Repairing Smiles with
Metal-Free Solutions

Dental Crowns
When a tooth requires protection from future decay and damage, dentists often turn to dental crowns. Commonly referred to as caps, these custom restorations can be made using EMAX, zirconia, or porcelain and are designed to match the size, shape, and shade of existing teeth. Fitting over the tops of visible teeth, dental crowns help to protect and strengthen the underlying enamel.

Tooth-Colored Fillings
Tooth-colored fillings are made up of composite resin, which is a mixture of plastic (acrylic) and powdered glass. Created to match the shade of regular tooth enamel, these fillings do not expand when exposed to hot or cold temperatures, which often leads to damage with traditional metal fillings. The composite resin is highly flexible, so it fills in the treated area while minimal tooth structure needs to be removed.
Full Mouth Reconstruction
When all or most of your teeth are missing or damaged, a full mouth reconstruction can restore a functional, attractive smile using two or more procedures such as dental implants, veneers, bonding, and crowns. For complex surgical reconstruction, Drs. Lee and Hachem often collaborate to ensure a seamless experience with outstanding results. A consultation can determine the best techniques for your full mouth reconstruction.
CEREC Same-Day Dental Crowns
If you have ever received a crown in the past, you might remember a somewhat lengthy process that required multiple dental appointments. Today, a more efficient method is available. Our office features CEREC technology, which allows us to design and fabricate top-quality restorations right here in our office. Because there is no need for us to coordinate with an outside dental lab, we are often able to provide crowns in a matter of mere hours.
