Gone are the days when having a filling meant having a dark spot in your smile. Nowadays, dentists like Dr. King use tooth-colored fillings. Made of composite resin material, these fillings not only match the color of the remaining tooth structure, but they also add strength by bonding directly to your tooth. Plus, composite resin contains no metal, which means that you won’t have to worry about the filling reacting to extreme temperatures.

Dental crowns or caps have long been a dentistry standard for restoring a tooth that is severely damaged by decay or structural injury. This restoration is placed on top of the remaining tooth and allows you to regain its use. Dr. King uses porcelain, a material that is strong and natural looking, to construct the visible portion of the tooth. That way, no one other than you and Dr. King will be able to tell that you ever had damage to begin with.
