CAVITIES & FILLINGS

Nearly everyone gets at least one dental cavity in their life. Plaque, bacteria, and tartar can gradually build up on your smile even with great brushing and flossing habits. Over time, they will wear away at your tooth’s enamel, turning into tooth decay and eventually a painful cavity. The longer a cavity goes untreated, the greater the possibility of needing more intensive procedures, such as root canals or extractions. At Nu Dentistry Spring, our caring dentists waste no moment to take care of your decayed smile with a painless cavity filling. From the first tooth decay symptoms, our expert dental team is ready to get your smile back into shape and to full health. What does a cavity look like? While early tooth decay shows itself with white tooth spots, cavities cause those spots to darken and eventually form holes in the tooth’s surface. A toothache can appear, along with tooth sensitivity and chronic bad breath. Seeing our dentists as soon as possible allows us to help you get the cavity relief you need when you need it. Our dental office uses the latest tools and technology to not only ensure your treatment is a complete success but that it will be quick and painless too. Along with standard local anesthetic, we also have dental sedation to make your experience as relaxing and comfortable as possible. Even in a dental emergency, we want you to enjoy your time with us. Stay confident knowing you’re in the best hands for the job here in Spring. Don’t wait to get your painful cavity looked at by our incredible team!

Our dentists can treat your tooth cavity quickly and efficiently, so it isn't the end of the world (or your smile) if you get one. First, we’ll numb the area around your tooth, so your treatment is entirely painless. Our office employs special technologies like Dentapen and DentalVibe that make applying the local anesthetic more comfortable and relaxing than usual. From there, we can remove the decay using cutting-edge equipment and devices before sanitizing and filling your tooth. At Nu Dentistry Spring, our dentists take a cosmetic approach to all of our treatments. When we treat your cavities, we always want them to look and feel as good as they were at full health. We use dental composite color-matched to your tooth for our dental fillings. This ensures your repaired tooth looks just as natural as it did before. Composite resin is applied in layers, each hardened with a UV light until your tooth is fully remade. We’ll then reshape the filling so that your tooth’s shape and bite is precisely restored.
