Protecting yourself against dental decay is important. Even if your cavity is identified and treated in its early stage, it will do permanent harm to your enamel that will have to be addressed. When you schedule cavity treatment at our St. Louis, MO dentist’s office, Dr. Johnson-G’Sell can provide treatment that still preserves your appearance. With both dental fillings and dental crowns, we can provide lasting support for teeth affected by decay, and we can do so with restorations that imitate your healthy enamel. As a result, you will not have to worry about trouble with your dental health creating problems for the way you look.
A Cavity Will Do Permanent Damage To Your Enamel
Once a cavity forms, it will continue to grow, and that will do permanent damage to your enamel. If the problem is identified in time, we can provide restorative dental work while the amount of harm is limited, but it will be necessary to place a permanent restoration. If you do not schedule dental checkups on a regular basis, you are more likely to experience complications from a larger cavity that will call for more involved care. Even if this is the case, we can discuss treatment to keep your tooth safe while also preserving your smile.
Receiving A Lifelike Filling Or Crown
Depending on the size of your cavity and the harm done to your tooth structure, Dr. Johnson-G’Sell will provide a dental filling or a dental crown. Fillings are applied directly to the area where your cavity developed. The composite resin material that we use to make fillings matches the appearance of healthy tooth structure. The substance will bond to your enamel to create a secure repair. With a dental crown, we can support your damaged tooth by completely covering it above the gum line. This is beneficial when more serious decay affects your tooth. We use different materials like porcelain and zirconia to both protect teeth and make the restoration blend naturally into your smile. For a remarkably lifelike option, we can also recommend that you receive an E-max crown.
Regular Dental Checkups Lead To Timely Cavity Care
By scheduling your dental checkups on a regular basis, you can avoid complications from advanced tooth decay. This is because Dr. Johnson-G’Sell will carefully evaluate you in order to find any cavities that may have formed since your last appointment. When this happens, you can move forward with restorative treatment before you experience uncomfortable symptoms connected to decay!
