Composites are fillings designed to match the color of your teeth. Because they blend so well with your tooth enamel, composites are used where dental work could be most visible including the front teeth and at the gumlines.

Crowns
When a tooth is severely damaged by decay, fractured, or has a large old filling; it may require a crown (cap). Crowns strengthen and protect the remaining tooth structure and can improve the appearance of your smile. Types of crowns include the full porcelain crown, the porcelain-fused-to-metal crown and the all-metal crown.

Bridgework
If you have a missing tooth a bridge or denture can be made to fill the gap. Bridgework works like a series of connected crowns, replacing missing teeth by bridging the gap and using the surrounding teeth as abutments.
