Damaged teeth can make chewing and speaking quite uncomfortable, while untreated tooth decay can cause irritation and sensitivity that can become increasingly painful over time. At CU Dentists, we often recommend crowns to restore function and appearance following a root canal or when decay is so advanced that too much tooth structure must be removed to make filling it a viable option. A tooth crown can also prevent a cracked tooth from becoming worse or cover an existing filling that is too compromised to repair with an onlay. If you have one or two missing teeth, the remaining gaps and spaces can compromise the health of remaining teeth. A dental bridge is an ideal solution to fill the empty space, enable proper chewing and prevent drifting of adjacent teeth into the space left by the missing tooth. Whether you have chipped, cracked, broken, severely decayed or missing teeth, we can make your smile whole and fully functional again with dental bridges and crowns in Champaign, IL and Rantoul, IL . Our dentist Dr. R. Benjamin Scott is skilled in delivering restorative treatments with excellent functional and aesthetic outcomes!
