Cavities are nothing to look forward to. We really understand – especially if you discover that you have adult tooth decay! Seriously? Aren’t cavities for kids? You watch your diet, keep up with your dental hygiene, and see the dentist regularly. How can it be? And doesn’t having a cavity mean that you have to get an ugly, dark tooth filling? Dr. Highsmith has not placed a silver mercury filling in over three decades!
Not at all. Though kids do tend to get cavities, adults can experience them too. But that absolutely doesn’t mean you are stuck with the dark and unattractive fillings you had as a child. Your Clyde and Asheville cosmetic dentists, Dr. John Highsmith and Dr. Sylvia Jernigan, believe that teeth should not only be beautiful, they should be healthy too. And that means using only the most biocompatible and smile-friendly materials available. Even for something as basic as a cavity. We mean it when we say, “Our Asheville dental patients deserve the best!”
