Pain Free Cavity Treatment in Richmond

Complete Care for a Strong and Healthy Smile

Most people will experience a cavity at some point, even with consistent brushing and flossing. Plaque and bacteria can still build up and lead to tooth decay. When decay is not treated early, it continues to spread and can eventually require more complex procedures, including root canals or extractions.

At Nu Dentistry Richmond, we focus on early, proactive care. Our team treats decay quickly and comfortably using natural-looking dental fillings that restore strength and protect your smile.

Common signs you may have a cavity:

  • White or brown spots on the tooth
  • Ongoing tooth sensitivity
  • Pain when chewing
  • Persistent bad breath
  • Visible pits or holes in the tooth

Using modern diagnostic tools, we make your treatment as smooth and efficient as possible. Whether you are here for a routine exam or an emergency visit, we are ready to help.

Do not wait for the pain to worsen. Schedule your appointment today.

TOOTH DECAY TREATMENT Richmond, TX

Understanding the Stages of Tooth Decay

Early Detection Leads to Better Outcomes

Stage 1: Demineralization

Early decay appears as chalky white spots on the enamel. At this stage, fluoride treatments and good hygiene can reverse the damage.

Stage 2: Enamel Decay

Bacteria break through the enamel and a small cavity forms. It must be treated with a filling to prevent further damage.

Stage 3: Dentin Decay

Decay reaches the dentin layer, which is softer and more sensitive. Pain or sensitivity often begins at this point.

Stage 4: Pulp Infection

The infection reaches the inner pulp where the tooth’s nerves and blood vessels are located. This stage often requires a root canal to save the tooth.

Stage 5: Abscess Formation

A painful abscess forms when the infection spreads beyond the tooth. Immediate care is essential to protect your overall health.

TOOTH FILLING Richmond, TX

What to Expect During a Dental Filling

A Simple and Comfortable Way to Restore Your Smile

Cavities are straightforward to treat when addressed early. At Nu Dentistry Richmond, we use modern tools and gentle techniques to keep your appointment smooth and stress-free.

Your filling appointment includes:
1. Numbing the Area
Local anesthesia keeps the tooth fully comfortable. We also offer tools like Dentapen and DentalVibe for a gentler numbing experience.
2. Removing the Decay
We carefully clean and disinfect the decayed portion of the tooth to prevent further damage.
3. Filling the Tooth
A tooth colored composite resin is applied in layers and cured with a special light. This creates a natural-looking restoration that strengthens the tooth.
4. Shaping and Polishing
The filling is adjusted to fit your bite and polished to blend with your natural enamel.

Our goal is to restore your tooth with a durable and seamless result that feels completely natural.

FAQs

Providing Clarity on Common Queries

  • Some cavities cause obvious symptoms, while others develop quietly. The best way to catch decay early is through routine dental exams. Signs you might notice include increased sensitivity, pain when chewing, dark spots on the tooth, or a visible hole. If you experience any of these symptoms, schedule a visit as soon as possible.

  • The lifespan of a filling depends on the material used and your daily oral habits. Composite fillings often last several years with proper care, while other materials may last even longer. Regular checkups allow us to monitor the condition of your fillings and make sure they remain in good shape.

  • Yes. Decay can occur around or beneath an older filling, especially if it has chipped or separated from the tooth. Routine dental visits help us identify early changes and treat the problem before it becomes more serious.

  • There are several restoration options available. Composite resin is the most common choice for a natural appearance, but gold and porcelain restorations are also used in certain cases. Each option has unique benefits. During your visit, we will discuss the choice that best suits your tooth, your goals, and your long term oral health.
