Tooth decay impacts smiles of all ages. You and your kids are all just as susceptible to tooth decay, and care is needed to avoid infection and the risk of missing teeth. But we can help! In today’s blog, your team at Celina Family Dentistry talks about placing fillings that look natural for our patients in Celina, TX.
The Presence of a Cavity
How do you know if you need a dental restoration? If you have tooth sensitivity when you eat or drink, or a toothache that develops and does not pass after a day or two, then you may have a cavity that needs treatment. Without treatment, this could become an infection that threatens the stability of your smile. But we can help, placing a dental filling that looks natural and helps keep your smile intact and strong!
Fillings That Look Natural
How do we place a dental filling that looks natural? Our team will start by numbing your tooth, ensuring you stay comfortable as we remove all decay and thoroughly clean the tooth. Our team will then shade the composite resin to ensure it can blend with the rest of the tooth for a natural appearance. We also shape the tooth for better balance and a comfortable fit, all while the composite resin cures under a light. The last step is to polish the tooth for a more attractive appearance. In one visit, we can take on tooth decay and secure a filling that looks natural!
Crowns
What if your tooth decay is too severe for a natural-looking dental filling? Well, then we could cap the tooth with a crown. Also known as a full restoration the crown caps the tooth and covers the outer structure, and we will craft these from durable and lifelike materials, such as porcelain, porcelain-fused-to-metal, or zirconia, all of which can be shaded for a more lifelike appearance. When you have pain in your tooth, we have options that can handle the source of discomfort and prevent the loss of your tooth, all while blending with your smile seamlessly.
If you have any questions about how we treat cavities by placing a natural-looking restoration, or about how we can restore a tooth with a custom crown, then contact our team today to learn more and get started on your journey.
