Would you like to improve your smile? Dr. Rhonda F. Company, Dr. Andrea M. Company, Dr. John W. Patt and Dr. Marilyn Marks-Davis, 
your family dentists in Canton, OH, provide information on a few dental procedures that can help you.
Crowns
Crowns not only restore teeth but also improve their appearance. Porcelain-fused-to-metal, ceramic, resin or other tough materials are used to create the hollow, tooth-shaped shells. Before you receive your crown, your dentist reduces the size of your tooth to ensure that your crown fits into the space perfectly. Crowns are used to lengthen teeth, hide imperfections and discolorations, stabilize fragile teeth or restore broken or damaged teeth.
Bridges
Crowns anchor one or more artificial teeth called pontics in a dental bridge. Bridges offer an excellent way to replace missing teeth and restore your ability to chew normally. Although bridges are made of tough materials, including porcelain and porcelain-fused-to-metal, they do eventually become worn and may need to be replaced about every 10 to 15 years.
Bonding
Composite resin, a flexible, putty-like material available in a variety of tooth-colored shades, is often used to repair teeth and improve their appearance. After the material is added to your teeth, it's hardened with a special curing light.
Veneers
Veneers offer an excellent way to whiten your entire smile, but can also be used to hide a single discolored tooth, cover slight gaps in your smile, lengthen a tooth slightly or conceal chips and other imperfections. Veneers are applied to the fronts of your teeth only and offer a simple solution to many cosmetic problems.
No matter what the issue, there's a dental procedure that can improve your smile. Call your family dentists in Canton, OH at (330) 455-0706 to schedule your appointment.
