
