Cavity Fillings for the Greater Buffalo, NY Area
Options for Cavity Fillings
Oftentimes, the thought of getting a cavity filled is daunting. Fillings have a reputation for being painful, serious, and negative. Our family dentists are here to change your thoughts since that is not true in all instances. Cavities are detrimental to your oral health and getting them fixed is important.
A cavity is a hole left behind after part of the tooth is damaged from decay. The tooth then holds the bacteria that created it, which could potentially continue to decay the tooth even further. Cavity fillings include cleaning the decay inside the tooth, usually using a drill, to prevent further issues. Then, the cavity is filled by replacing the part of the tooth that was destroyed. Molded to match the shape of the tooth, restoring the strength and integrity of said tooth. Our dentists use composite resin, silver amalgam, and glass ionomer fillings; the best solution is chosen for your situation.
Why Cavity Fillings Are Important :
- Prevent Further Damage - Cavity filling will prevent bacteria or plaque from building up in the hole, causing more decay as time passes. Remedying the issue will improve the health and function of your teeth.
- Restore Full Functionality of Tooth - Damage in your tooth could expose the inner nerves and compromise its structural integrity. By filling the cavity, the functionality returns to normal.
- Reinforced Tooth - If a hole is left in your tooth, it leaves it more susceptible to chopping, cracking, or breaking inward.
