Fillings
Brushing and flossing can go a long way in keeping your teeth healthy, but cavities can strike at any time. Dr. Kim will remove the cavity from your tooth comfortably and replace the space with a composite filling to solve this issue.
Composite fillings are natural white fillings that we can match to your tooth color. Because they look like real tooth material, the days of silver amalgam fillings everyone can see in your mouth are gone. Plus, composite fillings are more durable and last longer, making them a significant improvement upon the past.
Crowns and Bridges
If a filling can’t do the job, we will recommend either a crown or bridge for your situation. A crown acts as a protective cap over a damaged tooth, while a bridge is a false tooth with connectors on either side that attach to adjoining teeth.
Whichever solution is best, Dr. Kim will carefully select the material, shape, size, and color of crown or bridge for your needs and meticulously place it to restore your tooth’s shape and function. You will be back to having a full set of teeth in no time!
Root Canal Therapy
A root canal may sound like a nightmare, but at Forest Dental Cafe, we make the process painless and straightforward. A patient needs root canal therapy when a tooth’s cavity has spread to the pulp or inner material of the tooth. Because this type of cavity can be pretty painful, it’s a good idea to get it treated as soon as possible.
During a root canal, Dr. Kim will remove the infected pulp from your tooth using advanced technology for improved accuracy. That way, he only removes what is truly necessary and leaves your tooth feeling fresh and new.
Extraction
Sometimes it’s not possible to save a tooth, and it must come out. Tooth extraction may be necessary due to an accident, advanced tooth decay, wisdom tooth removal, or to make space for other teeth to grow and align properly.
We will make the extraction process comfortable for you with our painless numbing system, so you don’t have to worry about a thing. After extracting the tooth carefully, we can provide you with an implant or bridge to replace the missing tooth. Not only will your new tooth be pain-free, but it will also look great, too!
