When You Have a Cavity
A cavity is a result of tooth decay—a progressive infection caused by an overgrowth of harmful oral bacteria. When plaque and tartar build up on your teeth, the bacteria they harbor can erode your tooth enamel and infect the underlying tooth structure. Common symptoms of a cavity include increasing tooth pain and discoloration around the affected tooth. The longer you wait to treat a cavity, the more noticeable these symptoms will become.
How a Tooth-colored Filling Helps
A tooth-colored filling is designed to stop the cavity from getting larger and to reinforce the healthy tooth structure that remains. After cleaning the cavity and removing any infected tissue and bacteria, we will place a custom-made filling that fits the cavity and blends seamlessly with the rest of your tooth. Choosing a tooth-colored composite resin filling offers several advantages, including:
- No visible metal in your smile
- No risk of the filling changing shape over time
- Reduced friction against opposing teeth while chewing
- Reduced risk of needing root canal treatment later
