Restoration Fillings Fillings treat cavities; when a tooth has decay, Dr. Wilcox will remove the decay and "fill" the area that the decay once lived. Fillings are made of composite material that is tooth-colored. Fillings can also be used to repair chipped or broken teeth, as well as teeth worn from misuse such as grinding. 
Bridges There are a variety of different bridges. Consulting with the dentist is necessary for deciding which option fits your particular circumstance. The most commonly used bridge is the porcelain fixed bridge, because it resembles your natural teeth. This type of bridge consists of two different crowns that are placed on two anchoring teeth (abutment teeth). The crowns are attached to the pontics (artificial teeth), that fill the gap created by one or more missing teeth.

Crowns Crowns A crown (or cap) is a covering that encases the entire tooth surface, restoring it to its original shape and size. A crown protects and strengthens tooth structure that cannot be restored with fillings or other types of restorations. 
Root Canals Root canal therapy becomes necessary when the inner nerve of a tooth becomes affected by decay or infection. When this happens, the tooth may become extremely sensitive to both pressure and temperature, and intense pain can be expected. In the initial stages of decay and infection, it is possible that no symptoms would be present. However, in the advanced stages of decay and infection an abscess (pimple-like inflammation on the gums) will form. After a root canal is performed, a crown will be needed.
