When you have a consistent smile care routine that includes regular oral health appointments, your risk for problems with dental decay are reduced. In the event that a cavity does become a problem for you, your Mansfield, TX dentist can offer a conservative solution in the form of a custom dental filling. With this restoration, it is possible to protect the tooth without changing how it looks. We use a composite material that matches the appearance of your enamel and also bonds to it to provide long-term value. We should note that different services can be recommended for cavity issues. If necessary, we may have to provide a more involved service to help you recover and preserve a fully healthy smile!

Why Cavity Treatment Includes The Placement Of A Permanent Restoration

The unfortunate reality of dental decay is that after a cavity forms, you will have permanent damage to your tooth structure that you need to deal with. What will need to happen to make sure that your smile remains safe and healthy after decay is treated? Your dentist will provide a restoration to keep the affected area covered, and to make sure that the structure remains strong enough to reliably provide long-term support for your bite. At our practice, we can often rely on dental fillings that both imitate healthy enamel and provide stable support by bonding to the structure.

Receiving Your Discreet Filling

A dental filling is applied directly to your tooth. The composite resin material we use will harden after it has been applied; the strength and support that comes from this substance in this state can make it easy for you to rely on it whenever you bite and chew foods. The material is able to offer more than just a secure hold; when in place, it will provide the kind of cosmetic coverage that makes it difficult for people to see that anything has happened to take care of an oral health issue!

Dealing With An Advanced Cavity

There are times when advanced tooth decay can require more involved oral health services. Your issue with a severe cavity can require a dental crown, and it may even demand that you have root canal therapy before receiving your restoration. The good news is that when these services are provided, a vulnerable tooth can stay protected, and you can remain confident that you are able to preserve your full smile!
