Cavities and Fillings

Ask us about Complimentary Whitening for life!

Cavities

One of the leading causes of cavities is the type of bacteria we get passed down from our family. Some people just have stronger bacteria that are less prone to giving you cavities. This means that getting cavities is somewhat a genetic or familial predisposition. Despite the predisposition, having excellent oral healthcare (brushing, flossing, etc.) can minimize the risk of getting a cavity.

However, most adults will develop at least one cavity during their lifetime, and unfortunately, untreated cavities can eventually lead to severe consequences. While dealing with a cavity can be inconvenient, it is far preferable to the alternative path which will end in a root canal. Luckily, as long as enough of the tooth is still intact, cavities can be repaired with fillings.

Fillings

We will use tooth-colored composite resin, an alternative to silver-colored amalgam that comes in various shades. By picking the right color and sculpting the material, we can help the filling blend right in with the natural structure. They look exactly like your teeth – many people have fillings, and you can’t even really tell what it is.
 
Additionally, since metal isn’t used, there’s no risk of the filling expanding and contracting when exposed to hot and cold foods.

Dr. Nate’s team is very thorough and know what they’re doing. I went in for a routine visit and walked out with a comprehensive evaluation of my oral health. They even gave me a recommendation for the multiple treatment options.

The entire staff is absolutely kind, compassionate, extremely attentive and want you to have a nice visit. The dental assistants are so sweet and really keep those of us that are afraid of the dentist calm. They explain everything that they are doing and work with you when you are on a budget.

I had a great experience at this facility! Everyone was kind and very friendly. The office is clean and it seemed like the team worked well together, which made me feel more comfortable. I loved how there were TVs not only on the walls, but also on the ceiling so I could continue watching TV during my exam & cleaning.
