A general dentist knows the importance of a tooth's appearance. Tooth damage can change the way your tooth looks. Decay, accidents, medications, and conditions can cause tooth damage. Dental bonding is one of the most common repair options — the dentist applies a tooth-colored resin to the damaged area and shapes it to restore the tooth's appearance. Dental veneers are thin shells bonded to the front of the tooth, ideal for cosmetic damage. Dental crowns cap the entire tooth and are used for more extensive damage. For damage involving the pulp, root canal therapy removes the infected tissue before a crown is placed.
