Treatments for tooth decay
Our Approach to Treating Tooth Decay
Treatments at our clinic for tooth decay vary depending on the severity of the condition. In early stages, minor decay may be addressed through fluoride treatments or dental sealants to strengthen and protect the enamel. However, more advanced decay often requires procedures such as fillings, dental crowns, or root canal therapy to remove the decayed tissue and restore the tooth's function and structure. Regular dental check-ups can help detect decay early, allowing for timely intervention and preventing the need for more invasive treatments.
Dental Fillings
For small to moderate cavities, we use tooth-colored composite fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. These fillings allow us to remove decay and restore the tooth's structure while preserving as much healthy tooth tissue as possible.
Minimally Invasive Techniques
Whenever possible, we utilize minimally invasive techniques to remove decay and prepare the tooth for restoration. This approach helps minimize the removal of healthy tooth structure, preserving the tooth's integrity and strength.
