Process of Dental Fillings

Dental fillings are a tried-and-true method for repairing teeth affected by decay or minor damage.

Here's what a typical fillings process looks like:

1. Assessment: Your dentist starts by examining your teeth and identifying areas with decay or damage.

2. Numbing: To ensure you're comfortable, a local anaesthetic is applied to numb the area around the affected tooth. You won't feel any pain during the procedure.

3. Removal of Decay: Using specialised instruments, your dentist removes the decayed or damaged part of the tooth, leaving a clean space for the filling.

4. Filling Placement: The prepared area is filled with the chosen dental material. Common filling materials include amalgam (silver-colored), composite resin (tooth-colored), gold, or ceramic. The choice depends on factors like the location of the tooth, your budget, and your aesthetic preferences.

5. Shaping and Polishing: After the filling material is placed, your dentist shapes it to fit the natural contours of your tooth. This ensures a comfortable bite and a seamless appearance. The filling is then polished to a smooth finish.
