Tooth Decayed are a painful condition caused by some factors that reduce our quality of life. Cavities cause bad breath, unbearable pain, affect the appearance of our teeth. If not treated early, it can lead to tooth extractions.
Filling: A treatment method applied in cases where the cavity is detected in the early stage and has not progressed too far. The tooth where the decay has occurred is numbed with a local anesthesia method before the procedure.
The bruised area is cleaned with the help of special devices and made ready for filling. The process ends by applying a filler to the cleaned area.
Root Canal Treatment: It is used when the cavity has spread to the nerves of the tooth. The aim is to save the person’s own tooth and stop the decay.
Before the application, the cavitated part of the tooth is anesthetized with local anesthesia and cleaned with special devices. The damaged nerves are killed so that the person can return to their standard of living with less sensitivity and less damage. The area is closed with filling material, and the process is ended.
Tooth Extraction: In dental treatments, patients’ teeth are primarily tried to be saved. However, in cases where the tooth cannot be saved and the decay may spread to other teeth, the tooth is extracted, and the treatment is ended. After the tooth extraction, if desired, the implant treatment or prosthetic tooth is used to treat the problems that may arise from the tooth deficiency as close as possible to the original tooth.
Veneer: In cases of decay and staining, especially in front teeth, filling application on the tooth can cause image disorders.
In this case, the preferred dental veneer treatment is, after the cavitated front teeth or teeth have been cleaned from decay and the application is possible, a mold is taken and the veneer of the appropriate color and size is produced.
The produced veneer is bonded to the prepared area with special adhesive material to provide the closest performance and image to the patient’s original teeth.
