Dental Fillings in Hempstead, NY

Kane Dental Care provides dental fillings procedures to help rebuild and restore the full health of cavitated teeth. A routine of brushing and flossing can keep your pearly whites, gum tissue, and general oral health in optimal condition. However, when poor oral hygiene persists, you will likely have concerns like worn down enamel due to mouth acids, decay, cavities, and gum disease.

Different options for repairing the teeth are available when cavities develop, including fluoride treatment for cavities that have just formed, crowns, fillings, and even extractions. Dental fillings in Hempstead, NY are opted for when cavities have yet to advance too much to necessitate crowning.

Kinds of Dental Fillings We Provide

Our dentists near you provide traditional amalgam fillings and white fillings.

Amalgam fillings are still a choice because of their strength and longevity. They can withstand the chewing force exhibited by teeth. However, many people are now considering white-colored fillings, first because of their aesthetic look and second because they, too, can counter the biting and chewing forces.

Composite fillings – These white fillings are ideal for small cavities. They are custom-fabricated to the precise color of your teeth, giving them a natural-looking appearance.

Porcelain fillings are also white–colored but made of ceramic and plastic material. Porcelain fillings are also called inlays; onlays are custom-made in a lab. They are stain-resistant and ideal for large cavities. People who grind may also find porcelain fillings a great choice because of their strength.
