What Keeps A Tooth Filling In Place?

If your tooth needs to be treated for a cavity, know that your Dallas, TX dental practice is ready to help you. In addition to taking care of the damage to your enamel, we can provide protection after the matter is resolved by placing a lifelike dental filling to cover the area where decay had to be addressed. We rely on a composite material that produces lifelike dental fillings. This ensures that your smile is not altered by the procedure, and it will also help by offering lasting support. The material is able to directly adhere to your tooth structure in order to provide long-term protection.

A Filling Needs To Provide Permanent Protection For Your Tooth

Once a cavity forms, there will be no way to address the problem without permanently removing the infected portion of the tooth and placing a restoration to address this loss of material. For many patients, this work will occur when there is still time to take care of the matter with a custom filling. As a result, they can minimize the overall changes that must take place, and they can enjoy results from a more conservative restoration. Dental fillings provide protection to an immediate area but leave the surrounding healthy enamel unchanged. The ones placed at our practice can provide this support while also avoiding unwanted attention, as they are made from a material that imitates healthy enamel.

Lifelike Fillings That Bond To Your Enamel Are Available

Fillings made from a lifelike composite resin material can certainly provide important benefits during cavity treatment. The substance actually adheres directly to your enamel to create a remarkably strong hold. It will also provide a good cosmetic match for your enamel, which means it is hard for people to notice. This material is applied directly to the site of decay after your dentist carefully removes the damaged material, and it will remain secured for many years after.

Restorative Treatment With Dental Crowns

With dental crowns, we can provide protection when teeth need more than just their dental fillings to take care of them. These restorations surround teeth rather than treat the direct site where a cavity formed. This provides more functional support, but it will also require more preparatory work—we can provide the appropriate review to determine if this level of protection is needed before moving forward with treatment.
