Frequently asked questions
Do I need a filling or a crown?
That depends on the size and position of the damaged area and the remaining tooth structure. The dentist needs to examine the tooth before recommending an option.
How long do dental restorations last?
Longevity varies with the material, tooth position, bite, oral hygiene, and habits. Regular reviews help identify wear or problems early.
