When a tooth is chipped, cracked, or weakened due to decay, the tooth is in a vulnerable position. Any further damage could cause the tooth to fall out. Maiden Lane Dental here in New York, NY offers multiple types of restoration to repair the health of your tooth.
Dental bonding is a long-lasting and popular option. Cracked and chipped teeth can be repaired; and bonding is also the process we use to fill in cavities. Bonding is a tooth-colored composite resin that is bonded to the tooth and smoothed into the proper shape. With good care, bonding can last up to ten years.
Crowns are another option here. When a tooth can no longer hold a filling, but still has a strong tooth root, a crown can be placed like a cap on the tooth. Crowns can be made of gold, porcelain, or porcelain-covered metal. Crowns are durable and can last up to fifteen years.
Inlays and onlays are also available here at Maiden Lane Dental. Inlays and onlays are often referred to as the partial crown. They cover the chewing surface of a tooth, for when there is more damage than a filling could fix, but not enough to need a full crown. Inlays and onlays can last for up to thirty years.
If you are suffering with a painful and irritating weakened tooth, do not hesitate to schedule a consultation here at Maiden Lane Dental. To schedule an appointment in our New York, NY dental practice, call us at (212) 509-4585 or visit our website, www.maidenlanedental.com.
