Tooth Cavity Treatment Aurora
Cavities are very common but luckily they are preventable and treatable!
Cavities can result in tooth loss, which can lead to severe oral complications. For this reason, learning how to catch them, prevent them, and treat them is important.
Causes
- Improper brushing and flossing
- Poor overall oral hygiene
- High sugar and starch content in diet
- Smoking and drug use
- Low fluoride
- Dry mouth
Treatment
Your dentist may recommend a couple of options based on the size of your cavity. For smaller cavities, a dental filling may be installed. This process involves a composite material that replaces the decayed tooth to improve health, functionality, and appearance of the affected and surrounding teeth. Larger cavities may require a dental crown to surround and protect the affected tooth after the decay has been removed.
Prevention
- Maintain a proper oral hygiene routine including good brushing and flossing techniques
- Eat a balanced diet and lower sugar and starch intakes
- See your dentist for regular checkups/cleanings

Krystal D.Google Review
Originally from Michigan, Dr. Hardenbergh has lived across the Midwest and Southeast, and is excited to make Colorado his new home. Prior to enrolling at the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine, he worked as an actuary. This background gives him a unique perspective and understanding of the business side of dentistry.
Dr. Hardenbergh comes from a family of dentists, with three generations of experience in the field. He is passionate about providing personalized, high quality care to all patients and is committed to continuing the tradition of excellence that Meadow Hills Dental is known for.
When he’s not in the office, Dr. Hardenbergh enjoys golfing and spending time with his growing family.
Please join me in welcoming Dr. Hardenbergh to the Meadow Hills Dental team. We are confident that he will be a valuable asset to our practice and we look forward to introducing him to you at your next visit.

Our state-of-the-art office features Hulu and XfinityTV for your comfort and enjoyment. We are committed to providing expert dental care while maintaining the comfort and satisfaction of our patients.
Your First Visit
When you arrive for your first visit, our staff will take a new set of x-rays to aid Dr. Hardenbergh in his examination. We use digital x-rays that reduce radiation exposure by nearly 90 percent, as compared to traditional x-rays. Dr. Hardenbergh will then conduct his examination, looking for areas of tooth decay and other oral issues. Dr. Hardenbergh also practices cosmetic dentistry and orthodontics in Aurora, CO, so please let us know if there are any improvements you would like to make to your smile. Many patients are able to receive dental cleanings with our hygienist immediately following their exam.

Additional Information About Cavity Treatment in Aurora
Cavities are a common dental issue that can lead to serious oral health problems if left untreated. At our practice in Aurora, we offer comprehensive cavity treatment to help you maintain a healthy and pain-free smile. Whether you have a small cavity or need more extensive treatment, we are here to provide you with personalized care.
What is Cavity Treatment?
Cavity treatment involves removing decayed portions of the tooth and restoring its structure and function with a filling, crown, or other dental restoration. Early detection and treatment of cavities can prevent more serious dental issues and preserve your natural teeth.
How Does Cavity Treatment Work?
The cavity treatment process at our practice in Aurora is straightforward and effective:
- Diagnosis: During your routine check-up, we use digital X-rays and thorough examination techniques to detect cavities early.
- Anesthesia: To ensure your comfort, we administer local anesthesia to numb the affected area.
- Decay Removal: The decayed portion of the tooth is carefully removed, preventing further damage.
- Restoration: The tooth is restored using a filling, inlay, onlay, or crown, depending on the extent of the decay. This restores the tooth’s function and appearance.
