Cavities are one of the most common dental issues, developing when bacteria erode the protective enamel of your teeth. At Hayes Barton Dentistry, Dr. Hunt treats cavities using tooth-colored fillings made from durable composite resin. These fillings restore the function of your teeth and blend seamlessly with your natural enamel for a discreet and long-lasting solution.
In addition to treating new cavities, we can replace old metal fillings with composite resin for improved reliability and a more natural look. If you’re experiencing tooth sensitivity or suspect you have a cavity, schedule a consultation with Dr. Hunt to explore your treatment options.
Receiving a filling at Hayes Barton Dentistry is typically a quick and straightforward procedure.
The area around the cavity will be numbed with a local anesthetic to ensure your comfort. Once you’re prepared, Dr. Hunt will carefully remove the decayed enamel using advanced dental tools chosen based on the location and size of the cavity. After the decay is cleared and the area disinfected, the cavity will be filled with composite resin and hardened with a specialized curing light.
After the filling material is set, Dr. Hunt will polish and shape it to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. You can resume your regular routine immediately following the procedure. Any discomfort can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
