The dentist looks for cavities through a careful assessment of your teeth, which may involve a clinical exam to examine the surface of each tooth. X-rays are recommended in conjunction with a clinical examine to determine the depth and size of the decay.

If tooth decay has reached the nerve of your tooth or the procedure isn’t particularly suitable for you, our dentists will recommend an alternative course of action

Dental fillings are more suitable for those who have minor tooth decay. In some cases dental crowns may be recommended as a more ideal option if the size of the filling is determined to be larger.
