Tooth decay usually occurs on the tops and sides of teeth. Quick corrective action is required to save as much of the natural tooth as possible. Tooth decay is remedied with invisible dental fillings which utilize materials that bond direct to the viable parts of the tooth once all decay is eradicated. They transform into hard, tooth-like substance that not only brings back the function of the affected tooth but puts the tooth back into health while looking completely natural.
As it pertains to the subject of dental fillings, technology continues to rapidly advance. Today's dental fillings are composed of the strongest and clinically proven materials available. However, just like your natural teeth, these dental fillings also require regular dental maintenance to offer a lifetime of service.
The invisible dental fillings we use in Hampton, VA are light-cured right in here in our office by your dentist. You are able to eat and drink normally as soon as the appointment is over. Another good thing about these dental fillings is that you can brush and floss the tooth with the filling just as how you would with your other teeth. It is imperative that you also seek regular check-ups with your dentist in order to check the status of your invisible dental filling particularly if it is still intact.
