What is a dental filling?
Dental fillings are made of tooth colored material that “fills in” a defect on a tooth, usually caused by tooth decay. Because tooth decay is one of the most diagnosed health conditions, dental fillings are an important treatment to restore your teeth to their natural function and appearance.
What are the benefits of dental fillings?
Some of the benefits of dental fillings include:
Building up broken or fractured teeth
Cosmetic enhancement
Treating decayed teeth
Replacing broken fillings
While teeth are numb, the defect that the dental filling will be fixing is removed. The tooth structure is then prepared to receive the filling using a series of materials that increase the strength of the bond between the natural tooth structure and the filling. Once the dental filling has been placed, it is shaped and polished so that your bite feels normal and the shape of the new fillings matches the rest of your smile.
How do dental fillings work?
We use the highest quality materials to make sure you get the most out of your dental filling. With good home care and regular routine dental visits, dental fillings can last a lifetime.
How long do dental fillings last?
How do I know if I need a dental filling?
There are many reasons why you may need a dental filling. You may need a dental filling if you have noticed sensitivity to hot, cold, or chewing. Other times, you may notice an area of sharpness in the mouth that wasn't there prior than can point to a fractured tooth. Another common finding is extra food getting stuck between the teeth, which an mean that there is a cavity in between your teeth that needs to be filled.
