If your teeth are suffering from damage caused by tooth decay, it is essential that you restore it to prevent extensive damage that could ultimately lead to the loss of the tooth.
Spring Branch TX dentist Dr. Jairo Chavez and his dental team work hard to try and teach preventative measures that help patients protect their teeth and smile, but sometimes home dental hygiene is not maintained and or patients fail to come in for regular six-month checkups. Failure to clean your mouth and get it checked every half-year can lead to the buildup of tartar and calculus—harmful agents that can cause tooth decay. Symptoms can include pain or sensitivity when eating or drinking, and an inability to bite without soreness. Dr. Chavez has been helping patients in the greater Spring Branch, Boerne, Bulverde, Blanco, and Canyon Lake areas for many years, so you know that he has what it takes to get the job done right.
If you think you may have a cavity that requires a dental filling, please call us at: 830-461-6655 or schedule an appointment online for a dental exam and consultation.
Why should I get my cavities filled?
It is important to get any cavities filled as soon as possible so that the decay doesn’t spread or worsen. The longer a cavity goes unfilled, the more likely the damage can reach a non-reversible point—possibly even leading to tooth root decay, which may only be fixable through a root canal.
Your Spring Branch TX dentist offers natural-looking fillings that provide a powerful seal around the infected area, helping to prevent the recurrence of decay in the area without the noticeable grey metal.
How do you place fillings?
Before Dr. Chavez can place a filling, we must first clean out the decayed area and remove any infected fragments. By removing and then sealing the decay, we can help prevent it from returning.
Once the area has been cleaned, your Spring Branch TX dentist will fill the hole with a filling material that looks like the color of your natural tooth.
