Dental Fillings and Restorations in Denver, CO

When a tooth has a small cavity, hole or chipped it can be repaired with a filling. The cavity is removed down to healthy tooth structure and a tooth colored composite filling or restoration is placed. If the cavity is too large the tooth may need a crown or even a root canal. Some signs that you may have a cavity are: mild sensitivity to cold/hot, mild sensitivity when chewing or a visible hole in the tooth. As fillings age they can breakdown (the oral environment is a harsh place) and they will need to be replaced every so often.

Why Fillings May Need Replacement

Fillings can wear down over time due to the natural conditions in your mouth. It’s important to have regular dental exams so your dentist can check the condition of your fillings and replace them as needed to maintain your oral health.
