    Restorations<\/h2>\n

    Tooth restorations are the various ways your dentist can replace of restore missing teeth or parts of the tooth structure. Tooth structure can be missing due to decay, deterioration of a previously placed restoration or fracture of a tooth. Examples of restorations include the following:<\/p>\n

    Sealants:<\/strong>\u00a0act as a barrier, protecting the tiny grooves in back teeth from decay. Sealants will be checked at your regular dental visit.<\/p>\n

    Fillings:\u00a0<\/strong>are the most common type of dental restoration. Teeth are filled with gold, silver amalgam or tooth-colored plastic and glass materials call composite resin fillings.<\/p>\n

    Crowns:\u00a0<\/strong>are a tooth-shaped “cap” that is placed over a tooth to restore its shape, size, strength or appearance to replace a tooth, hold a bridge or cover a dental implant.<\/p>\n

    Bridges:\u00a0<\/strong>are replacement teeth that are designed to “bridge” the gap created by one or more missing teeth. Bridges can be anchored on either side by crowns and cemented permanently into place.<\/p>\n
