Dental Crowns
Crowns are lifelike caps for your damaged teeth that are crafted by your dentist that protect and restore their appearance and function. Crowns are regularly suggested by family dentistry experts to repair chipped or broken teeth. As a result, crowns are now one of the most common restorative dental procedures performed today.

Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin, porcelain coverings that are fastened to chipped or damaged teeth to restore their natural, healthy appearance. Veneers are a very popular choice because many patients feel they provide the most attractive and natural results. Veneers may last up to 30 years with proper care, so frequent replacement procedures will not be necessary. Porcelain veneers may boast a higher price tag than some other dental procedures, but many satisfied customers seem to indicate they are worth it.

Dental Implants
A crack in a tooth that extends into the gum line can only be repaired by extracting the damaged tooth. After the extraction, a dental implant can be installed to replace your damaged natural tooth. In this procedure a natural-looking fabricated tooth is installed into the gum and jaw. Not everyone can have implants immediately. Some patients require bone grafts to make the jawbone tissue strong enough to support an implant. Dental implants are also costly but it is the longest lasting and most natural solution to a damaged tooth.
