During the exam, if we find that a tooth has decay, or a minor fracture, many of the times, our choice will be to do a tooth colored filling in those areas. A lot of times people say, Well, I don't feel anything wrong. I don't have any symptoms. Why do I need to have treatment done?
But a lot of times in these early cases, you won't have symptoms, but if you leave it, they're gonna turn in to something much bigger. You, a lot of times, will end up needing to have root canals or crowns, so we definitely don't want to get in to that situation.

As you read, tooth decay is pretty common across the United States. If you have a cavity, it’s OK. We can help.You also will be happy to know that our fillings are not made with metal (gold or amalgam). Instead, we use a composite resin. When this is applied to your tooth, it can be shaded to match the color of your smile. When polished, our white fillings blend seamlessly with your tooth, so other people won’t be able to tell that you had a cavity.If you had a cavity years ago, you may have a filling that is showing signs of wear and tear. If it’s time to replace that worn-out filling, then a composite resin filling could be the perfect replacement option. It offers the same protection as metal fillings but without becoming a distraction when you speak or smile.
