Restorative Dentistry

Silver fillings are still used in some cases, but tooth-colored options like composite fillings are more popular for aesthetics.

Recovery after dental implant surgery typically takes a few months, but the initial healing period takes 1-2 weeks.

A temporary filling is used to protect a tooth while waiting for a permanent filling, often after initial treatment or decay removal.

If your crown is chipped, it can compromise its strength and appearance, making replacement or repair necessary.

Expect fitting sessions, adjustments, and a period of adaptation when getting dentures to ensure comfort and proper function.

Minor cracks or breaks in teeth can often be repaired with crowns or bonding without the need for extraction.

Dental bonding may cause temporary tooth sensitivity or discoloration if not maintained properly.

“Crown” and “cap” are often used interchangeably, both referring to a restoration placed over a tooth to restore its function.

The cost of a dental crown varies based on material, complexity, and location, typically ranging from $800 to $1,500 per crown.

Some fillings, especially if new or large, can cause temporary tooth sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods.
