GENERAL DENTISTRY
At Kaur Dental of Fox Chapel, we provide comprehensive dental care. Our general dentistry treatments include Partial Crowns, Inlays & Inlays, Dental Crowns, Dental Bridges, Dentures, and Tooth Colored Fillings.
PARTIAL CROWNS, INLAYS & ONLAYS
At Kaur Dental, we offer the latest advances in the approach to restorative dentistry in Pittsburgh. We provide long-lasting, natural partial crowns, called inlays and onlays. Treating areas of trauma or tooth decay often require partial crowns, inlays, and onlays.
We will work to take a conservative approach to restorative dentistry with an inlay constructed of a strong, durable exterior. Inlays are used similar to a dental filling and is replacing part of your tooth. The inlay is carefully cemented or bonded into place. Similar to a puzzle, inlays fit in place on the tooth. An onlay is the replacement of the point or cusp of your tooth.
A dental crown will be placed if the part of the tooth to be restored is even greater than a filling. Dental fillings use a soft material that is molded into the tooth. We firmly place porcelain dental crown fillings by cementing them into place once they are shaped in a dental lab for the best esthetic.
If you are interested in finding out more about partial crowns or our longest-lasting inlays or onlays, please schedule an appointment with our dentist office in Fox Chapel, Pittsburgh, Pa.
DENTAL CROWNS
Dental crowns, also known as caps, slide over teeth to hide misshaped, misaligned, discolored, or other tooth imperfections. Dental crowns cover and protect cracked teeth, increase comfort, and offer extra support to teeth that are weak or damaged. If you have old crowns with black lines by the gums, the Kaur Dental dentists can make porcelain crowns that will vastly improve the overall appearance of your smile.

DENTAL BRIDGES
At Kaur Dental Care, we believe that the best teeth are your own teeth. Our expert team will do all they can to make sure that you keep your teeth. But sometimes, a tooth is badly damaged or lost. The good news is that a dental bridge can restore a badly damaged tooth or even replace a lost tooth.
A typical dental bridge consists of a filler tooth that is attached to two surrounding dental crowns. Once complete, our experienced Pittsburgh dentist bonds this bridge structure into your mouth. Without a dental bridge, your remaining teeth can drift out of line and cause other dental problems, and possibly periodontal disease. All-porcelain dental bridges can safeguard the integrity of your existing teeth and help you maintain a healthy, vibrant smile. Dental implants are also a safe, more permanent option to dental bridges.

DENTURES
The Kaur Dental of Fox Chapel dental team do all they can to make sure you keep your teeth. However, sometimes that isn’t possible and dentures are required. We offer many types of dentures, including complete and partial dentures.
Complete dentures are used when very little of your original teeth remain. The Kaur Dental Care denture dentist will first remove any of your remaining teeth to fit your dentures. Next, your dentist will make a mold of your gums and sends it to a dental lab where your customized dentures are constructed. Typically you’ll first be fitted with temporary dentures until your permanent set is ready.
Partial dentures are prepared in much the same way as a complete set and are recommended when only a few teeth are missing. In our Pittsburgh-Fox Chapel offer we also offer implant-supported dentures. We work closely with our dental implant specialists to create the most appropriate dental solution for you.

TOOTH COLORED FILLINGS
Gone are the days when tooth ailments and cavities could only be treated with unsightly metal fillings. Today, modern, tooth colored fillings — or white fillings — made of durable resin or porcelain can be bonded to your teeth for a stronger, more natural-looking effect. The Kaur Dental Care dentists are masters at matching the exact filling shade to your individual tooth color. These revolutionary tooth colored fillings are virtually undetectable and are easy to apply.
