Crown Method (Restorations)

For moderate to severe cavities, the crown method is used. We provide various materials, including insurance-covered metal (silver crowns) and ceramic materials that closely match the natural color of teeth.

More on Crown Materials

Please note that if the cavity has reached the dental pulp (nerve), root canal treatment (nerve treatment) must be completed first. Immediate filling or crowns is not possible in such cases.

Root Canal Treatment (Endodontic Therapy)

When a cavity infects the nerve of the tooth (pulp), treatment to address the nerve (pulpectomy) is necessary. This procedure, which involves removing the infected nerve, is known as root canal treatment (endodontic therapy).
At our clinic, we place a strong emphasis on root canal treatment. The key to successful root canal treatment is how thoroughly remove and disinfect the infection source inside the root canal and then seal it completely. We use the following materials, tools, and techniques to adhere to the fundamental principles of root canal treatment.
