Cavity Treatment

Cavity treatment that preserves your tooth instead of extracting it —
prevention and preservation are our top priority.

CARIES TREATMENT

What Is Cavity Treatment?

Early treatment is essential. After removing the decay, we fill the cavity with a
biocompatible dental material to protect the remaining tooth structure — that's what cavity treatment involves. Once a cavity forms, it cannot heal on its own, so early detection and treatment are strongly recommended.

Cavity Treatment That Preserves Your Tooth Instead of Extracting It

Because the pain from a cavity isn't constant — it comes and goes — patients often put off dental visits.
However, cavities are highly contagious and can decay neighboring teeth
or even reach the nerve, so treatment as soon as it's discovered is strongly recommended. The more advanced a cavity becomes, the more tooth structure needs to be removed and the higher the treatment cost,
so getting appropriate treatment early is essential.

Different Types of Cavities

Enamel Cavity

A cavity in the
outer enamel layer, with almost no pain.

Resin Filling
Dentin Cavity

The cavity has progressed to the dentin beneath the enamel, causing sensitivity to hot or cold foods.

Inlay
Pulpitis

Inflammation has spread to the nerve inside the dentin, causing severe,
nearly unbearable pain.

Root Canal + Crown
Pulp Necrosis

The tissue inside the tooth has died, and inflammation around the root
gradually causes bone loss.
