Dental caries (tooth decay or cavity) is one of the most common dental health problems.
Tooth decay is a permanently damaged area in the hard surface of the tooth, frequent snacking and sipping of sugary drinks increase the risk of dental caries.
If cavities are not treated, they get larger and affect deeper layers of your teeth. It can lead to severe toothache, infection and ultimately in advanced stages, it might not be possible to save the tooth. Regular dental visits and good brushing and flossing habits go a long way toward preventing tooth decay.
Fillings
Today, many patients want to remove their amalgam fillings (silver colored filling). The alternative is SonicFill™ which is designed to enable excellent gloss, color-matching, wear resistance and strength to make filling even easier and more reliable.
Besides using SonicFill™ for fillings, it can also be used for cosmetic improvement of your smile, by changing the color of teeth or by reshaping teeth which have lost their normal shape because of grinding.
Advantages with SonicFill™ fillings include:
- Good aesthetics.
- They cost less than porcelain inlays.
- They are done in one dental appointment.
