Dental Fillings
Contact the professionals at Dental Care Associates if you think you may have a cavity. Fillings help to protect your teeth from further damage or decay.
Most people will have a cavity at some point in their life. During your consultation at Dental Care Associates, we’ll evaluate your dental health to determine if a filling is necessary. We will also evaluate your medical and dental health for any risk factors that can lead to tooth decay or cavities. If a tooth becomes weakened from decay, wear or crack, a filling may be necessary to maintain the health of your tooth, eliminate additional damage and decay, and to maintain your beautiful smile. We provide options for restorative materials to include composite resin and amalgam.
Benefits of Dental Fillings:
- Stops the progression of decay by repairing the damaged tooth
- Restores normal function and appearance
- Fix small areas of decay to prevent further deterioration
- Strengthens fractured teeth
Composite restorations are natural looking, tooth colored fillings and are bonded to the teeth. Amalgam restorations are beneficial to use in areas of the mouth where moisture cannot be controlled, and they are more cost effective. The team at Dental Care Associates will discuss your options and help you determine what is the best choice for you.
