Addressing cavities early is key to preventing more complex and expensive dental treatments. If caught in time, cavities can often be effectively treated with a simple filling.
Once a cavity forms, it will continue to expand unless the decayed portion is removed and the tooth is restored. Neglecting to treat cavities may result in the need for more extensive procedures such as crowns, bridges, root canals, or even dental implants.
Natural-Looking Tooth Fillings
While traditional metal (amalgam) fillings were once widely used, modern dentistry often favors tooth-colored composite fillings. These materials blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, making them far less noticeable compared to metallic alternatives. Additionally, composite fillings are less sensitive to temperature changes, reducing the likelihood of discomfort from hot or cold foods.
Another significant advantage of composite fillings is that they are mercury-free, unlike older amalgam fillings. For this reason, many patients opt to replace their existing metal fillings with safer, more aesthetically pleasing tooth-colored options.
