What are Dental Fillings?
Dental fillings are used to repair minor fractures, cavities, and decay in teeth. By restoring the damaged part of the tooth, fillings help maintain the tooth’s integrity and prevent further damage. Our clinic offers a range of filling materials including composite resins and amalgams, allowing us to choose the best option based on the location of the tooth and the extent of the repair needed.
Why Dental Fillings Are Necessary
- Cavity Repair: Fillings are primarily used to fill the space where decay has been removed, preventing further decay and supporting the surrounding tooth structure.
- Fracture Repair: Teeth that have minor chips or fractures can often be repaired with fillings, restoring their original shape and function.
- Wear Repair: Teeth that show signs of wear from grinding or clenching can be protected and restored with fillings.
Types of Dental Fillings We Offer
- Composite Fillings: Made from a tooth-colored resin, these fillings blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a solution that is both functional and cosmetic.
- Amalgam Fillings: Known for their durability, amalgam fillings are often used for filling cavities in the back teeth where chewing pressure is greatest.
What to Expect During Your Dental Filling Appointment
- Initial Consultation: Dr. Hakimi will examine your teeth and discuss the most appropriate type of filling based on your dental needs.
- Tooth Preparation: The area around the tooth will be numbed with local anesthesia to ensure comfort. Any decay or old filling material will be removed.
- Filling Placement: The chosen filling material will be applied in layers and hardened with a special light if necessary.
- Polishing and Adjustment: Once the filling is in place, it will be shaped and polished to ensure your bite remains comfortable and the tooth looks natural.
