Dental Fillings in Willimantic
Dental fillings are one of the most often performed dental procedures. That happens to be because cavities are among the most common dental ailments. Most people will experience at least one cavity in their lifetime and in order to treat this condition you will need to have the cavity filled. Here with our dentist at Longobardi Dental you can choose between traditional amalgam fillings or newer composite fillings if you happen to need any
dental fillings in Willimantic.
You will probably know if you have a cavity, since they usually tend to exhibit noticeable, painful signs and symptoms. But cavities can go unnoticed, too, depending on where they are located. This is why it is always helpful and wise to schedule routine visits with your local dentist. Keeping up with regular dental exams and cleanings are integral when it comes to maintaining your overall dental health but it also provides your dentist with the opportunity to look for any issues or concerns, cavities and general tooth decay being one of them. When it comes to treating a cavity, it helps if it is addressed as soon as possible. If not, the tooth decay can spread. This can later infect the tooth root and pulp, depending on the tooth, or it may compromise the entire tooth itself and spread to adjacent teeth as well. Before a filling can be put into place, the decayed portion of the tooth needs to be removed before it can cause any further damage. Once our dentist here at Longobardi Dental had gotten rid of the decayed parts of the affected tooth and smoothed out the remaining clean cavity, it can be filled. Amalgam fillings are composed of a variety of metals, including silver and other materials. This sort of filling will also look silver in appearance as well. If you want a subtler filling, then you may want a composite filling instead. These fillings are made from a tooth colored resin that will blend in with the natural shade of your tooth and be much subtler in appearance. You may even be able to have an older amalgam filling replaced with a composite one of it is old and warped or if you simply want to change the appearance of the tooth. When it comes to
dental fillings in Willimantic, you have your choice of ether amalgam or composite.
If you need a dental filling and would like your choice of amalgam or composite fillings, then we here at Longobardi Dental can provide you with exactly what you want and need. You can meet with our dentist to have your cavity treated and to determine what filling material will work best for your needs and your preferences. Call us to schedule your appointment today.
