When cavities affect you, it can be reassuring to know that you have access to dependable care. At our Virginia Beach, VA dentist’s office, we are able to treat problems with decay without making permanent changes to your appearance. In fact, we can often provide a resolution to your troubles with a discreet dental filling, which can be placed directly at the site of the cavity. Because we can apply the material directly to the surface of the tooth where damage occurred, we can minimize changes to the structure as we protect it against new issues and preserve how it looks!
Are You In Need Of A Dental Filling?
You may not realize when a problem first becomes serious enough to require a filling. A cavity can eventually become a painful problem, one that is hard to ignore, but by this time, it can already be serious enough to require advanced care. In the earlier stages of decay, problems can go unnoticed. Fortunately, you can have the matter resolved in time when you regularly schedule checkups, as these visits will give your dentist opportunities to recognize that care is necessary.
How Restorative Treatment Gives You Lasting Support After A Cavity Is Addressed
Cavities do permanent damage to tooth structure, which means the treatment you receive needs to offer lasting support. Dental fillings are permanently applied to enamel when cavities are treated. When put in place, the composite resin substance we use actually bonds to your tooth to create a remarkable degree of support. In addition to matching your enamel, the material protects it, which means you do not have to change the way you bite and chew to avoid putting any pressure on it.
Keeping You Safe Against New Cavities
Our goal during your preventive visits is to help you maintain a healthy and lovely smile. In addition to finding active problems that require our care, we can provide services that make you less likely to need restorative treatment in the future. Regular teeth cleanings are important to this, as your hygienist is able to remove harmful microbes after clearing away all plaque and tartar deposits found on your smile. The removal of tartar is particularly important because this substance can remain despite your efforts at removal through brushing and flossing.
