Dental Fillings for Cavity Repair

Dental fillings are used to restore teeth that have been damaged by cavities. When decay forms, it can compromise the structure of the tooth, leading to pain and potential infection. During the procedure, we remove the decayed portion of the tooth and fill the area with a durable, tooth-colored composite material that blends naturally with your smile. Fillings not only restore the strength and function of the tooth but also help prevent further decay from spreading. We prioritize patient comfort by using gentle techniques and advanced materials that provide long-lasting results.

Dental Sealants for Cavity Prevention

Dental sealants are a preventive treatment designed to protect teeth from cavities before decay develops. They are most commonly applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars, where deep grooves and pits can trap food and bacteria. The sealant is a thin, protective coating that quickly bonds to the tooth’s surface, creating a smooth barrier against plaque and acids. This treatment is especially beneficial for children and teens who may have difficulty thoroughly cleaning these hard-to-reach areas. However, adults with cavity-prone teeth can also benefit from sealants. The application process is quick, painless, and can significantly reduce the risk of tooth decay over time.
