A deep cavity in the front teeth is a more severe form of decay that often results in enamel discoloration and increased sensitivity. This type of damage affects both the health and the aesthetics of your smile.
The deeper the decay, the higher the risk of pulpitis (inflammation of the nerve), so the procedure must be performed with great care. Local anesthesia is used to ensure complete comfort. The dentist removes the infected tissue and applies a protective lining to shield the pulp and reduce nerve irritation.
Afterward, the tooth is restored using an aesthetic composite material. It is applied in layers to mimic the natural translucency of the enamel. The surface is then finely polished to ensure a smooth, glossy, and lifelike result.
This treatment typically takes 45–60 minutes. Some sensitivity may occur in the first few hours after the procedure but usually resolves within a day.
