Cavities can worsen without prompt treatment. Our dental fillings in Greenacres, FL restore decayed teeth with natural-looking, tooth-colored materials for patients in Greenacres, West Palm Beach, and nearby communities.
Fillings help repair teeth that have cavities, minor damage, or worn areas. The damaged portion of the tooth is gently removed, then the area is cleaned and repaired with a strong, durable filling. Treating cavities early helps stop decay from spreading and reduces the likelihood of needing more extensive procedures in the future.
According to the American Dental Association (ADA), treating cavities early helps preserve natural tooth structure and reduces the need for more extensive restorative treatment.
Modern composite fillings are designed to restore both the appearance and function of your teeth. Composite fillings are shade-matched to your natural teeth, creating a smooth, natural-looking restoration without the appearance of metal.
Benefits may include:
If a cavity has caused more extensive damage, your dentist may recommend a dental crown or root canal therapy to help restore the tooth.
Every treatment begins with a thorough examination to evaluate the extent of the decay.
Your dentist will examine the affected tooth and may recommend comprehensive dental exams or digital X-rays to determine the most appropriate treatment.
After comfortably numbing the area, the damaged portion of the tooth is removed and cleaned. A tooth-colored composite filling is then placed in layers, hardened with a special curing light, and shaped to restore the tooth's natural appearance and function.
Once the filling is complete, your dentist will check your bite, make any necessary adjustments, and polish the restoration to ensure a comfortable fit.
