What Is a Cavity?

A cavity is a hole in the tooth caused by decay. It forms when bacteria in your mouth produce acid that breaks down the enamel. Left untreated, cavities can progress deeper into the tooth, leading to pain, infection, or even tooth loss.

Early detection and treatment are key to preserving your natural tooth and avoiding more complex procedures.

Signs You Might Have a Cavity

• Tooth sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods
• Visible holes or dark spots on the tooth
• Mild to sharp toothache
• Pain when chewing or biting
• Bad breath or a bad taste in the mouth

Our Cavity Treatment Process

1. Dental Examination & Digital Imaging

We begin with a gentle check-up and, if needed, digital X-rays to determine the size and depth of the cavity.

2. Tooth-Colored Fillings

For small to medium cavities, we remove the decayed portion of the tooth and restore it using composite resin that matches your natural tooth color.

• No metal
• Minimally invasive
• Looks and feels natural

3. Inlays, Onlays, or Crowns (For Larger Cavities)

If the cavity is too large for a standard filling, we may recommend an inlay, onlay, or crown to restore the tooth’s shape and function while preventing future damage.

4. Prevention Guidance

We help you avoid future cavities through tailored oral hygiene advice, dietary tips, and fluoride options if needed.
