Unfortunately, when a tooth begins to decay you may need a filling. Once we remove the decay in your tooth, we would need to fill it with a filling material. At Your Dentist in Thame, we use the highest quality of tooth coloured filling materials that seamlessly blend in with your natural tooth, so that no one would know you have a filling when you smile or laugh.
A dental crown/onlay is a cap that is placed over a damaged tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and improve its appearance. It's like a protective cover that encases the visible part of the tooth above the gum line, helping to strengthen and support the tooth while also enhancing its functionality and aesthetics. At Your Dentist in Thame we would advise you on what material of crown is best to serve you.
