Okay, so we use a tooth filling to remove an area that is decayed, bring it back as close as I humanly can to what it was before it was damaged and before it had any of that decay in there. So the tooth filling is really just taking out bad and putting in good.
Prevent Future Problems by Treating Any Signs of Decay
There’s no reason to worry about noticeable dental work when you visit our practice. Dr. Vail uses metal-free fillings that are designed to blend in with your smile. With composite materials, the repair will look so natural that you’ll likely forget which tooth had the cavity in the first place. Plus, following your procedure, you’ll gain expert insights into how to further protect your smile between visits.
During your restorative procedure, you will experience the latest in dental technology:
- Ultra-safe digital X-rays that provide fast and detailed images of your mouth
- High-definition intraoral cameras that make it easy to see and understand your dental needs
- Digital scanning technology that creates easier impressions without messy putty or gagging
Sometimes decay requires more than a dental filling to ensure your tooth’s long-term health. In these cases, your dentist may recommend a crown – a protective cap that completely covers your tooth. Like our fillings, crowns are custom-crafted to match your natural teeth perfectly. No matter which restoration is right for you, we’ll use our advanced technology to ensure a precise fit and natural appearance.
