Your Fillings Can Look Lifelike

rochester dental fillings

Cavities impact smiles of all ages, from kids to adults. Regardless of age, without treatment tooth decay could lead to the onset of dental infection and an increased risk of tooth loss. To bring relief from discomfort and safeguard the tooth’s stability, your Rochester, MN, dentist could place lifelike dental fillings made from composite resin.

    When to Treat Tooth Decay

    How do you know if you have a cavity? Well, if you and your family see us every six months for your routine check up appointments, then we can likely identify the presence of a cavity in the earliest stages of demineralization, before you even experience discomfort. Otherwise, you may not know until the decay reaches a more advanced stage, at which point you could experience tooth sensitivity to hot or cold foods and drinks, or a toothache that doesn’t subside after a day or two. When you have routine discomfort, then let us know right away and schedule a consultation. Without treatment, this could lead to worsening pain and an infection, which threatens the stability of your tooth.

    Composite Resin

    We don’t use metal for our dental fillings. Instead, we opt for a metal-free composite resin. Made from a unique blend of glass-like and acrylic particles, this can be shaded to blend with your tooth seamlessly. The material is also safe for people of all ages, including kids, pregnant women, the elderly, and those with metal allergies. We also use the same material in our dental bonding procedures, repairing minor cosmetic issues in only one visit.

    Placing Dental Fillings

    Treatment begins with a thorough exam to identify the position and severity of your decay. We then numb the tooth to keep you comfortable as we remove all decay from the tooth and gently etch the outer surface. We then prepare the filling material, color matching it with your tooth. We apply the material in several lawyers and then sculpt the tooth as these layers cure beneath a light. The last step is to polish the tooth for a brighter appearance. In one visit, we can help kids and adults find relief from cavities, and ensure lifelike results that blend with the smile.

    If you have any questions about recognizing or treating a cavity, or about steps to avoid them, then contact our team today to learn more. We want to help you smile without hesitation!
