Pediatric Fillings And Crowns in Virginia Beach

What Are Dental Fillings?

Fillings are most commonly used to repair teeth that have been damaged by decay. Bacteria and plaque can attack the enamel of teeth and can cause cavities. Your dentist will typically remove all areas of tissue and enamel that have been affected by decay before applying a tooth filling to fill in the empty space left behind. This can provide added stability for your tooth and can prevent further infections and decay from occurring in the same spot.

What Is a Dental Crown?

Crowns for teeth are designed to fit over a damaged or discolored tooth to provide added structural support. Dental caps are a type of crown that are designed primarily to improve the appearance of the teeth and to promote an even and attractive smile. The dentists at Konikoff Pediatric Dentistry have the experience and the knowledge needed to provide you with the right crowns for your needs.

• Because fillings are usually covered by dental insurance completely or in part, your tooth filling cost is likely to be very affordable. We will let you know how different materials will affect the cost of your care.
• Dental crown cost issues are somewhat more common. Our dentists can offer some lower-cost options for managing your expenses for these dental treatment options.

What Tooth Filling Types Can You Choose From?

Your dental filling may be made of a composite material that matches the appearance of your natural teeth. Konikoff Pediatric Dentistry can also provide gold fillings, porcelain fillings and silver amalgam options that can help you feel more confident and comfortable about the appearance and the functionality of your teeth.

Tooth Crown Materials

You can select from a few options when choosing the materials for your dental crown. Gold alloy crowns offer a good balance between durability and attractive appearance. For teeth that are easily visible, we recommend porcelain fused with metal or ceramic crowns to create the most natural look possible.

What to Expect When Getting a Tooth Crown

You will need several appointments to prepare your teeth for a crown and to place these dental appliances permanently into your mouth. We will provide you with a detailed treatment plan that explains the services we will perform and the timeline for your new bridge or crown.
