When a patient has a cavity, for example, or a chipped tooth, tooth fillings can easily replicate the structure and the function of the tooth instantly. If they chipped a tooth, you know, biting into ice. A lot of patients have a habit of biting ice.
We don’t advise them, but they do it. And they broke off a part of the tooth. Now, having this sensitive tooth can be painful, where they would avoid brushing, they would avoid eating, they’ll eat on other side, and that can lead to another broken tooth.
But we simply can easily fix a problem. As easy as filling the tooth, replacing the broken part of the tooth for resin or metal filling, depending on the type of structure that we’re trying to restore. Tooth fillings are an easy procedure to replace the structure and the function, and give them the smile back right away.
