Canton MI Dental Office
If you experience a sharp pain in your tooth when you are eating something sweet, it is very likely that you have a dental cavity. The good thing about having a dental cavity, if there is a good thing, is that it is generally very easy to have treated. However, if a cavity is allowed to progress for a long period of time, you may need to have more involved treatment at our
Canton MI dental office.
At our dental practice, Cavalier Family Dental, our dentist Dr. Joseph Gondoly, is able to provide excellent care when you need a dental filling. Sometimes a dental filling is very small, as the cavity may be confined to the surface layer of the tooth enamel. Other times cavities can run very deep into the tooth. In fact, if dental decay reaches the center of the tooth, you will need to have a root canal treatment. However, if you are not experiencing tooth pain when you eat something hot or cold, you most likely do not have this problem. When you come to our
Canton MI dental office for treatment, our dentist will be able to talk to you about your individual cavity situation, and let you know about the best way to treat it. If you need a dental filling, you will be happy to know that we offer two types of fillings at our office. We offer the traditional silver amalgam fillings as well as the tooth-colored composite fillings. Our dentist will make a recommendation on the type of filling to use once he determines the size and location of the cavity.
If you have a tooth that has a lot of fillings in it, the tooth may be at risk for cracking. Or, it simply may be unable to hold another dental filling. If there is a problem with an existing filling, or it is not possible to safely put in a new filling and leave the tooth alone, our dentist may recommend that after treatment for the cavity that the tooth is covered with a dental cap. A dental cap is often referred to as a dental crown. A dental cap is a porcelain tooth structure which is made to fully cover the tooth. The cap will perfectly match the adjacent teeth, and fully protect and strengthen the tooth. This way your tooth will be able to be restored to good health, and be protected as well.
