Restorative dentistry is the process of covering up or capping a tooth, strengthening or improving its appearance. Crowns are placed for a number reasons:

* Not enough tooth remaining to support a filling
* Attach a bridge
* Protect weak teeth from fracturing
* Restore fractured teeth
* Cover badly shaped or discolored teeth
* Cover a dental implant

Materials used range from gold, porcelain, ceramic or a combination.

Thorough brushing & flossing help remove food particles and plaque from smooth surfaces of teeth. Pits & fissures, however, are places that are extremely difficult to clean. Most cavities form in these pits and fissure areas, and permanent molars are extremely susceptible to this form of decay. Sealants protect these vulnerable areas by “sealing out” plaque and food.

Sealants are easy to apply and it takes only a few minutes to seal each tooth. The teeth to be sealed are cleaned, conditioned and then painted with the sealants. Sealants hold up well under the force of normal chewing and will be checked during regular dental visits.
