About This Service
Getting a tooth filling provides several important benefits:
Stops Tooth Decay: Fillings prevent cavities from enlarging and causing further damage to your teeth.
Relieves Pain: They can effectively relieve tooth pain caused by cavities or damaged teeth.
Restores Tooth Function: Fillings allow you to chew and bite normally, restoring the full function of the tooth.
Improves Appearance: With modern, tooth-colored materials, fillings can also improve the overall appearance of your smile.
Fillings are a crucial treatment for two main reasons:
To Stop Tooth Decay: When bacteria break down sugars and produce acids that attack tooth enamel, it leads to cavities. Fillings remove the decayed area and stop the damage from spreading.
To Repair Damaged Teeth: Fillings can also be used to fix teeth that have been chipped, cracked, or broken due to injury.
There are two primary types of filling materials:
Amalgam (Silver Fillings): These are a mixture of metals and are known for being strong, durable, and relatively inexpensive. However, they are not tooth-colored.
Composite (Tooth-Colored Fillings): Made from a composite resin, these fillings match the color of your natural teeth, making them a popular choice for visible areas. While less durable than amalgam, they are strong enough for most purposes.
The filling procedure is a straightforward process:
Numbing: The dentist will administer local anesthesia to numb the area, ensuring the procedure is painless.
Removing Decay: A drill or other instrument is used to remove the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth.
Preparing the Tooth: The cavity is shaped to prepare it for the filling material.
Placing the Filling: The chosen material is placed into the cavity and shaped to match the natural contour of your tooth.
Hardening and Polishing: For composite fillings, a special light is used to harden the material. Finally, the filling is polished to be smooth and comfortable.
