When decay rots away enamel, it creates a cavity. Left untreated, this decay can cause extensive tooth damage and potential root infection. If caught early, your dentist can treat it with a simple filling, typically in one appointment.

• Local Anesthetic: Ensures a pain-free experience.
• Decay Removal: Specialized tools are used to remove decay.
• Filling Application: Layers of filling are applied to prevent further decay and protect the tooth from cold, heat, or pressure.
• Hardening: Each layer is hardened with a special light.
• Shaping and Polishing: Final layers are shaped and polished to restore the tooth’s appearance and function.
