When you go in for a cavity treatment, what kind of outcome should you expect? Is it fair to worry that your dental restoration might draw undesired attention to itself, and throw off your appearance? Patients who need restorative dental work can be relieved to learn that modern cavity treatment can include fillings and dental crowns that will not disrupt your smile. Using composite resin for dental fillings will provide discreet protection after decay is removed. For larger cavities – including cavities that make root canal treatment necessary – crowns that are constructed with porcelain or zirconia offer important support, while also closely imitating the look of your natural teeth.
Questions:
True Or False: Your restoration will protect your tooth, but it may draw unwanted attention because of its conspicuous appearance.
True Or False: You can avoid a root canal by making sure you have your cavity addressed before problems reach the interior of your tooth.
True Or False: Fillings made of composite resin are less reactive to heat and cold, which can limit their movement, and potential issues with a poor fit on your tooth.
Answers:
False! Fillings and crowns can be constructed to blend in with your smile. This means you will receive important protection, and will not have to worry about how your restoration might affect how you look.
True! If you have a cavity addressed before decay makes its way through your enamel, you will not need to undergo a root canal treatment.
True! Metal fillings can grow or constrict based on temperature extremes, causing them to lose their shape. This can also cause pain or sensitivity. Because composite resin is less sensitive to this movement, you can avoid this issue.
