Dental Fillings
Fillings help to protect your teeth from further damage or decay. Contact the professionals at Dental Care Associates if you think you may have a cavity.
Most people will have a cavity at some point in their life. During your consultation at Dental Care Associates, we’ll evaluate your teeth and any cavities to determine if a filling is necessary. We’ll also evaluate your medical and dental health for any risk factors that might lead to tooth decay or future cavities.
If a tooth is weakened from decay, wear, or cracks, a filling may be necessary to maintain the health of your tooth, eliminate additional damage, and to maintain your beautiful smile. We offer options for restorative materials, including 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 for 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 which is right for you.
