When teeth are weakened or injured, they can be painful and can make eating difficult. Not to mention they affect the look of a smile. At Alta Loma Dental Care, we have multiple options for tooth restoration here in our Alta Loma, CA dental practice.
Dental inlays and onlays are great for when there is a small amount of damage to the chewing surface of a tooth. Inlays repair the chewing surface in between the four cusps of a tooth. Onlays repair the chewing area plus one or more cusp. Inlays and onlays are often referred to as partial crowns because they are the same concept, but they are for when the tooth is sustaining less damage.
Full dental crowns are also available in our Alta Loma, CA office. These are caps that go on the tooth to replace the whole upper and outer portion of the tooth. Crowns are for when teeth are damaged or decayed, but still have a healthy tooth root.
Dental bonding is available to fix cracks, chips, and decay. It is a composite resin that is tooth colored so it blends in with the natural tooth. It is shaped and smoothed over the problem and hardened for durability.
If you have weakened teeth it is time to bring them back to their former strength so they can last for a long time. To find out more or to schedule an appointment, call Alta Loma Dental Care of Alta Loma, CA at (909) 987-6268 or visit our website, www.altalomadentalcare.com.
