Tooth DamageA tooth may need treatment due to a cavity, a fracture, or a combination of the two. The severity and extent of the damage determines how best to restore it. | FillingsIf the tooth damage is noted early in the process and is slight, it can often be repaired with filling material. In the past, a dark colored metal based material was utilized. Today, repair is made with a tooth colored composite acrylic material which is bonded to the tooth with adhesive. This material offers better esthetics and allows for less tooth removal. | CrownWhen tooth damage is moderate to severe it is often necessary to add more structural support than a filling can provide in order to prevent even greater future damage. | Crown MaterialsToday there are three common varieties of crowns; all ceramic, all metal. or a combination of the two materials. The main factors for consideration in material choice are strength and esthetics. |

Root CanalOccasionally a tooth will have deeper damage which then involves its nerve. This can be due to decay, fracture, or chronic stress to the tooth. Because a tooth nerve cannot be repaired, the nerve is removed from the root and the tooth is preserved. In most cases, the tooth will then require the extra structural protection of a crown. |
