Dental Fillings
Fillings are dental treatments used to repair decayed or damaged teeth. When a tooth experiences decay, there is a formation of cavities or holes. If left untreated, these cavities can grow, leading to severe toothache, infection, and even tooth loss. During the filling procedure, the dentist will remove the decayed portion of the tooth and “fill” the area with a suitable material, such as composite resin, amalgam, gold, or ceramic. By sealing off spaces where bacteria can enter, fillings prevent further decay and strengthen the compromised tooth. Patients benefit from fillings as they restore the tooth’s function and appearance, eliminate tooth pain, and prevent further dental complications.
Root Canal Therapy
Root canals are therapeutic dental procedures aimed at treating the infected pulp of a tooth, thereby saving the tooth from extraction. When the inner chamber of a tooth becomes infected due to deep decay, fractures, or trauma, it can result in severe pain and swelling. In a root canal procedure, the dentist removes the infected pulp, cleans, and disinfects the canal, and then fills and seals the space. This treatment eliminates pain, swelling, and the spread of infection. Patients benefit from root canals as they preserve the natural tooth, prevent neighboring teeth from shifting, and restore full function and appearance.
Dental Crowns
Restore your cracked and damaged teeth with dental crowns, which are tooth-shaped “caps” that protect your tooth’s natural root and revitalize the function of your bite. As one of the most versatile restorative dental procedures, dental crowns can also be used to cover up a tooth after receiving a root canal or to cap a dental implant. Since dental crowns can be made from many materials, they are ideal for a variety of restorative and cosmetic applications at our Mesa practice, so you can smile with confidence.
