Cavity Treatments and Restorations in Houston, TX

Restore Your Smile with Expert Dental Care

Cavities are a common dental issue, but with the right care, you can stop decay in its tracks and restore your teeth to full health. At Houston Dental Implants and Prosthodontics, we provide advanced cavity treatments and restorative solutions to protect your teeth and enhance your smile.

Whether it’s a simple filling or a more comprehensive restoration, our team has the expertise and technology to deliver long-lasting results.

What Are Cavities?

Cavities are small holes or areas of decay that develop when plaque and bacteria erode the protective enamel layer of your teeth. Without treatment, cavities can lead to:

Tooth sensitivity
Pain and discomfort
Infections
Tooth loss

Early detection and prompt treatment are key to preventing further damage and maintaining your oral health.

Expert Cavity Treatments at Houston Dental Implants and Prosthodontics

We offer a range of treatments tailored to the stage and severity of your cavity. Our goal is to preserve as much of your natural tooth structure as possible while restoring your smile.

1. Dental Fillings

For small to moderate cavities, we use durable and natural-looking materials like composite resin to fill the affected area. Our tooth-colored fillings blend seamlessly with your smile.

2. Inlays and Onlays

For larger cavities or damage that doesn’t require a full crown, inlays and onlays provide a custom-fit restoration that strengthens the tooth and restores its function.

3. Dental Crowns

If a cavity has caused significant damage, a dental crown may be necessary. Crowns completely cover the damaged tooth, providing strength, protection, and a natural appearance.

4. Root Canal Therapy

When decay reaches the pulp of the tooth, root canal therapy is required to remove the infected tissue and save the tooth. Our gentle and precise approach ensures a comfortable experience.

Find out how root canal therapy can save your tooth.

5. Dental Implants for Severe Decay

In cases where a tooth is beyond saving, we offer dental implants as a permanent, natural-looking replacement option.
