Fillings, Crowns & Bridges in Buford

What Is a Filling?

A tooth filling consists of a hard and durable material that serves as a replacement for tissue and enamel that has been damaged by tooth decay. Over time, plaque and bacteria can attack the outer layer of enamel that protects your teeth from decay. The holes resulting from decay are known as cavities. A tooth filling is the most practical way to fill in these gaps and to protect the structural integrity of your tooth and the health of your bite.

What Is a Dental Crown and What Is a Tooth Bridge?

A tooth crown is used to cover the outer layer of teeth to prevent structural damage that could be caused by biting or chewing. Also known as dental caps, crowns are designed to fit tightly over the tooth and to provide a hard outer shell that offers added protection against damage and pressure.

Dental bridges are designed to fill in the empty spots left by missing teeth. Your tooth bridge will usually consist of a framework or connecting wires and brackets that will hold a single tooth or multiple artificial teeth in place. The dentists at Imagix Dental of Buford will provide you with practical and positive recommendations for the proper type of dental bridge for you.

How Much Will My Filling, Bridge or Tooth Crown Cost?

Concerns about costs can stand in the way of receiving the best treatment for your dental care needs. In most cases, tooth filling cost issues are minimal. Most insurance plans cover the basic filling procedure and amalgam filling materials.

Depending on the type of dental insurance coverage you have, your dental bridge cost may be covered partially or completely. Some dental plans, however, do class this type of procedure as cosmetic. You can be sure that our team of dentists and administrative specialists will work with you to keep your out-of-pocket costs as low as possible.

Dental crown cost issues may arise if you are interested in the most natural look or in a gold crown for your teeth. Our dental team will provide you with accurate estimates that will allow you to plan for these expenses more effectively and will ensure that you achieve the results you want from your dental treatment regimen.

Is There a Selection of Dental Fillings to Pick From?

Our dentists can provide you with fillings designed to suit your aesthetic preferences and your budget. For back teeth, silver amalgam or gold fillings are popular among our patients. Tooth-colored composite and porcelain fillings are an ideal choice for teeth that are visible when you smile or eat. These filling options can help you feel much more confident in your appearance when going about your daily routine.

Crowns to Protect Your Teeth and to Enhance Your Appearance

Crowns for teeth can be fabricated from a range of materials that include ceramic composites, gold and porcelain-metal combinations. These crowns are designed to look natural or to provide a distinctive appearance for your teeth and your smile.

Your Crown or Bridge Application

You will usually need at least two appointments when receiving a bridge or crown from Imagix Dental of Buford.

Once the appliance has been fabricated, you will come in to have your crown or bridge applied.
