Tooth Cavities
At Smyrna Dental Studio, we help patients prevent and treat tooth cavities in Smyrna, GA, ensuring long-term oral health. Cavities, also known as dental caries, occur when bacteria produce acids that erode tooth enamel, leading to decay and potential discomfort if left untreated.
Tooth Cavity Treatment Options
Dental Fillings
For minor to moderate cavities, tooth-colored fillings in Smyrna restore the tooth's structure and prevent further decay.
Dental Crowns
For large cavities or weakened teeth, dental crowns in Smyrna provide added protection and strength.
Root Canal Therapy
If decay reaches the tooth’s pulp, root canal treatment in Smyrna can save the tooth by removing the infected tissue.
Tooth Extraction
For severe cases where the tooth cannot be saved, tooth extractions in Smyrna may be necessary to prevent further infection.
