Curtail the Spread of Tooth Decay with Prompt Cavity Treatment
Unfortunately for many people, cavities occur much too frequently due to poor oral hygiene, genetics, or bad dietary habits. Sugary foods and drinks increase your chances of developing cavities that can ruin your teeth. Routine dental care from the office of Natalie K. Provenzano, DDS, Inc can help prevent decay and improve your oral health. Cavities do not cause any discomfort in early stages, making early detection from routine dental visits all the more important. If cavities happen, we’ll treat them promptly with composite fillings to keep decay from spreading.
Importance of Treating Cavities Quickly
Untreated decay is a major cause of tooth loss. If left unchecked, tooth decay will continue to grow and spread throughout your mouth, putting healthy teeth at risk. Cavity treatment will stop oral infections, protect your gums and teeth, and restore oral health. Early cavity treatment can save your infected tooth by restoring its health, strength, and structure for future use, and can prevent the need for crowns or root canals in the future.
Due to their valuable therapeutic properties, Dr. Natalie Provenzano and our team use composite fillings to treat tooth cavities. Composite fillings are composed of a safe, pliable, tooth-colored resin material that’s easy to work with and bonds quickly to your teeth. Dr. Provenzano and Dr. Simel can match the shade of your filling to the color of your teeth, making it virtually impossible to see, so you can smile comfortably without everyone knowing you’ve had dental treatment.
Advantages of Composite Fillings for Cavity
There are numerous advantages to using composite fillings:
- Tooth-colored fillings treat your cavities discreetly to maintain your smile’s aesthetic appeal.
- Composite fillings bond directly to your tooth, reinforcing its structure while protecting it from further decay.
- Composite fillings require less drilling and removal of tooth enamel, which preserves more of your tooth structure during treatment.
- Composite fillings are durable, lasting up to 10 years or more before needing to be replaced.
- The same resin material can be used to correct minor tooth flaws like chips, cracks, and stains to improve your tooth’s appearance, in addition to filling cavities.
