A tooth filling is a dental procedure to repair a cavity or damaged tooth. Dentists remove the affected part and fill the space with materials like amalgam or composite resin to restore the tooth's function and strength.
Tooth decay, often the result of plaque buildup and poor oral hygiene, can lead to cavities. These cavities, if left untreated, can progress and compromise the structural integrity of your teeth. This is where tooth fillings come to the rescue.
1. Diagnosis and Assessment:
The journey begins with a thorough examination. Our dental experts utilize advanced diagnostic tools, such as X-rays, to pinpoint areas of decay and determine the extent of the damage.
2. Consultation and Treatment Plan:
A collaborative approach is key. We discuss our findings with you, explaining the diagnosis and creating a personalized treatment plan. This includes addressing any questions or concerns you may have.
3. The Filling Procedure:
The actual filling process involves removing the decayed portion of the tooth and filling the space with a durable and tooth-colored material. This not only restores the tooth's structure but also prevents further decay.
4. Options for Modern Smiles:
Tooth fillings have evolved beyond traditional amalgam. Our practice offers a range of materials, including composite resin, which blends seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing both strength and aesthetics.
1. Preservation of Tooth Structure:
Fillings help retain the natural structure of the tooth, preventing the need for more invasive procedures like extractions.
2. Preventing Progression of Decay:
Timely fillings halt the progression of decay, ensuring that a minor issue doesn't escalate into a more significant dental concern.
3. Aesthetic Appeal:
Modern tooth-colored fillings not only restore function but also enhance the visual appeal of your smile. No more conspicuous metal fillings!
4. Swift and Painless:
With advancements in dental technology and anesthesia, the filling process is typically quick and comfortable.
