Tooth Restorations

Tooth Fillings

  • A dental filling is a simple, common procedure used to repair minor tooth decay or damage.
  • During the procedure, the decayed portion of the tooth is removed, and the cavity is cleaned and filled with a durable material such as composite resin.
  • This restores the tooth’s shape, function, and appearance.

When You Might Need a Filling

  • You have a small to moderate cavity.
  • Your tooth has minor damage or wear.
  • You experience mild sensitivity or discomfort when eating sweet, hot, or cold foods.

Root Canals

  • A root canal is a more advanced procedure used to treat severe tooth decay or infection that has reached the tooth’s pulp (the innermost part of the tooth containing nerves and blood vessels).
  • The procedure involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the root canals, and sealing the tooth to prevent further infection.
  • Often, a crown is placed over the tooth to restore its strength and function.

When You Might Need a Root Canal

  • You have severe tooth decay that has reached the pulp.
  • You experience intense, persistent tooth pain.
  • Your tooth is abscessed or infected.
  • You notice swelling or tenderness in the gums around a specific tooth.
