During each of our patient’s regular checkups, Dr. Don Walley and Dr. Glenda Walley search for signs of tooth decay and other dental problems. One of the most common problems our office finds is cavities. While many patients suffer from cavities, it is still important to address this problem quickly.
Though they are also used to treat injured teeth, dental fillings are the most common way to treat cavities. Cavities are small portions of the tooth that have been weakened by tooth decay. Without treatment, small cavities can spread, infect other areas of the tooth and cause serious damage. During a filling treatment, our dentists will remove the damaged or decayed tissue and clean the area. This area can then be “filled” in with a biocompatible material. Our dentists can then shape this material so it blends in and looks natural. Finally, the material is cured and hardened so it can last for years to come.
Visit our office for a consultation or an appointment for dental fillings in Counce, Tennessee, and surrounding areas, including Savannah and Adamsville, Tennessee, and Corinth and Iuka, Mississippi. Depending on the patient and the damage to their teeth, our dentists may recommend a dental filling or another dental restoration.
