Dental Cavity Fillings

Restore Your Smile and Oral Health Tooth decay is a very prevalent dental problem that people of all ages are susceptible to.

Thankfully, dental cavity fillings provide a fast and effective way of restoring the tooth structure and preventing the further development of the problem.

We offer painless, quality cavity fillings with the newest materials and methods to achieve lasting results and a natural look.

What are Dental Cavity Fillings?

A cavity filling is a treatment for fixing a tooth that has been damaged or decayed. When sugars work with plaque on your teeth, they form acids that break down the enamel. The breakdown, over time, forms a hole—a cavity. A filling involves removing the part of the tooth that was decayed and filling it with something that rebuilds the shape, strength, and function of the tooth.

Indications That You Might Need a Filling
Not all cavities are painful at first. But a few of the symptoms that are common and might be present with you having a cavity filling are:

• Sensitivity of teeth to heat, cold, or sweets
• Visible spots or holes on the tooth
• Toothache or severe pain when chewing
• Food trapped in one area
• Chipped or rough surface of the tooth

Early detection is essential, hence frequent dental visits are the order of the day in identifying cavities before they worsen.

The Cavity Filling Procedure
The procedure for obtaining a dental filling is painless and fast. Here is what you can expect to occur:

Examination and Diagnosis
Your dentist will look at the tooth and may take X-rays to figure out how much decay there is.

Numbing the Area
A local anesthetic is injected to numb you so that you won’t feel pain when the procedure is done.

Removing the Decay
The decayed part of the tooth is removed slowly with a dental drill or laser.

Filling the Cavity
The area is disinfected and filled with the selected material of filling. For composite fillings, the filling material is added in layers and then hardened by a special light.

Shaping and Polishing
The filling is shaped to fit your bite and polished to be smooth and natural.
