Unlike cosmetic dentistry, which focuses mainly on appearance, restorative dentistry ensures that your teeth not only look their best but also function properly for everyday life.
A dental cavity is a small hole in a tooth caused by tooth decay. This happens when bacteria in the mouth mix with food and saliva to form plaque, which produces acids that eat away at tooth enamel.
Cavities usually begin in the outer layer of the tooth and can spread into the softer inner layer. This is often when people start to notice pain or sensitivity with hot, cold, or sweet foods and drinks.
The good news is that a dentist can detect cavities early, often before pain begins. Cavities can be spotted with a dental instrument or an X-ray, especially if they form between teeth.
When treating a cavity, your dentist will begin by numbing the area with local anesthesia. Then, the decayed portion of the tooth is carefully removed using a dental drill or laser, along with any weakened enamel.
Next, the cavity is restored with a dental filling—also called dental bonding material. There are two common types of fillings:
