## Highlights

- Restorative services include tooth-colored fillings, nerve treatments, stainless steel crowns, Zirconia (white) crowns, and extractions.
- A dental crown is a custom-made cap used to restore a damaged tooth; crowns can be made from metal, resin, or porcelain and typically last five to 15 years when cared for properly.
- Amalgam (silver) fillings are described as common, cost-effective, and long-lasting (often well over a decade).
- Composite (tooth-colored) fillings bond chemically to tooth structure, offer better aesthetics, but may be less long-lasting and more vulnerable to damage compared with amalgam.
- Composite resins are usually used on front teeth for aesthetics but can be used on back teeth depending on decay location and extent.
