Get Repairs That Blend In
Stop Cavities With Tooth Filling Options in Beverly, MA
Composite-based fillings remove decay and restore your tooth in a single visit. Treating a small amount of decay in the early stages is more convenient and affordable. Left untreated, that same cavity can deepen and require more involved care. Our tooth filling options in Beverly will blend in with your smile without the use of obvious metal. Our team also checks for early signs of decay during every routine exam. We'll catch problems as quickly as possible for early treatment. Contact us right away if you suspect you have a cavity.
See the Benefits of Tooth-Colored Fillings
A tooth-colored filling is a restoration that looks lifelike and provides practical benefits. We use composite fillings exclusively. You'll appreciate:
- Lifelike Material - Your dentist matches the composite resin to the shade of your surrounding teeth. Your filling blends in so well that most people won't notice it at all.
- Simpler Repairs - Composite filling repairs typically keep more tooth structure intact. They are also more convenient than metal fillings at replacement time. Metal fillings must be removed when they need to be replaced.
- Flexible Fit - Tooth-colored fillings can repair any tooth, including front teeth. You won't have to worry about appearance.
- Mercury-Free Options - Amalgam fillings contain trace amounts of mercury. Questions about exposure have lingered for years. Composite fillings eliminate that concern.
Restore Your Smile With the Right Treatment
Decay affects every tooth differently. Treatment should reflect that. Our personalized approach to restorative care means we address the full extent of the damage while preserving your smile. Your dentist may recommend:
- Inlays and Onlays - You may need an inlay or onlay for cavities that are too large to be repaired with a filling. They restore the damaged area while keeping more of your tooth intact than a crown.
- Dental Crowns - Severe decay, significant cracks, or structural compromise call for a crown. This full coverage restores the strength, shape, and function of your tooth.
- Root Canal Therapy - When infection reaches the pulp at the center of the tooth, root canal therapy removes it before it can spread further. The procedure relieves pain and allows the natural tooth to be saved.
- Tooth Extractions - If a tooth is beyond saving, our team performs an extraction with care and precision. We'll walk you through tooth replacement options so your smile stays complete.
