Dental Fillings

Dental fillings are composed of a single material or a mix of metals, polymers, glass, or other substances used to repair or restore teeth. Fillings are often used to "fill" a section of the tooth that your dentist removed due to decay or to restore fractured or broken teeth and worn-down teeth from usage.

The following are some of the advantages of dental fillings:

Depending on the therapy you pick, it may take just a few minutes. For instance, tooth-colored filling treatment for three cavities will take less than an hour. Additionally, the whole treatment is painless. A dentist will inject a local anesthetic into the treatment region to ensure you are not in discomfort.

Any dental filling might be attractive, depending on your definition of pleasing. For instance, gold is one of the world's most valuable metals, and having gold fillings might make you feel more confident and encourage you to smile more.

Composite fillings, on the other hand, are rather attractive. They fit in seamlessly with your natural teeth, and no one will ever know you had a cavity. Your teeth will be perfectly white and lovely.

Dental fillings are very long-lasting. For instance, gold fillings may last up to twenty years. You only need to look after them. 

Porcelain and composite fillings blend seamlessly with the natural color of your teeth. It enables you to cure the cavity while maintaining the natural appearance of your teeth. It implies that your dentist will not be required to remove a significant amount of your natural tooth structure.

Composite dental fillings have further use. It may use them to restore teeth that have been damaged or fractured.

Many patients undergoing fillings elect to use a local anesthetic to numb the region around the tooth before drilling.

Our dentist will use a drill or a laser to cut through the enamel and remove the decay. A laser filling procedure may be performed without the need for anesthesia.

The composite filling technique is started by etching exposed surfaces using an acidic gel to aid adherence. Then a bonding agent that has been toughened with specific blue light is followed by the layered application of the filler substance. Finally, using blue light, the material is cured.
