What if I Do Nothing?

After a tooth has developed a cavity or been chipped/cracked, it actually can’t heal itself. This is something that makes enamel unique compared to every other part of your body, and it’s also why ignoring small dental problems is guaranteed to lead to bigger ones down the line. Decay spreads, weakened teeth only become weaker, and the ultimate result is usually tooth loss! Fortunately, repairing even a severely damaged tooth is relatively simple here at Ultimate Dental.

CEREC® One-Visit Crowns

Dental crowns are used to repair large cavities and severely broken teeth, and in the past, a patient would have to schedule at least two dental appointments to get one. Most people don’t even have time for a single visit these days, let alone two! Thanks to CEREC technology, we’re now able to design, fabricate, and place a completely custom-made dental crown in just one appointment, helping patients get what they need and back to their lives as fast as possible.

Tooth-Colored Fillings

Many people prefer composite resin tooth-colored fillings over the traditional amalgam fillings for a number of reasons. For one thing, they look completely natural, making them far and away a more cosmetically appealing choice for your smile. When you’ve had amalgam dental fillings placed, you’ll see dark spots from the metallic look of the fillings. A second reason is that composite resin tooth-colored fillings contain no mercury whatsoever. Amalgam fillings contain some mercury; it hasn’t been proven harmful, but people generally prefer not to have mercury in their teeth if they can avoid it. At Ultimate Dental believes in putting health first, and that’s one of the reasons we offer our patients composite resin tooth-colored fillings at our Brownstown dental office.
