Crowns
A crown or cap is a restoration that covers, or caps, a tooth to restore it to its normal shape and size. Its purpose is to strengthen or improve the appearance of a tooth. A crown is placed for a number of reasons:
- to support a large filling when there isn’t enough tooth remaining
- to support a large filling when there isn’t enough tooth remaining
- to attach a bridge• to protect weak teeth from fracturing
- to restore fractured teeth
- to cover badly shaped or discolored teeth
Root Canals
Root canal (endodontic) therapy treats disorders of the nerve (pulp) of the tooth. In the past, a tooth with a diseased or infected nerve had to be removed. However in 95 percent of these cases today, this is no longer true. We believe in saving teeth (instead of removing them) and we will make every effort to save yours!
