The role of fillings

Fillings are common dental procedures used to repair the function and appearance of damaged teeth. Whether it’s decay, fractures, or wear, these treatments restore the tooth’s integrity and prevent further dental issues.

Choosing the right material

Fillings and restorations come in various materials, including amalgam, composite, and porcelain. Your dentist will help you choose the best option based on the tooth’s location, extent of decay, and aesthetic considerations.

The filling procedure explained

The process involves removing decayed or damaged tooth material, cleaning the affected area, and then filling or covering the tooth with the chosen material. These procedures are typically completed in one visit, with little to no discomfort.

Why dental fillings might be needed

Improving oral health and aesthetics.

  • Decay Removal: Fillings are primarily used to repair cavities and remove decay.
  • Aesthetic Enhancement: Modern materials provide a natural look, enhancing your smile’s appearance.
  • Strength and Durability: High-quality materials ensure long-lasting results and tooth functionality.
  • Prevent Further Decay: Sealing off areas where bacteria enter, reducing the risk of future cavities.

Aftercare for fillings and restorations

Proper aftercare is crucial to ensure the longevity of your dental work. This includes maintaining good oral hygiene, avoiding hard or sticky foods initially, and attending regular dental check-ups to monitor the restorations.
