Is A Loose Filling Bothering You?
You should be able to trust a dental filling to remain in place, even when it has to withstand the friction created when you bite and chew. When you have work done to address a cavity, the goal is to fully restore your tooth so that it remains healthy and continues to provide functional support. At our Sheridan, WY dentist’s office, we can even provide restorations that imitate your enamel and prevent cosmetic issues. If you have an older filling that no longer feels as secure and stable as it should, let us know. By ignoring the problem, you can make your tooth vulnerable to new issues that will have to be addressed. The sooner we can evaluate the matter and see what can be done to protect your smile, the sooner we can put potential new oral health issues behind you! (more…)
Improve Your Smile With Invisalign
