Cavities are a common dental concern that affect people of all ages. The good news is that they’re also preventable with regular brushing, flossing, avoiding excessive sugary foods, and visiting your dentist regularly. At Indian Trail Dental Studio, our doctors are committed to providing a well-rounded approach in treating current and preventing all future cavities. Here’s what you should know about cavities and dental fillings before scheduling your routine dental check-up with one of our trusted dentists.
While having a cavity in a tooth may cause pain or sensitivity, having a cavity filled shouldn’t be painful at all. With the help of a local anesthetic that will keep the surrounding area of your infected tooth numb, the cavity filling process should be virtually pain-free from start to finish.
Having your cavity filled at Indian Trail Dental Studio is a simple general dental treatment. Here’s what you can expect during your appointment:
Having a tooth pulled should be a completely painless procedure. We will ensure that your mouth is completely numb before working on your mouth and will make sure that you are as relaxed and comfortable as possible until your treatment is complete.
The entire process of having a cavity filled depends on the extent of the decay but it usually takes under an hour , including the explanation of the procedure to its completion. The numbing of your targeted site of the mouth may last a bit longer but should resolve on its own within an hour or so.
Absolutely! Your mouth may be numb but you should be capable of driving. As always, you are more than welcome to bring a family member along if you feel the need.
Most dental insurance companies will cover at least part of the cost of a dental filling. The cost of your dental filling will depend on what your dental insurance plan includes. Please contact our office for information on your particular dental insurance policy.
At Indian Trail Dental Studio, the health of your smile is our top priority. If you have a cavity, it’s best to treat it as soon as possible, before it becomes more painful and difficult to treat. Fortunately, Dr. Patel and Dr. Hysa have extensive experience in dental fillings and are happy to explain each step to you prior to completion.
