Once a cavity forms, will you have to say goodbye to the smile you once knew? Decay’s effect on your tooth structure is not reversible, meaning the tissues lost to damage will not be replaced through natural healing. However, what you can do is receive a durable restoration that protects the structure and also provides cosmetic support. At our Riverside, CA dentist’s office, we can provide treatment options for cavities and other problems that negatively impact you. With a lifelike composite resin material, we can actually place dental fillings that blend in with surrounding enamel and go unnoticed. This treatment approach and care with lifelike crowns can ensure that your appearance is not hurt by decay even when that decay forms in a more conspicuous area. (more…)
