A dental crown is a restorative treatment to prevent decay from spreading or to repair a damaged tooth. Dental crowns restore function and smile aesthetics. In some cases, you'll receive a temporary crown first until Dr. Ari Binder can place a permanent one.

Your permanent teeth are supposed to stay intact your whole life. However, there are certain conditions that may make a tooth extraction necessary. Some of the common reasons for a tooth extraction include tooth fracture, loosening of the teeth due to periodontal disease (serious gum infection), severe tooth decay, and third molar impaction (when a wisdom tooth fails to grow in a functional position).

Dental implants feel and look like your natural teeth—which makes them superior to other teeth replacement options, such as dentures and dental bridges.

A root canal therapy is a restorative dental procedure that involves the removal of the injured or infected pulp (the soft, inner part of the tooth), disinfecting and filling the area with medication, and placing a dental crown over the tooth for protection.

Dental implants are a highly advanced dental solution for missing teeth. Each dental implant is a bio-grade metal post which is surgically implanted in place of the previous tooth.
