Tooth Cavity Treatment Vancouver

Cavities are very common but luckily they are preventable and treatable!

Cavities can result in tooth loss, which can lead to severe oral complications. For this reason, learning how to catch them, prevent them, and treat them is important.

Causes

  • Improper brushing and flossing
  • Poor overall oral hygiene
  • High sugar and starch content in diet
  • Smoking and drug use
  • Low fluoride
  • Dry mouth

Treatment

Your dentist may recommend a couple of options based on the size of your cavity. For smaller cavities, a dental filling may be installed. This process involves a composite material that replaces the decayed tooth to improve health, functionality, and appearance of the affected and surrounding teeth. Larger cavities may require a dental crown to surround and protect the affected tooth after the decay has been removed.

Prevention

  • Maintain a proper oral hygiene routine including good brushing and flossing techniques
  • Eat a balanced diet and lower sugar and starch intakes
  • See your dentist for regular checkups/cleanings

Dr. Phillips has taken a particular interest in aesthetic and laser dentistry over the years, taking advanced training courses in a variety of areas. He has been mentored by oral surgeon Dr. Ken Blankstein, and now performs most of his own surgical extractions.

Additional Information About Cavity Treatment in Vancouver

Cavities are a common dental issue that can lead to serious oral health problems if left untreated. At our practice in Vancouver, we offer comprehensive cavity treatment to help you maintain a healthy and pain-free smile. Whether you have a small cavity or need more extensive treatment, we are here to provide you with personalized care.

What is Cavity Treatment?

Cavity treatment involves removing decayed portions of the tooth and restoring its structure and function with a filling, crown, or other dental restoration. Early detection and treatment of cavities can prevent more serious dental issues and preserve your natural teeth.

How Does Cavity Treatment Work?

The cavity treatment process at our practice in Vancouver is straightforward and effective:

  1. Diagnosis: During your routine check-up, we use digital X-rays and thorough examination techniques to detect cavities early.
  2. Anesthesia: To ensure your comfort, we administer local anesthesia to numb the affected area.
  3. Decay Removal: The decayed portion of the tooth is carefully removed, preventing further damage.
  4. Restoration: The tooth is restored using a filling, inlay, onlay, or crown, depending on the extent of the decay. This restores the tooth’s function and appearance.

“My family and I have been patients of Dr. Aliakbari for over two decades, and we couldn’t be happier with the care we’ve received. I have a lot of dental anxiety, but he is always incredibly gentle, patient, and reassuring, making every visit stress-free. He takes the time to explain everything and ensures I’m comfortable throughout the appointment. The secretary is also very accommodating and makes scheduling a breeze. If you're looking for a skilled and compassionate dentist, I highly recommend Dr. Aliakbari!”

“I’ve never had bad experience at Granville Station dental. I’ve been patient since 2012, all staffs and doctors always have been nice. I’ve seen Dr.Alghabi for annual check normally, but recently I had filling came off so saw Dr.Hariri who was working on the weekend. He made sure if doesn’t feel good, I can even come next day to consult again. Another great experience. Thank you!”

“I’ve been seeing Michelle at Granville Dental for years now. Without a doubt the best CDA I’ve ever seen. Not only does she make me feel comfortable going to the dentist. But the least discomfort with any actual procedure that gets done. I would highly recommend her to everyone.”

“I have been a longtime patient here, for good reason. The staff are all super professional, friendly and helpful. The hygienists are fantastic and thorough, and the dentists are the best I have ever come across. I have never experienced any discomfort at any time with them when getting any sort of work done. I had a filling put in yesterday and I forgot about it this morning until I received a follow up email from them. Truly a great team!”
