What Is A Tooth-colored Filling?
When a cavity is detected, it appears as a hole in the tooth that needs to be filled to prevent it from worsening. This filling, known as a tooth cavity filling, is traditionally made of silver amalgam which can be visible in the smile. However, white fillings made of composite resin offer a more aesthetically pleasing option for patients. Not only do white fillings enhance the smile, but they are also safe and effective in treating cavities.
Why Do I Need To Fill A Cavity?
Many patients may not be aware of their cavities until their dentist identifies them. However, it is important to treat cavities promptly to prevent them from worsening. Untreated cavities can deepen and widen, potentially leading to infection of the dental pulp and causing severe pain. In such cases, root canal therapy may be necessary to save the tooth from extraction. By addressing cavities with fillings early on, patients can preserve their natural tooth structure and reduce the risk of more serious issues in the future.

I just had my first appointment but I have never been more impressed with a doctor. She took her time, listened to me and Eve sat down and went over my scans with me. Her goal is to get to the root of the problem, as opposed to just throwing drugs at it. I can’t recommend them enough.

I'm really grateful that I found this place! I came in with pain and thoughts of possibly having TMJ and Dr. Reddy was very helpful! She gave me an depth overview of my x-rays and various treatment plans. Dr. Reddy is very personable and I feel as if I'm on the right path of stopping the progression of my TMJ symptoms.

I have never had a more thorough exam from a doctor. She was able to identify the source of my pain that I have had for many years. She took time to explain everything to me and came up with a treatment plan to help alleviate my TMJ.

The practice and environment is very nice! Prices are extremely manageable, even without insurance coverage. Doctors are detailed oriented and explain everything, actually taking their time and truly care about results of their recommendations.

Everything was very easy and she got to the root of the problem quickly. After receiving my orthotic appliance, I noticed a difference the first week. I feel much better.
