How we fix cavities

Dental Cavities - Checking for Tooth Decay

Cavities happen when bacteria that live on your teeth slowly eat away at the calcium in your teeth, causing a hole in your tooth that is filled with bacteria.

We will happily remove the decay from your affected teeth and fill your tooth in with proven, quality materials, it is important to jointly figure out what’s causing your cavities so that they don’t come back!

Contrary to popular belief, fillings don’t cure cavities – in order to stop the cavities from coming back, it’s important to figure out what’s causing the decay and then removing that cause.  I’ve never believed in the “Drill, Fill, and Bill” concept when it comes to dentistry.  We can work with you to help pinpoint the cause of your tooth decay and give you the knowledge and materials you need to keep the cavities from returning.
