What does the treatment involve?
Dental fillings are procedures used to repair teeth damaged by tooth decay. During these procedures, the dentist removes the affected part of the tooth and fills the resulting cavity with a suitable dental material. This helps restore the shape and function of the affected tooth.
Process
- Initial Evaluation: Our dentist will conduct a thorough evaluation of your oral health, including identifying areas affected by cavities. 3D panoramic X-rays can be used to assess the extent of the damage.
- Local Anesthesia: Before the procedure, local anesthesia will be administered to ensure your comfort during the treatment. The area around the affected tooth will be numbed to minimize any discomfort.
- Removal of Cavities: The dentist will use special dental instruments to completely remove the decay from the affected tooth. This involves removing the damaged tooth tissue and cleaning the resulting cavity.
- Filling the Cavity: Once the cavity is clean, it will be filled with the selected dental filling material. The material will conform to the shape of the tooth and be applied in layers to ensure a strong and durable restoration.
- Adjustments and Polishing: After placing the filling material, the dentist will make the necessary adjustments to ensure a comfortable fit and proper bite. Next, the surface of the restored tooth will be polished to give it a natural appearance.
