Crowns and Fillings
Restoring Your Smile, Protecting Your Teeth
At Drs. Heringhaus, we believe in providing dental solutions that not only repair damaged teeth but also restore confidence in your smile. Crowns and fillings are two of the most effective ways to repair teeth and prevent further issues. Whether you’re dealing with a cavity, a cracked tooth, or severe decay, our expert team is here to help.
Why choose fillings and crowns?
- Protect Damaged Teeth: Crowns and fillings help stop decay or damage from getting worse, protecting the tooth structure.
- Restore Function: These treatments bring back the natural look and function of your teeth, so you can eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
- Long-Term Solutions: Modern materials ensure that crowns and fillings are durable, long-lasting, and blend naturally with your teeth.
What are dental fillings?
Fillings are used to treat cavities caused by tooth decay, restoring the tooth’s function and appearance.
- How They Work: After the decayed portion of the tooth is removed, we fill the area with a safe, durable material that seals and strengthens the tooth.
- Materials: We offer natural-looking composite fillings that match your tooth color for a seamless look.
- Fast & Effective: Fillings are a quick, minimally invasive procedure, perfect for treating small to medium-sized cavities.
What are dental crowns?
Dental crowns are custom-made caps that fully cover a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its shape, size, and strength.
- When Are They Needed? Crowns are ideal for teeth that have large fillings, fractures, severe decay, or after a root canal.
- Custom Fit: Each crown is crafted to match your natural teeth for a flawless appearance.
- Durable Materials: We use high-quality porcelain, ceramic, or metal alloys to ensure your crown lasts for years.
