Restorative Dentistry Durham
Preserve & Strengthen Damaged Teeth
Restorative dentistry in Durham involves managing and supporting teeth that have been affected by dental diseases, like periodontitis, as well as other common oral health issues like tooth infections. In fact, if you’ve ever had a cavity, a dentist has likely rebuilt the decayed structure of your tooth with a tooth-colored filling. Dr. Ulloa offers natural-looking dental crowns and fillings to protect and preserve your natural teeth that have been compromised, helping to keep you from experiencing tooth loss.

Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are cap-like restorations that are designed to fit over the visible surface of a tooth (the part that lies just above the gumline). Dr. Ulloa crafts them from very durable materials that closely resemble natural teeth, like zirconia, porcelain, and Emax. They’re typically used to help protect teeth that have been treated with root canals or large dental fillings in the past, keeping them from becoming reinfected or further damaged.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Cavities are one of the most common dental health concerns in the entire world. In fact, most people will have at least one cavity at some point in their lifetime. Fortunately, tooth-colored fillings can restore the damage caused by decay as well as seal off your tooth to guard it from the threat of future infection. Composite resin can be color-matched to your tooth enamel, ensuring that your filling won’t be noticeable whenever you smile, speak, or laugh.
