Dental Fillings: What to Expect

Maintaining Filling Brilliance

Dental fillings are one of the most common dental procedures, and they play a crucial role in preserving and restoring the health of your teeth.

The Steps of Getting a Dental Filling

The process begins with your dentist diagnosing the need for a filling. This is usually done during a routine dental check-up or if you’ve reported tooth sensitivity or pain.

Before the procedure, your dentist will numb the area around the tooth that requires the filling. This is done to ensure you don’t experience pain during the treatment.

Next, your dentist will remove the decayed portion of the tooth using a dental drill. The process ensures that no further decay will occur in that area.

Once the decay is removed, the tooth is prepared for the filling. This involves cleaning the area and shaping it to receive the filling material.

After the filling material is placed, your dentist will shape and polish it to ensure it fits comfortably with your bite and feels smooth.

Don’t ignore bleeding gums. Our treatments address the underlying causes, promoting gum health and reducing the risk of gum disease.
