If you have a cavity, you will have to arrange a restorative procedure that includes the placement of a filling or crown. The placement of your restoration has to take place because without this support, your tooth remains vulnerable from damage. Does this mean you have to accept that your smile is going to remain unattractive because of a conspicuous filling or crown? A restoration at our Riverside, CA dental practice can actually protect you without changing how you look. To place a filling, we apply a composite resin material that can match your tooth structure while providing long-term protection.

A Cavity Needs To Be Treated With A Durable Restoration

Until you do something about it, a cavity will actually keep growing and keep doing harm to your enamel. This creates several concerns. In addition to worrying about how much of your enamel you will ultimately lose, you have to worry over the formation of an infection that develops within the tooth structure. When decay is caught in time and care is provided, you can have the protection that you need from a conservative filling. This restoration leaves the surrounding enamel alone while protecting the vulnerable area.

Planning Your Treatment With A Dental Filling

Your dental filling will be placed after your dentist treats your tooth and removes the decayed tissues. From this point, we will provide the filling by covering the affected space with a composite resin substance that bonds to the enamel. Care is taken to apply this material in a way that offers the support you require without changing your appearance, so you can leave treatment with confidence in your smile.

What Happens If I Need More Than A Filling?

It is possible that you will need something more than a filling to take care of your cavity. At this point, we can still preserve your dental function and oral health by providing a dental crown. A crown covers your tooth above the gum line and offers protection so that you can still bite and chew. With the right substance, we can make sure that the presence of this restoration does not change your smile.
