Understanding the differences between dental crowns and fillings is essential for effective tooth restoration. Both options serve the purpose of repairing damaged or decayed teeth, but they are suited for different circumstances. At DiBona Dental Group, located at 1 Wayside Drive in Exeter, NH, our skilled team, including Dr. Elizabeth DiBona, Dr. Nicholas Koren, Dr. Jacqueline Bonci, Dr. Kateryna Latypova, Dr. Gregory Bonci, and Dr. Mark DiBona, is dedicated to ensuring that every patient receives personalized care tailored to their unique dental needs.

Fillings are typically used for smaller cavities where a tooth has been slightly damaged. They restore the function and integrity of a tooth after decay has been removed. In contrast, dental crowns are necessary when a tooth is more extensively damaged, providing a protective cap that covers the entire tooth structure. Here are some indications for when you might need each:

• Fillings: Suitable for small to moderate cavities where structural integrity is minimally compromised. They are less invasive and often completed in a single visit.
• Crowns: Ideal for teeth with significant decay, cracks, or fractures. Crowns also help stabilize a tooth that has undergone root canal treatment. They require more time for placement and may involve multiple visits.

A satisfied patient recently shared, "The staff made me feel so comfortable and cared for." This type of feedback underscores our commitment to customer service, ensuring that dental procedures—whether fillings or crowns—are handled with expertise and compassion.
