When your dentist evaluates your tooth, they are looking to determine what kind of treatment is called for to properly restore it. If the decay is only damaging your enamel, you can require a dental filling to support your tooth. Fillings are made from composite resin, bond with your tooth, and provide lasting support. If decay has led to an infection in the interior of your tooth, your dentist can provide a root canal treatment. This will protect you from the serious harm that can occur when an internal infection develops. Dental crowns are used to cover teeth after root canals, as well as in any other situation where a filling is not enough protection.
Dental fillings and dental crowns are made with life-like materials, so they avoid leaving you with unattractive or unsightly restorations. While these restorations are regarded highly because of their durability, you can count on them for great support.
