  • Fillings:
    • Fillings are usually the first and simple process to rebuild tooth structure lost due to decay.  Here the decayed part of tooth is removed and replace with one of the several materials such as Silver amalgam, Composites (tooth colored), Gold.
  • Crowns (caps): 
    • In those instances where too much tooth structure is lost to decay and tooth can not be filled using filling, a crown may be necessary to restore tooth to it's functional state.  Crowns are also necessary after a tooth has been treated with root canal therapy.  All teeth that need a crown do not need to have a root canal therapy.
  • Root Canal Therapy: 
    • Just like any part of our body, teeth are supplied with nerves for sensation of temporature, pain.  In some cases this nerve tissue may becomes diseased due to deep cavity or trauma to the tooth.  The dead or dying nerve tissue  has to be removed to avoid infection and/or pain and swelling.  This process of removing nerve tissue is known as root canal therapy.  A root canal treated tooth can remain and functions like any other tooth for many years even for life time.  All teeth that have had root canal treatment should be protected with crowns.
  • Bridges and Dentures: 
    • Fixed Bridge: Also known as fixed denture.  Generally covers a span of one or more missing teeth. Teeth on either side of the gap are used to as bridge abutmant (Support) and are serve as anchors
    • Removable Dentures: A removable denture replaces one or more missing teeth.  It could be full denture, in this case all the missing teeth in a particular jaw are replaced with artificial teeth.  A  removable partial denture has only some teeth are missing or removed and replaced with a partial denture that is supported by some of the remaining natural teeth.
