Dental restorative treatments offer a variety of solutions to address different dental concerns:

Aesthetic Fillings (Composite Resin): These tooth-colored fillings are used to repair cavities, cracks, chips, or worn teeth. Composite fillings blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a natural-looking and durable restoration.

Value of Aesthetic Fillings:

• Preserves tooth structure by repairing damage without the need for extraction.
• Prevents further decay and protects the sensitive inner pulp of the tooth.
• Restores functionality, allowing you to chew comfortably.
• Enhances aesthetics by creating a natural-looking and seamless repair.

Pulp Capping: A procedure to preserve the pulp (nerve and blood vessels) of a tooth with a minor infection or inflammation. During pulp capping, the infected portion of the pulp is removed, and a protective material is placed over the remaining healthy pulp tissue, allowing the tooth to heal and remain vital.

Value of Pulp Capping:

• Saves the natural tooth by preserving the vital pulp tissue.
• Eliminates pain and discomfort caused by a minor tooth infection.
• Prevents the need for more extensive and expensive procedures like root canal treatment.
• Maintains the natural strength and functionality of the tooth.

Post and Core: This procedure is necessary when a tooth is severely damaged or fractured below the gum line, leaving insufficient tooth structure for a traditional filling or crown. A post, a small metal or ceramic rod, is placed within the root canal to provide support, and a core material is built up around the post to restore the tooth structure. A crown is then placed on top for complete restoration.

Value of Post and Core:

• Saves a severely damaged tooth that would otherwise require extraction.
• Provides a strong and stable foundation for a dental crown.
• Restores the tooth's functionality and allows for normal chewing.
• Preserves the natural aesthetics of the smile with a crown restoration.
