Fillings are the traditional dental restorative procedure, used to repair minimal tooth fractures, tooth decay, or damaged surfaces. In the past, most fillings were mainly made of metals (gold, amalgams) but with advances in restorative dentistry, newer dental materials include composites (modified glass ionomer cements, etc.) giving teeth a natural look.
A crown is a tooth-shaped "cap" used to restore the natural anatomy and preserve the functionality of damaged teeth. The purpose of a dental crown is to protect the remaining tooth structure from further destruction.
This is similar to a filling that fits within the anatomical contours of the tooth. An inlay is larger than a filling while being smaller than a crown. The difference between an inlay and a filling is that an inlay lies within the cusps on the chewing portion of the tooth and cemented into place.
A Laminate veneer is a cemented covering placed no the facial surface of a tooth and is used to mask discolored, damaged or misaligned teeth.
A fixed, partial denture which is permanently attached (cemented) to remaining teeth, replacing one or more missing teeth.
A roor canal treatment is an endodontic therapy where the affected nerve bundle is removed, the canals are shaped, disinfected and filled. A crown is generally recommended following a root canal treatment to protect the tooth from fracturing. Root canal treatment procedure requires one or more visits depending on the complexity of the tooth anatomy. Following the completion of an endodontic root canal treatment, fracture and loss of the root canal - filled tooth due to brittleness, may be more likely to occur unless the tooth is restored within a month following the completion of the endodontic therapy.
