Through regular checkups, Dr. White can detect whether you have a cavity that needs to be filled. Cavities are tooth decay that can be discovered through dental examinations and x-rays.
Dr. White, a family dentist, has performed hundreds of fillings. A filling is a way to close off the space after the decay from the tooth is extracted. The space is then filled with a metal alloy or composite resin so that bacteria can no longer enter, preventing further decay of the tooth. Fillings restore your tooth back to its normal function and shape.
Composite Fillings (see Composite Fillings)
Composite fillings are newer than amalgam fillings and are constantly improving. It is used primarily in cosmetic dentistry. The composite resin is about the consistency of modeling clay. In order for the composite to harden, a bright blue light is used. Through a series of chemical reactions, the composite resin hardens into a very strong material that looks very much like a natural tooth.
Dr. White, a family dentist, will consult with you to advise on which filling is right for your teeth. A family dentist knows your family’s dental history. Dr. White maintains relationships with his patients to assure their teeth stay healthy throughout their life.
