It is our belief that it is always best to preserve what we were given at birth. It really saddened us when we have to remove tooth structure due to caries or fracture. We only proceed to crown option when we see that the filling is more than half of the tooth, or filling with history of shortened lifespan or there is tooth fracture.  Our promise to conserve and preserve will be applied most religiously here.  In fact, our filling & crown procedures often take extra time because of so many extra steps we do to disinfect the tooth. We can proudly say we have prevented many teeth from having a root canal treatment because of our disinfection protocols.
