Cavities are perhaps the most common problem dentists treat in both adults and children. Caught early enough, your Battle Creek, Michigan dentist can keep decay from causing serious harm to your teeth. At the office of Dr. Khalid Sajjad, we treat decay with composite dental fillings. Dr. Sajjad will remove the decay and apply a composite filling to relieve your pain, stop the decay, and restore your oral health.Â
People often don’t realize how much harm a cavity can cause. Although cavities start small, without treatment, they will continue to grow until they have infected the pulp of your tooth and destroyed the blood vessels and nerves. At this stage, you’re at risk of losing your tooth.Â
Using composite dental fillings, Dr. Sajjad can stop decay and preserve your smile. We’ll remove the decayed part of your tooth and fill the hole left by the cavity with composite resin material. A composite filling will repair your tooth, protect it from future decay, and restore its structure so it can continue to be used. With proper care, your filling can last up to 10 years.
Composite tooth-colored fillings are a mixture of resin material and powdered glass. Their white color makes them an excellent choice for treating decay, as the filling doesn’t stand out when you smile. A composite filling in a front tooth will maintain your smile as the filling will blend right in. Decay on visible teeth can be treated discreetly with composite tooth-colored fillings.Â
