At O’Fallon Dental Works, your smile is our priority. We understand that dental procedures can sometimes seem daunting or mysterious. That’s why we’re here to shed light on the intricacies of various treatments, from routine fillings to more complex procedures like root canals and extractions.
Fillings
Fillings are one of the most common dental procedures, typically used to repair cavities caused by decay. In this procedure, our adept dentists will extract the decayed portion of the tooth and fill it with a durable material like composite resin or amalgam. Our in-depth guide will walk you through the process step by step, ensuring you feel informed and confident about your treatment.
Root Canals
Root canals are often misunderstood but are essential for saving a severely decayed or infected tooth. Contrary to popular belief, root canals are not painful; in fact, they alleviate the intense pain caused by infected dental pulp. Our detailed guide will explain how root canals work, what to expect during the procedure and how to care for your tooth afterward.
Extractions
While we always strive to preserve natural teeth whenever possible, there are instances where tooth extraction is necessary. Whether due to severe decay, trauma, or overcrowding, extractions can improve your overall oral health and prevent further complications. Our comprehensive guide will discuss the different types of extractions, the procedure itself and post-extraction care tips for a smooth recovery.
