If a cavity forms and it goes untreated, there are serious consequences for your oral health. Eventually, decay will cause an infection, which causes discomfort and sensitivity issues. This makes you vulnerable to both the loss of your tooth and the spread of harmful bacteria to other areas. There are different restorative services our Kansas City, MO dentist’s office can provide for patients in need of treatment. An evaluation will determine what kind of care you should receive. If the problem is caught in time, we can restore your tooth with a dental filling. A more significant problem with decay can call for a dental crown, and can also make root canal treatment necessary.

The Importance Of Proper Cavity Treatment

Any time your dentist alerts you to a cavity, you should make its treatment a priority. The good news is that when decay is caught soon enough, we can take care of it by removing the damaged tissues and placing a dental filling to cover the affected area. When a problem is more severe, it becomes necessary for us to use different strategies to restore your oral health. With root canal therapy, we can remove infected tissues and deal with internal harm. After this service, we can place a dental crown to surround the tooth and keep it safe.

Using A Dental Filling To Protect Your Tooth

Through the use of composite dental fillings, we can restore teeth without making permanent changes to the look of a tooth. The materials we provide for treatment are capable of bonding directly to your enamel, and they can provide stability while they match the appearance of healthy enamel. The process of treating your cavity and placing your filling can all be completed in just a single appointment, making your care easier to schedule and receive than you expect!

Treating An Advanced Cavity With A Crown

Some cavities demand more than just the placement of dental fillings. When there is too much damage to your tooth structure, we can instead recommend that you receive a crown. For another practice, this means that treatment will call for two appointments. However, at our office, we can have the work you need done finished in just a single visit thanks to CEREC technology. Our practice maintains all of the equipment we need to digitally measure teeth, design restorations, and have lifelike crowns produced in just a single appointment.
