Tooth decay is a common problem that will affect mostly
everyone at some point in their life. It occurs as a result of an accumulation
of harmful bacteria on the teeth. This bacteria eats away at the enamel and
slowly wear away the natural tooth structure. Although it sounds scary, it can
actually be treated fairly easily if it is detected soon enough. It is for this
reason that you should schedule routine dental exams with a Los Angelesholistic dentist so that your teeth can be regularly checked out and decay can
be discovered.
Dental fillings are commonly used to repair damage caused by
tooth decay. Our expert in fillings in Los Angeles takes a holistic approach to
placing fillings that are biocompatible and aesthetically pleasing.
Mercury-free fillings are used so that your dental and overall health are not
threatened. And your filling will blend in naturally with the color and shape
of your teeth.
Before a filling can be put in place, the decayed material
will be removed and the tooth will be cleaned. Usually the filling can be
placed in a single appointment, and once the procedure is over, you will be
given instructions on how to care for your new restoration. For the most part,
you can care for your filling just like your natural teeth.
The amount of tooth shaping that will be needed for any specific restoration will vary.
ReplyDeleteWith some cosmetic applications (closing tooth gaps, repairing minor chips), little to no trimming may be needed.
At the other extreme, if a restoration is needed to repair the damaged caused by tooth decay, the amount of drilling required may be relatively extensive.

ReplyDeleteDon't you hate when the dentist try to talk to you, while they're doing something to your teeth, and you try to response back to them with your mouth wide open.
