What are Fillings?

Dental fillings are used to repair teeth affected by decay, restoring their shape and preventing further damage. The filling material seals the area exposed by the cavity, preventing food particles and bacteria from entering.

The Procedure

  1. Anesthetic - Administering local anesthesia to numb the affected tooth and surrounding area.

  2. Decay Removal - Removing the decayed portion of the tooth using specialized tools.

  3. Cleaning - Thoroughly cleaning the cavity to eliminate bacteria and debris.

  4. Filling Application - Placing the chosen filling material into the prepared cavity.

  5. Shaping and Polishing - Shaping the filling to match the tooth's natural contours and polishing it for a smooth finish.

FAQ

  • How long do dental implants last?
    With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, though the crown may need replacement after 10-15 years.
  • Are dental implants better than dentures?
    Implants provide a permanent, stable solution that prevents bone loss and does not require adhesives, unlike traditional dentures.
  • Am I a candidate for dental implants?
    Candidates should have good overall health, adequate jawbone density, and healthy gums. Our team will evaluate your condition to determine the best treatment plan.
  • Is the procedure painful?
    Local anesthesia is used during surgery, minimizing discomfort. Some soreness may occur post-surgery, but it can be managed with prescribed or over-the-counter pain medication.
