My Tooth Doesn’t Hurt
Do I Need Restorative Treatment?
Teeth that are damaged don’t always hurt. A deep cavity may not cause a toothache, and some advanced tooth infections may not cause any discomfort. A cracked or chipped tooth may not feel painful after your injury, so you might not seek restorative treatment right away.
However, just because a tooth doesn’t hurt now doesn’t mean it won’t hurt in the future. When left untreated, issues like cavities and broken teeth can become infected and very painful.
Getting restorative care as soon as possible is the best way to keep your smile healthy and strong, and to minimize the risk of future complications that will cause you more pain and cost you both time and money.
Restore Decayed Teeth
Fillings
If you think that you have a cavity, you need to get help right away. If you do not get treatment for your cavity with a filling, it may grow larger and require a more expensive, time-consuming procedure like a dental crown, or even root canal therapy.
A filling is the best way to keep your smile healthy and strong. Dr. Tath will gently remove the damaged enamel and replace it with a composite, tooth-colored filling, restoring the natural shape and function of your tooth while preventing further decay.
Repair Damaged Teeth
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are made of a strong ceramic material that looks and feels just like your natural enamel. They are designed to completely cover up and replace your damaged tooth, all the way down to the gum line.
Dental crowns are the best option for restoring teeth that have been damaged by serious decay, and for repairing teeth that have been cracked or broken by a dental injury. They are also commonly used to restore teeth after root canal therapy.

Save Infected Teeth
Root Canal Therapy
If you have a deep, extensive cavity that destroys the outer layers of your tooth or your tooth is damaged by oral trauma, your tooth can become infected and require root canal therapy. Without treatment, your condition will only get worse, and your tooth may even die.
In this treatment, a small opening will be made in the outer layers of the tooth. Dr. Tath will then remove the decayed pulp from the inside of your tooth before gently cleaning the opening. The tooth is then filled and covered up with a dental filling or a crown to keep it strong.
