Dental fillings are a common restorative treatment used to repair teeth that have been damaged by decay, fractures, or wear. They are used to fill cavities or holes left in the tooth after the removal of decayed or damaged material. Fillings help restore the tooth’s function and prevent further damage or decay.
The dentist will examine the tooth and take X-rays if needed to assess the extent of the decay. The affected area of the tooth is then cleaned, and the decayed material is removed.
Once the cavity is cleaned and dried, the dentist will place the chosen filling material into the space. For composite resins, the material is applied in layers and hardened with a special light.
After the filling material is placed, the dentist will shape and polish it to ensure it fits well with your bite and looks natural.
The dentist will provide instructions for caring for your new filling, including any dietary restrictions and proper oral hygiene practices.
