Dental Fillings

A filling involves removing decayed or damaged tooth material and replacing it with a durable filling material to restore the tooth's structure and functionality.

How the Filling Process Works: Step-by-Step

1. Diagnosis and Consultation:

   • The dentist examines the tooth and uses X-rays to assess the extent of the decay or damage.

   • A suitable filling material (composite, amalgam, or ceramic) is chosen based on your needs.

2. Preparation:

   • Local anesthesia is administered to numb the area, ensuring a pain-free procedure.

   • The decayed or damaged portion of the tooth is carefully removed using specialized tools.

3. Filling Placement:

   • The tooth is cleaned and prepped to ensure proper adhesion.

   • The filling material is applied in layers and shaped to match the natural contours of your tooth.

4. Curing and Finishing:

   • For composite fillings, a special curing light is used to harden the material.

   • The filling is polished to ensure a smooth finish and comfortable bite.

When Do You Need a Dental Filling?

• Cavities or tooth decay.

• Cracks or chips in the teeth.
