TOOTH FILLING

Dental Fillings Restoring Your Teeth for a Healthy Smile

To treat a cavity, a dentist will remove the decayed portion of the tooth and then "fill" the area on the tooth where the decayed material once lived. Fillings are also used to repair cracked or broken teeth and teeth worn down from misuse (such as nail-biting or tooth-grinding). Today, there are many types of dental fillings.

Composite
Amalgam
Glass Ionomer
Gold
Porcelain
Inlays and Onlays

Understanding the Dental Filling Procedure

First, the dentist will numb the area around the tooth to be worked on with a local anaesthetic. Next, a drill, air abrasion instrument or laser will remove the decayed area. Next, your dentist will probe or test the area during the decay removal process to determine if all the decay has been removed. Once the decay has been removed, your dentist will prepare the space for the filling by cleaning the cavity of bacteria and debris. Generally, after the filling is in, your dentist will polish and finish it.

Today, several dental filling materials are available. Teeth can be filled with gold, porcelain, silver amalgam, or tooth-coloured, plastic and glass materials called composite resin fillings. Talk to our dentist about your best options and see what can be done.

Office Environment and Amenities : The dental clinic has a calming and welcoming atmosphere. It is designed keeping children in mind and is equipped with child-friendly amenities.

Comprehensive Dental Care Clinique dentist will advise the patient that the teeth, lips, and tongue may be numb for several hours after the procedure if a local anaesthetic is used. Some patients experience sore
gums or sensitivity to hot and cold in the tooth that has just been filled. Usually, patients are advised to avoid chewing hard foods directly on new amalgam fillings for 24 hours. Composite fillings require no special caution since they are set immediately. Patients who experience continued pain or an uncomfortable bite should call our dentist.

Fillings restore a tooth’s function and appearance. They allow the patient to continue eating and chewing correctly for several years. Regular fillings will need to be replaced over a patient’s lifetime.

To maintain your fillings, you should follow good oral hygiene practices – visiting a dentist regularly for cleanings, brushing with fluoride-containing toothpaste, and flossing at least once daily.
