Bonding

Bonding is an effective method for correcting a tooth chip, fracture, gap, or even lengthening a tooth that is too short or has been broken. A vast number of structural issues can be addressed through the process of bonding.


By using composite, tooth-colored resin, the enamel of a tooth can be coated, protected and expanded to create a restorative and/or cosmetically pleasing result. Bonding is also effective when a restoration exceeds the limits of a filling but doesn’t call for a full crown or veneer.  We offer this service to Lewelling Dental Care patients who are seeking a quick and secure smile fix.

Crowns

Crowns are a great way to restore a damaged tooth.  They save the natural tooth structure and avoid the need for extractions.  Crowns are useful in a wide range of situations and are a great way to:



  • ·         Restore broken teeth

  • ·         Support other prosthetics, like bridges

  • ·         Protect a weakened tooth

  • ·         Cover and support large fillings

  • ·         Cover a dental implant


Porcelain crowns are even cosmetically pleasing, blending in with the rest of your smile.  This makes the crown an excellent restorative choice for visible areas of the mouth.  This aesthetic restorative is highly favorable and provides patients with a beautiful, discreet and reliable restoration.  If you are in need of a crown, please contact the office and learn more about how we can help you restore your smile.
