If you have a cavity, your Georgetown dentist may treat it immediately or monitor it (if it's little). A huge cavity may enlarge and become painful if left unfilled. It could even be necessary to extract the tooth and have a fake, or artificial, one in its place.
The optimal filling type for your situation will be determined by our skilled Georgetown dentist, who will also explain the cosmetic and financial effects of each kind. Although there are a variety of fillings available to treat cavities, you alone have the ultimate say over which kind is put in your mouth.
Following the removal of decay by your Georgetown dentist, these types of fillings are placed directly into the cavity. Direct fillings include amalgam (often known as silver) and plastic (sometimes known as white) fillings. They solidify rapidly. In the majority of cases, a direct filling may be placed in a single visit.
Crowns (also known as caps) and inlays are two examples of indirect filling. They are created in a lab specifically to suit your tooth. The filling is cemented in place by your Georgetown dentist. It usually takes two or more sessions to accomplish indirect fillings.
