Restorative Services

Our teeth are susceptible to cavities. If these cavities are not properly diagnosed and restored in timely fashion, it can have detrimental effect on the teeth. In other words cavities are infections of tooth material thus these has to be treated as soon as detected. Tooth colored filling is light cured composite restorative material that is filled after removing the infectious portion of tooth. It helps to stop the further progression of tooth decay leading to healthy tooth.

In the Oral cavity we have maximum of 32 teeth and each tooth has its own blood supply and nerve supply. Every tooth has outer enamel layer middle dentin and inner pulp. Dental pulp is the enclosed inside the tooth having all the blood & nerve supply. In the tooth decay progresses from outer to inner layer. When the progression of cavity reaches the pulp then the only treatment option left is Root Canal Treatment. In root canal as the name implies cleaning of the root canals is done then filling with the Gutta Parcha Material. It is the most acceptable treatment for the badly decayed teeth.

In cases when the decay is more, and filling with the composite may not solve the purpose, then infected portion of tooth is replaced with onlay or inlay depending upon the nature of decay. Onlay is laboratory fabricated material that is replaces the lost or decayed tooth matter.
