Repairing Teeth, Restoring Smiles
You probably don't think much about your teeth until something happens to one of them. Maybe you've chipped a front tooth, have an old filling that's starting to give you trouble, or there's a gap in your smile you've been meaning to take care of.
Whatever the reason, Dr. David Painter can help you figure out what to do about it. Depending on what's going on with your teeth, a crown or implant might be a good option. Both can help with the way your teeth look, and they're made to blend in with your natural smile.
Finding the Right Treatment
If you've got a cracked tooth, one that's worn down over the years, or an old filling that keeps giving you trouble, Dr. Painter may recommend a crown.
A crown covers the tooth you already have, giving it added protection and restoring its shape so you can get back to eating and chewing comfortably. It can also improve the appearance of a discolored tooth or one with a large filling that's starting to fail. And because crowns are made to match your surrounding teeth, most people won't even notice you've had dental work done.
But what if you're missing a tooth altogether? A dental implant can fill that gap, help you chew more comfortably, improve your smile's appearance, and keep neighboring teeth from shifting into the space.
