Frequently Asked Questions


Common questions about restorative dentistry at our Charlottesville office.

What is the difference between a filling and a crown?

A filling repairs a small to medium cavity by filling the cleaned-out space. A crown caps the entire tooth and is used when too much structure is damaged or weakened for a filling to hold.

Does a root canal hurt?

Modern root canal therapy is done with anesthesia and feels much like getting a filling. It actually relieves the pain caused by an infected tooth, and most patients are comfortable the same day.

How long do dental crowns and bridges last?

With good oral hygiene and regular checkups, crowns and bridges commonly last 10 to 15 years or more. We use durable porcelain and zirconia materials matched to blend with your natural teeth.

Can you replace several missing teeth?

Yes. Depending on your needs and budget, we restore multiple missing teeth with bridges, partial dentures, full dentures, or implant-supported options, then build a plan that fits your goals.
