Fillings, Crowns & Bridges in Miami

What's the Purpose of a Tooth Filling?

A tooth filling is used to repair a tooth that has been damaged by trauma or disease, so it may no longer be functional. A filling can save the tooth rather than having to remove it and may be a simpler remedy than a tooth bridge or a tooth crown.

What's the Purpose of Dental Crowns for Teeth and Tooth Bridges?

Tooth crowns and tooth bridges are used to repair teeth that are damaged, whether from heredity, trauma, or disease. A crown is for one tooth, a bridge is for more than one tooth. Call us today to learn more.

Do I Need a Special Dentist to Complete Fillings, Crowns or Bridges?

All of our dentists in Miami can install fillings, crowns and bridges. They may occasionally refer out to specialty dentists, but most dental work can be done in our office. 

Do These Dental Services Cost a Lot?

While we are unable to give you an estimate of the tooth filling cost, the dental bridge cost or the dental crown cost, without seeing you, we can tell you the cost depends on multiple factors. Those factors may include materials chosen, treatments required, and the severity of your case. Call us today in Miami for more accurate pricing for your situation.

What Are the Different Types of Fillings?

Dental fillings are available in four types: amalgam, composite, porcelain, and gold. Each type of filling has benefits and your dentist in Miami will help you decide which is best for your situation. Not all fillings are appropriate for all teeth.

Are Different Types of Crowns Available?

Dental crowns are available in four types, ceramic crowns, porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns, base metal alloy crowns and gold alloy crowns. Each type of crown has benefits and your dentist will help you determine which type is best for your unique needs. Call our dental office in Miami to schedule an appointment.

Are Different Types of Dental Bridges Available?

If you need a dental bridge, you have three options: traditional bridge, a cantilever bridge and an implant-supported bridge. Not all types of tooth bridges are suitable for all teeth but your dentist will help you determine your best options. Contact our office in Miami to make an appointment.

Is the Dental Crown Procedure Extensive?

You'll need at least two office visits for installation of your dental crown. On the first visit, we'll prepare your tooth or teeth for installation of the crown. We'll take measurements and impressions, then we'll install a temporary crown. On the second visit, we'll remove the temporary tooth crown and then install the permanent crown, which we'll adjust for optimum comfort. Call our office in Miami if you need to schedule an appointment for a dental crown procedure.

Is the Tooth Bridge Installation Procedure Extensive?

The procedure for installing tooth bridges is very similar to that of a dental crown installation. The primary difference is the dental appliance that's to be installed. If you need dental caps or a dental crown, call our office in Miami and we'll be happy to help you. Don't risk your beautiful smile, call us today.
