Dental Crowns & Fillings in Colchester, CT


When a tooth becomes weakened, decayed, or damaged, restoring it quickly and properly is essential for long-term oral health. At Colchester Family Dental, we provide high-quality dental crowns and tooth-colored fillings that repair your smile with strength, function, and natural beauty. Dr. Radhee Sheth customizes every restoration to match the shape and shade of your surrounding teeth, ensuring seamless, long-lasting results.


Whether you need to treat a cavity, restore a fractured tooth, or protect a tooth after root canal therapy, our restorative dentistry solutions help you smile confidently again.


Tooth-Colored Composite Fillings


Composite fillings are the modern alternative to silver (amalgam) fillings. They blend perfectly with your natural tooth color and bond securely to the enamel for added strength.


Benefits of Composite Fillings:


  • Natural-looking and virtually invisible

  • Preserve more natural tooth structure

  • Strong and durable

  • Mercury-free and safe

  • Ideal for small to moderate cavities

Composite fillings are completed in one visit and are perfect for treating early decay or replacing old metal fillings.


Dental Crowns


A dental crown is a custom-made “cap” that fits over a damaged tooth to restore its strength, shape, and appearance. Crowns are recommended when a tooth is too damaged for a filling but strong enough to save.


A Crown May Be Needed For:


  • Cracked or fractured teeth

  • Large fillings that weaken a tooth

  • Severe decay

  • Protecting a tooth after a root canal

  • Restoring worn or misshapen teeth

  • Cosmetic improvements

  • Saving a tooth from extraction

Crowns are made from high-quality materials, including porcelain and ceramic, to ensure durability and a natural, lifelike shine.


The Crown Process

1. Comprehensive Evaluation


We assess the tooth and determine the best restorative approach.


2. Tooth Preparation


The tooth is shaped, and digital impressions are taken to create a perfect-fitting crown.


3. Temporary Crown


A temporary restoration protects your tooth while your final crown is crafted.


4. Final Placement


Your custom crown is bonded securely for long-term function and beauty.


Crowns typically last 10–15+ years with proper care.


Why Choose Tooth-Colored Restorations?


  • Blend naturally with your smile

  • Durable and long-lasting

  • Biocompatible and safe

  • Do not discolor surrounding teeth

  • Preserve structure while restoring strength

Dr. Sheth carefully selects materials and shades to ensure your crown or filling looks indistinguishable from your natural teeth.

  • Do you offer same-day emergency dental appointments?

    Yes. We provide same-day emergency care for toothaches, infections, broken teeth, swelling, or urgent issues. We are also available 7 days a week for dental emergencies. Call our office right away for assistance.

  • What services are included in preventive dental care?

    Preventive care includes routine cleanings, exams, digital X-rays, fluoride treatments, oral health education, gum disease screening, and pediatric visits. These services help prevent cavities, gum issues, and long-term dental complications.

  • What cosmetic dental treatments do you offer?

    We offer whitening, composite veneers, bonding, smile makeovers, and clear aligners (Invisalign & Spark). Dr. Sheth uses advanced training and artistic skill to create natural, beautiful, confidence-boosting results.

  • How do composite veneers differ from porcelain veneers?

    Composite veneers are placed in a single visit, are more affordable, and require minimal tooth preparation. Porcelain veneers last longer and resist staining but require multiple visits. Dr. Sheth will help determine the best option for your goals.

  • Are clear aligners a good option for adults?

    Absolutely. Invisalign and Spark Aligners are excellent for adults seeking a discreet, comfortable way to straighten their teeth. They can correct crowding, gaps, bite issues, and mild-to-moderate misalignment.

  • What should I expect during a root canal?

    Root canals relieve pain by removing infection inside the tooth. With modern techniques and Dr. Sheth’s gentle approach, most patients report the procedure feels similar to getting a filling — and relief is immediate.

  • How long do crowns and fillings last?

    Tooth-colored fillings can last 7–10 years, while custom dental crowns can last 10–15+ years with proper care. Regular cleanings, good oral hygiene, and avoiding hard chewing help extend their lifespan.

  • Am I a candidate for dental implants?

    You may be a good candidate if you have one or more missing teeth, healthy gums, and sufficient bone structure. Implants are the most natural, durable replacement option. We coordinate implant placement and provide custom crowns for beautiful results.

  • What services do you provide for children?

    We offer gentle pediatric cleanings, exams, cavity prevention, fluoride treatments, X-rays, fillings, growth monitoring, and education to help kids build strong oral habits. Our office is warm, friendly, and designed to ease dental anxiety.

  • Do you offer options for replacing multiple missing teeth?

    Yes. We provide partial dentures, full dentures, implant-supported dentures, and bridges. Dr. Sheth will review your goals and determine which option offers the best comfort, function, and esthetics.
