RA Dental Care provides comprehensive restorative dentistry services to help you regain a healthy, functional, and beautiful smile. Located at 70-02 Forest Ave, Ridgewood, NY 11385, our practice offers a variety of treatments to restore the function and appearance of your teeth.
Crowns and fillings are essential components of restorative dentistry, designed to repair damaged or decayed teeth. Crowns, also known as caps, cover the entire tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Fillings, on the other hand, are used to fill cavities and restore the tooth's normal function.
Restorative dentistry can help address a variety of dental issues, including:
Repairing decayed or damaged teeth
Replacing missing teeth
Restoring the function of your bite
Improving the appearance of your smile
During the initial visit, our dentist will examine your tooth and take X-rays to assess the extent of the damage. The damaged portion of the tooth is removed, and the tooth is shaped to fit the crown. Impressions of your teeth are taken to create a custom crown that fits perfectly. A temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth until the permanent crown is ready. Finally, the permanent crown is cemented into place, restoring the tooth's function and appearance.
Our dentist will examine the tooth and take X-rays to identify the extent of decay. The decayed portion of the tooth is removed using a dental drill. The cavity is filled with a dental filling material, such as composite resin, amalgam, or porcelain. The filling is shaped to match the natural contours of the tooth and polished for a smooth finish.
