Fillings
Fillings are used to restore cavities or to repair small chips in your teeth. Tooth decay, commonly referred to as “cavities”, occurs when there is a breakdown of tooth structure. Some patients may notice darkened areas or holes in their teeth. At Mint Dental Care, we place white composite fillings to replace the darkened areas and holes that may be visible when a cavity is present. The result is a natural, esthetic filling that blends in with your smile.
Many times, cavities do not cause any pain or sensitivity until they are quite large. By this time, teeth often will need more extensive treatment, such as crowns or root canals, to make them whole and healthy again. It is best to detect and treat cavities early to allow for more conservative treatment options.
