After removing the decay that can cause infection or intense pain, the tooth will be filled with a strong tooth colored or silver filling before the cavity gets bigger.
Crowns
If the decay is too large or root canal therapy has been completed, a crown is the best treatment to protect your tooth. A crown is custom made to help maintain the integrity of your bite while providing you a natural smile.
Bridges
To prevent teeth from shifting after teeth have been removed, a bridge can be attached to fill spaces in your mouth and provide you with a healthy, natural bite.
Full and Partial Dentures
If you are missing several teeth, you may be a candidate for a denture or partial denture. Impressions and fittings can be done to provide custom dentures and partial dentures.
Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy is required when the center of the tooth called the pulp has been irritated by trauma or decay.
Extractions
Pulling of a tooth that is cracked or badly decayed could be the best option for relief.
