Dental Crowns
When a tooth experiences trauma or decay and needs a restoration to hold the structure together, Dr. Patet will likely recommend a customized dental crown. Also referred to as a cap, this small, artificial tooth fits over the existing structure to create a complete smile while offering maximum protection against reinfection and further damage. With optimal maintenance, dental crowns are known to last 10-15 years.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Instead of giving in to traditional amalgam fillings, we use tooth-colored composite resin, which is color-matched to your existing tooth shade. When a cavity forms, we can go in and clear out any decayed areas before providing a tooth-colored filling that will not only offer a tight seal against reinfection but also keep your dental work strictly between you and Dr. Patet.
