The Filling Process
The filling process begins with a thorough examination of the affected area. After determining the extent of the decay, we will numb the area for your comfort. Our skilled dental team will then remove the decayed tissue before carefully applying the filling material. We ensure that the filling is molded to fit comfortably, restoring the tooth's function and shape.
Common Types of Filling Materials
There are several widely used types of dental fillings. Amalgam fillings, made of metallic materials, provide strong durability and are typically used for back teeth. Composite resin fillings are tooth-colored and can be molded to match the natural appearance of teeth, making them suitable for visible areas. Porcelain fillings are custom-fabricated in a lab and offer outstanding strength along with aesthetic appeal. Each type has distinct benefits tailored to various dental needs.
Aftercare Tips for Longevity
Ensuring the longevity of your dental fillings requires diligent care and attention after your procedure, along with regular dental checkups to monitor your fillings. For optimal longevity of your dental fillings, maintain excellent oral hygiene by brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste and flossing regularly. Reach out to your dentist if you experience ongoing pain or sensitivity!
