Stop tooth decay with painless fillings
Even individuals with excellent dental hygiene habits can experience cavities. Although a small cavity may not be cause for major concern, it is important to address it promptly. If left untreated and undiagnosed, bacteria and decay can penetrate deeper into the tooth, potentially necessitating a crown, root canal, or even extraction.
When it comes to receiving a dental filling in Weatherford, Aesthetic Dentistry & Implants is the ideal choice. Our advanced detection tools, cutting-edge technology, and natural-looking filling materials ensure a comfortable and convenient experience. Additionally, we offer inlays and onlays for treating extensive areas of decay, as well as bonding treatments for individuals with cosmetic concerns such as chips and cracks.
Fillings, bonding, inlays & onlays — what’s the difference?
Dental Fillings
Dental fillings are primarily intended as a health-related treatment to address and prevent the spread of decay, although they can also have cosmetic benefits.
Dental Bonding
Bonding, a cosmetic procedure, involves attaching or "bonding" materials directly to your tooth to alter its color and shape. It is commonly considered a long-lasting and cost-effective alternative to veneers.
Inlays & Onlays
An inlay is a solid piece used to fill a cavity that is too big for a regular filling. On the other hand, an onlay is larger than an inlay but smaller than a dental crown. It is also a solid piece, but it covers the entire cusp of the tooth, not just the space in between.
