Tooth decay develops when bacteria in your mouth produce acids that attack tooth enamel, creating holes called cavities. The American Dental Association notes that plaque constantly forms on teeth, and when you eat or drink anything with sugar, the bacteria present in plaque creates acids that attack your enamel. Left untreated, cavities continue to grow deeper into the tooth, eventually reaching the inner pulp and causing pain or infection.
Early-stage cavities often cause no symptoms, which is why regular dental checkups are crucial for detecting decay before it becomes painful. As cavities progress, you may experience tooth sensitivity, pain when biting, or visible holes in your teeth. Prompt treatment with dental fillings prevents these problems from worsening and helps preserve your natural teeth.
Today’s dental fillings offer superior aesthetics and durability compared to traditional silver amalgam. Composite resin fillings, made from tooth-colored materials, bond directly to your tooth structure, providing excellent strength while maintaining a natural appearance. These materials can be precisely matched to your existing tooth color, making repairs virtually invisible.
Composite fillings also require less tooth preparation than amalgam fillings, allowing us to preserve more of your healthy tooth structure. The bonding process actually strengthens the remaining tooth, providing long-lasting protection against future decay. These modern materials are also mercury-free, addressing health concerns some patients have about traditional amalgam fillings.
