When your tooth has been damaged by a cavity, you may lose functionality, as well as aesthetics. Thankfully, there’s a way to restore your smile and keep your teeth healthy and strong, as well as stop decay from damaging your smile any further. Dr. Todd Kamena, your dentist at Murrieta Dental Care in Livermore, CA, can inform you on how fillings can restore your smile and rid it of any decay.

Restore Your Damaged Smile with a Filling

When you experience a cavity, you may have pain and risk fully damaging your teeth as well as the risk of decay spreading throughout your smile and your entire body. Your dentist in Livermore, CA, can install a filling into your tooth, protecting it from any further damage and giving it a fresh start.

Your dentist will first numb the affected area, giving you total comfort while he repairs your smile. They will next rid your tooth of any decay, leaving just a now healthy tooth. Then, your dentist will need to fill the tooth with a filling to protect it from bacteria that can sneak into the open hole in your tooth.

Your dentist will use a tooth-colored material that will completely blend into your smile, leaving a natural appearance. This filling will keep your tooth totally functional and strong enough to bite and chew with ease again.
