Dental cavities are one of the most common dental problems treated at TrueCare Dentistry in Cary, NC. While cavities are extremely common in children, patients of all ages can develop cavities if they do not maintain an effective home dental care routine or make poor dietary choices.

Making regular visits to the Cary dental office of Dr. Patrick Lawrence for comprehensive dental exams can detect tooth decay before it develops into a cavity or causes other serious dental problems. During your visit, our dentists will examine your teeth and utilize our digital x-ray technology to detect cavities that may not be visible on the surface.

Treatment depends on the severity of the cavity, and in general, most cavities can be fixed with a filling. Patients that come to our Raleigh-area dental office for their cavity treatment will benefit from tooth-colored fillings that are virtually unnoticeable and long-lasting. For more serious dental cavities, porcelain crowns can be used to repair damage and restore the integrity of the tooth’s structure and function.
