Restore Your Smile With Durable Dental Fillings
Healthy teeth are key to overall well-being, but over time, damage like cavities, cracks, or wear can occur. Dental fillings effectively restore teeth affected by these issues, improving both function and appearance.
If you have a cavity, chipped tooth, or damage from habits like nail-biting, our team is here to help restore your smile.
When Is A Dental Filling Necessary?
Visual examination
Physical inspection
X-ray imaging
Based on the results, your dentist will develop a personalized treatment plan. For minor cavities, a conservative approach might be taken. However, if the cavity is more advanced, causing pain or located in a challenging area, a dental filling is usually recommended.
During the filling procedure, the decayed portion of the tooth is carefully removed, and a durable filling is placed to restore the tooth’s structure and prevent further damage.
What To Expect After A Dental Filling:
Local anesthesia will be applied to numb the area, ensuring you feel no discomfort during the procedure.
Any decayed tooth material or old fillings will be removed, and the tooth cavity will be thoroughly cleaned.
The dentist will skillfully place the dental filling into the cavity, creating a strong barrier to protect the tooth from future decay.
The filling will be polished for a smooth and properly shaped surface.
A bite test will be performed to ensure the new filling aligns correctly with the opposite teeth.
