When you need a filling
A cavity is a small hole in your tooth caused by decay. Left alone, it grows and can reach the nerve. Tooth-colored fillings in Salt Lake City repair the cavity and bring back the tooth's strength, while blending in with your smile.
Signs to watch for
- Sensitivity to sweets, hot or cold
- A dark spot or hole you can see or feel
- Food that keeps getting stuck in one spot
- A twinge when you bite down
How it works
We numb the area, remove the decay and fill the space with a tooth-colored composite material shaped to fit your bite. You'll know what we're doing at every step, and you can ask us to pause any time.
If a cavity is too large for a filling, we may suggest a crown instead.
