If you spot a cavity in your smile, you shouldn’t ignore it because it isn’t painful. The cavity will grow with time, resulting in pain and sensitivity. If you still choose to do nothing about it, your tooth can become infected, and if a root canal isn’t done, tooth removal will be the only option on the table. Now think about the cost of replacing that tooth! You don’t have to go through this because cavities are easily treatable.
At Titus Dentistry, we treat dental cavities using composite (tooth-colored) fillings. While the procedure is fast and straightforward, it leaves you with excellent results that last many years.
Dentists have been using metal (amalgam) fillings to restore damaged teeth for years. However, these silver-colored fillings’ esthetics were found wanting, leading to the invention of metal-free composite fillings.
Composite fillings consist of a mixture of acrylic resin and polished glass. Composite fillings mimic the translucency of your natural teeth, blending seamlessly with your smile. Once Dr. Jonathan Titus repairs your cavity with composite fillings, no one will know you once had tooth decay.
The discrete nature of composite fillings makes them popular with dentists and patients. Tooth-colored fillings not only treat cavities but leave you with an esthetically appealing smile. The other benefits include:
