DENTAL FILLINGS
Restoring Your Oral Health
Durable & Natural Looking
A filling is a common dental procedure used to restore a tooth that has been damaged by decay or trauma. It involves removing the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth and replacing it with a filling material to restore its shape and function.
The need for a filling can arise due to several reasons. The most common reason is tooth decay. Tooth decay occurs when the bacteria in our mouth produce acid that erodes the enamel of our teeth. If left untreated, the decay can penetrate deeper into the tooth, leading to pain, sensitivity, and even tooth loss. In such cases, a filling is necessary to remove the decay and prevent further damage.
A filling can help to prevent further damage to the tooth and preserve its function and appearance. If you are experiencing tooth pain or discomfort, it is important to visit a dentist who can evaluate your condition and recommend the best treatment options, including fillings.
Process For Fillings Treatment
Step 1
Anesthesia: The dentist administers local anesthesia to numb the tooth and surrounding area, minimizing any pain or discomfort during the procedure.
Step 2
Drilling: Using a dental drill or laser, the dentist removes the decayed or damaged part of the tooth, leaving behind healthy tooth structure.
Step 3
Filling: A material such as amalgam or composite is used to fill the cavity and restore the tooth's shape and function, preventing further damage or decay.
Step 4
Polishing: The tooth is polished to smooth out any rough edges and ensure a comfortable bite, leaving the tooth looking and feeling natural.
Filling FAQs
The lifespan of a filling depends on several factors, including the type of material used, the location of the filling, and your oral hygiene habits. On average, fillings can last between 5 and 15 years.
There are several types of filling materials available, including amalgam (metal), composite (tooth-colored), porcelain, and gold. The best type of filling material for you will depend on your individual needs and preferences.
