Cervical Lesion Treatment for Abfraction, Erosion and Decay
Cervical Lesion Treatment
Tooth-colored restorative treatment for sensitive or damaged cervical tooth areas affected by wear or decay.
This cervical lesion treatment case at SOL Dental Arts in Maspeth, Queens addresses damaged tooth structure near the gumline caused by abfraction, erosion, wear, or decay. Cervical lesions can make teeth look notched, feel sensitive, and become more vulnerable over time if not treated. Tooth-colored restorative treatment in this area is designed to protect the tooth, improve comfort, and restore a healthier contour at the cervical margin. These cases are often both functional and esthetic, because the goal is not only to seal and protect the tooth but also to make the restoration blend naturally with the surrounding enamel.

Tooth-colored restorative treatment
Sealing and contour repair near the gumline
Finishing for comfort and esthetics
Cervical lesions can cause sensitivity and structural weakness near the gumline, so bonded restorations are often used to protect the tooth and restore form.
Q1. What is a cervical lesion?
It is a defect near the gumline that may be caused by wear, stress, erosion, or decay.
Q2. Why are these areas so sensitive?
Because the damaged area can expose dentin and compromise the natural protective surface of the tooth.
Q3. Can the repair match the tooth?
Yes. Tooth-colored restorations are designed to blend in while protecting the area.
