One of the more common oral health issues discovered during scheduled cleanings is decay. Dr. Kurapati will examine suspect teeth using a dental probe, as well as take an X-ray to determine the extent and exact location of the cavity and decay.
Once it is determined that a restoration is needed, Dr. Kurapati will advise you of your options for filling and sealing the cavity to prevent further decay and damage to the tooth. Based on your medical history, location of the cavity, aesthetic needs, biting force, durability, cost, number of visits necessary and your preference, it is then that our team can decide which restorative option is your best option.
