Restorations

Tooth decay, or a cavity, is one of the most common diagnoses in a dental office. Teeth decay as a result of bacteria breaking down the hard tooth structures, known as enamel and dentin. Once the damage has affected the dentinal layer of the tooth, the decay needs to be removed and the tooth requires a restoration.

Modern day developments have vastly improved in the area of composite restorations, known more commonly as white fillings. Composites today have a mechanical makeup that resembles that of natural tooth structure, can form a strong bond to the teeth for better support and longevity, and also do not cause stress and strain on the teeth as other restorative materials may do.

They also have the advantage of being aesthetically pleasing and often times, undetectable in the mouth.
