A filling is a way to restore a tooth damaged by decay or trauma back to its normal function and shape. A filling also helps prevent further decay by closing off any cracks or spaces where bacteria can enter.
Crowns cover and protect a tooth that has had trauma or breakage, or root canal treatment. A bridge is a method to fill the space created by missing teeth that may be used if the missing tooth (teeth) can not be replaced with dental implants.

While implants are typically more expensive than other methods of tooth replacement, they provide superior benefits. Implants are stronger than natural teeth and generally last 10-20 years. They are also a more favorable approach than bridgework since they do not depend on neighboring teeth for support.
