Dental Fillings for Cavity Repair:
-
Dental fillings are used to restore teeth affected by decay, bringing them back to their original shape and function. If you have a cavity, our experienced team will gently remove the decayed portion of your tooth, clean the area thoroughly, and then fill the cavity with a high-quality filling material. This procedure prevents further decay and helps preserve the strength and structure of your tooth.
Dental Sealants for Preventive Care:
-
Dental sealants are a preventive treatment applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars), which are prone to plaque and bacteria buildup. These protective coatings fill the grooves and crevices in your teeth, creating a smooth surface that is easier to clean. Sealants provide an extra layer of protection, preventing decay before it starts by acting as a barrier against harmful bacteria and food particles.
Both fillings and sealants are quick, non-invasive procedures designed to keep your teeth healthy and strong. Our team works to ensure your comfort and satisfaction, helping you enjoy a pain-free experience and a smiling, confident you.
