Restorative Dental Care

Teeth can become damaged in a variety of ways which can include untreated decay and fracture. Dental restorations or fillings are the most common and conservative treatment option to replace part of a tooth that has sustained irreversible damage. Signs that may indicate a tooth needs a filling include pain when chewing or biting down, sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures, and missing tooth structure that can be seen visibly or felt. Our office offers tooth-colored fillings using state-of-the-art composite resin materials. These materials are not only safe, strong and durable, they also offer the most esthetically pleasing and natural looking results. While fillings can last for many years, it is essential to maintain good oral hygiene habits and to return for regular cleanings and exams. This is because cavities can still form around fillings or on a different part of the natural tooth.
