In many cases, your smile can be repaired in as little as one visit! Call us today if you are suffering from any kind of dental damage to discuss restorative dentistry in Barton City, MI.

Dental Crowns
A dental crown is an extremely versatile restoration that can be placed on top of a tooth for various reasons. It might be to protect and hold together a tooth that has already become weakened, or it could restore the shape and size of the dental structure if a large amount of enamel has broken off. Crowns can be made out of many different materials. If you’re worried about other people noticing that you’ve had dental work done, we’ll generally recommend a porcelain crown, which can be carefully shaded so that it matches the color of the surrounding teeth.

Tooth-Colored Fillings
Fillings are generally used to repair smaller cavities and minor dental injuries. They also protect the pulp inside the tooth from becoming infected. Today, fillings do not necessarily have to be made of metal. In fact, dentists across the country typically prefer tooth-colored fillings for a variety of reasons. There are the obvious aesthetic advantages from using material that blends in with the rest of the tooth. That said, there are practical benefits as well. For example, tooth-colored fillings allow us to preserve more of the natural tooth since they don’t require the same undercuts to hold them in place like metal fillings do.
