Why is the formation of a cavity so concerning? Because your teeth are incapable of naturally healing, and replacing the material lost to decay, an issue with a cavity leaves a tooth in a permanent state of vulnerability. Fortunately, restorative dental work can provide valuable support for your tooth, so you can continue to put pressure on it when you bite and chew, and you can avoid problems with potential infections. Because your Shrewsbury, MA dentist offers restorations made with lifelike materials, you can feel confident in the support your tooth enjoys, while also appreciating the way your tooth still appears natural.

Determining What Needs To Be Done For Your Tooth When You Have A Cavity

When you show signs of tooth decay, your dentist studies the tooth structure carefully to see what kind of treatment you might need. This review is important, as it determines what kind of restoration would be best for you, and it can warn your dentist if you need a root canal treatment. If you attend regular dental exams, you can make it more likely that you will have a problem identified in time to receive a dental filling. Missing regular appointments, and only seeing your dentist when something seems wrong, can make it more likely that you will need a root canal and a dental crown.

Providing A Dental Filling That Matches Your Enamel

A modern dental filling is capable of imitating your surrounding enamel, so you do not show signs of having work done. These fillings, made from a special resin material, are also able to provide great support because they bond with your tooth.

Providing More Involved Treatment For An Advanced Cavity

At a certain stage, a cavity can lead to your tooth’s infiltration by oral bacteria. When damage exposes your tooth’s pulp, and internal problems result, your dentist will need to address it by performing a root canal. This will leave your tooth in need of a larger restoration than a filling. Your dentist can use E4D technology to produce an attractive, custom-made dental crown in this situation. The crown is designed to look like your tooth, and fit in with your smile, so that it is both attractive and comfortable. The material also boasts the necessary durability to stay in good shape for many years.
