This patient came in with a cavity that required treatment, so we performed a Caries Control procedure to remove decay and evaluate the remaining tooth structure. During this process, we determine whether the tooth can be restored with a dental filling or if it requires a dental crown for additional support.
The good news? In this case, the cavity was small enough to successfully restore the tooth with a tooth-colored filling, helping preserve the natural tooth structure while restoring strength and function.
Treating cavities early is one of the best ways to avoid more extensive dental treatment in the future. If you’re experiencing tooth sensitivity, pain, or think you may have a cavity, schedule an exam before it gets worse.
