White Fillings
In McMurray, PA

Why do dentists want to fill cavities? What happens if you simply leave a cavity alone?

The answers to both questions are decay and infection. If cavities -- also known as dental caries -- are not filled, the area of decay is likely to expand. The decay may even infiltrate the inner portions of the tooth and cause infection to spread throughout the mouth or bloodstream.

For these reasons, it's important that you have any cavity filled promptly. But you don’t have to be stuck with an obvious and unsightly silver, or amalgam, filling. Omni Dental offers composite fillings made of a durable, tooth-colored material. These fillings help to stop decay, and they're practically invisible.

Dental fillings are mainly used for health reasons to treat and stop decay, but they can also improve the appearance of teeth.

Bonding is a cosmetic procedure where materials are attached directly to your tooth to change its color and shape. It is often seen as a durable and affordable option compared to veneers.

An inlay is a solid piece used to fill a large cavity, while an onlay is larger than an inlay but smaller than a dental crown. It covers the entire cusp of the tooth, not just the space in between.
