I had traditional braces and he just like every month when I came in just made sure that everything was going good and changed my wires. And originally I had a tooth in the middle of my mouth and then I … it’s now in the front and everything. It was really smooth. Like I thought it was going to be very crazy because my teeth were awful, but he actually made it really smooth and it went a little bit longer than we thought but that’s because things came up that we didn’t know were going to come up and like I had baby teeth that had never fallen out so he had to pull those.
And so I think it just was like it went longer but they came out better because it went longer. In the beginning I didn’t want to take pictures. My dad had printed a picture on a blanket for my mouth. I was like, “No, that’s not going to work.” I don’t like smile and now like I’m always smiling and I’m a lot more happier and confident like in school or in public.
I would recommend here because they are just always so nice and everything they do comes out fantastic. You won’t regret coming because they’re … they tell you if something’s going to hurt and usually nine times out of 10 it doesn’t hurt. You don’t feel anything. If you’re looking for somewhere where you’re going to be relaxed, calm and everybody’s nice, this is a really nice place to come to.
Tooth fillings are the simplest form of restorative dentistry. Given that more than 90 percent of people will develop cavities, it’s also one of the most common services that we provide. Our team in Crown Point, IN would love it if you never needed a filling, but if you do, we want you to know the benefits of getting one.
1. Fillings let you eat without pain
Tooth decay can make your teeth more sensitive to hot, cold, and sweet food and drinks. In the process of getting a filling, the decay is removed from your teeth. Then, the filling rebuilds the tooth so you can bite and chew without pain or problems.
2. Fillings restore your natural-looking smile
For a long time, metal fillings were your only option. Today, we offer fillings made with composite resin. This can be shaded to match the natural color of your tooth. This way, the filling blends in with the rest of your teeth, so you do not need to feel self-conscious about sharing your smile.
3. Fillings can prevent further problems
Last but not least, getting a filling offers a level of protection for your tooth against additional decay. You still need to brush, floss, and get regular dental cleanings, however, the filling offers some added protection for your damaged tooth. Keep in mind that fillings wear out with time, so they will need to be replaced occasionally.
