Repair Cavities and Restore Your Smile

A cavity can start as a small area of tooth decay but may become larger if it is not treated. Dental fillings are a common restorative treatment used to remove decay and repair the affected tooth. At Kemah Family Dental, we provide comprehensive dental examinations and personalized restorative care for patients in Kemah, TX.

Dental fillings can help restore the structure, appearance, and function of a tooth affected by decay. Before treatment, the dentist examines the tooth and may use dental X-rays when necessary to determine the extent of the decay. The decayed portion is then removed, and the resulting space is cleaned and restored with an appropriate filling material.

Composite resin is a popular option for patients who prefer a natural-looking restoration because it can be matched to the color of the surrounding tooth. Depending on the tooth and clinical situation, other restorative materials may also be considered. Your dentist can explain the available options and select a material based on the tooth's location, size of the restoration, and functional requirements.

Taking care of a filling is similar to caring for your natural teeth. Brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between the teeth, limiting frequent sugary foods and drinks, and maintaining regular dental visits can help protect your teeth from future decay. A filling repairs existing damage, but it does not prevent new cavities from developing.

If you notice tooth sensitivity, discomfort while chewing, or a visible dark spot or hole in a tooth, don't delay an examination. Kemah Family Dental can evaluate your oral health and determine whether a dental filling or another treatment is appropriate.
