Crowns - Crowns look just like regular teeth and no one but you and your dentist will know which tooth is yours and which one is a cap. The tooth under the crown is reduced in size, over which the crown will be permanently cemented. While the permanent crown is being fabricated your dentist will give you a temporary one to wear. Crowns have a much longer life span than bonding, resist stains better, hold their color and resist chipping and cracking. Crowns do take longer to prepare than bonding and are not reversible. Fillings - One of the most frequently used dental restorations for repairing cavities is called a filling. There are two basic types of filings, silver fillings that consist of a mixture of different types of metal and tooth colored fillings. How and where these fillings are applied varies with the need of the person. Dental decay can occur on the smooth areas of the teeth as well as the biting surface. The location of the cavity plays an important role in what type of filling will be used to repair it.
