Dental Fillings

WHAT ARE DENTAL FILLINGS?

Dental fillings are a common restorative dental treatment used to repair teeth affected by cavities or damage. They involve the removal of decayed or damaged tooth material and the filling of the resulting space with a suitable dental material. Fillings restore the function, integrity and aesthetics of the affected tooth, allowing you to bite, chew and smile with confidence.

WHAT TO EXPECT
When you come in for a dental filling, you may encounter the following:

• Examination and Assessment: Our dentist will examine your teeth and identify areas of decay or damage that require filling.
• Local Anesthesia: Before the filling procedure, a local anesthetic will be administered to ensure a pain-free experience.
• Removal of Decay: The decayed portion of the tooth is carefully removed, leaving behind a clean and healthy tooth structure.
• Filling Placement: The prepared cavity is filled with a suitable dental material such as composite resin or amalgam, which is shaped and polished to restore the tooth’s natural form and function.
• Bite Adjustment: Your bite will be evaluated and adjusted if necessary to ensure proper alignment and comfort.
